How to determine the size of the cap?

As well as clothes, hats have certain sizes by which you can pick them up and you need to know. After all, it is not always possible to visit the store and try on a few hats or hats to choose the most suitable among the entire range of styles offered. In addition, the headdress should be comfortable, because the comfort that gives this accessory for everyday wear is very important.

Especially well need to provide the exact size in a situation where you need to purchase a new cap for your child. For infants, comfortable hats are bought in size every six months, because the baby grows and the girth of its head increases. If you have to choose an autumn or fur winter hat for a small child - experts advise taking a slightly larger size than at the moment from your baby.

All you need to measure, and it is not difficult - head girth. For this purpose, the usual measuring tape or thick thread that does not stretch. The tape or thread is applied first to the middle of the child’s forehead, and then circled around the head, grabbing the most prominent places in the back of the head. The resulting figure on the measuring tape - this is the desired size of the headdress. If you measured the girth of the head with a string, you will also receive the necessary data for the purchase of a children's headgear. To do this, you only need to bring the thread to the ruler and see what is its length.

In adults, the procedure for obtaining the size of the headdress is almost the same, except for a few subtleties. Since hats, autumn and winter hats for adults have different shapes, are made from various materials and are worn depending on the style, two additional parameters are needed to determine the adult size.

• the first is the length of the longitudinal arc line. So called the distance from the supraorbital recesses to the protruding parts of the occipital region of the head.

• the second parameter is the length of the transverse line of the head. It is measured by passing a centimeter tape from one temple to another along the top of the head through the crown.

After taking measurements, adults can also refer to the universal size table, where the data are in centimeters and inches. International dimensions are determined by Latin numerals, and English - fractional values ​​from 6 to 8.

For the convenience of parents, the main parameters necessary for selecting the cap are located side by side in the pivot table. The age of the child and his height are in it, along with the size of the headgear corresponding to these indicators.

One-year-old child, according to the average values ​​of its growth - up to 80-90 cm - reaches the size of the cap 47-48. Then, by one and a half years, his height increases to 100 cm, and the size to 49. After that, the table looks like this: a child grows about 6 cm higher each year, and the size of his headgear increases his value annually also by one.

That is, by 4 years the size of the cap will be 52, by 6 years - 54. By nine years, the child usually grows up to 140 cm, the girth of his head corresponding to the height reaches 56 cm, after which the growth slows down a bit unchanged for another two to three years, sometimes up to the age of 16.

Of course, every baby grows in its own way. Therefore, the main parameters in the choice of size should be the individual parameters of your child, regardless of the averages in the tables.

Measurements for greater accuracy, it is desirable to adjust by attaching a centimeter tape not one, but two times, in order to get the size accurately.The value of such a parameter as the girth of the head in centimeters, when measured, is always rounded up. For example, if your girth turned out to be 50.5 cm, then the size you need is 51.

Determining the size of men's and women's hats of famous brands has its own characteristics. Women's hats are often equipped with a size tape, which can be pulled down by changing the size to one or two values, and this moment is also better taken into account when buying a stylish hat from a foreign manufacturer.

Usually, buying a women's demi-season hat, you should take into account that it can stretch after washing. For this reason, stylists advise to carefully inspect the product and choose a hat that at the time of fitting fits tightly to the head. This applies especially to knitted goods and wool berets. After wearing a hat for several days, you will feel comfortable, the hat will “sit down” well, and you will look perfect in it.

For men's hats, measurements are carried out in the same ways - using a tape or a thick thread and a ruler. Measurements for men's caps are done as follows: in this case, the head coverage in centimeters will be completely correct, if you attach the tape a little higher than the eyebrows - approximately 2 cm.
