Size guide

Please ensure you measure your head; this will enable the best fit possible.

All heads come in different shapes and sizes, so it is important that you measure your head correctly if ordering our embroidered hats to ensure your hat is a perfect fit as each hat is bespoke to the name which it is made for. The easiest way to decide your hat size is to take the measurement in centimetres and then check the chart below for the right size.

How to measure your head for a hat:
To determine your correct hat size, measure the circumference around your head across the temples and above the eyebrow ridges / around the ears. (Follow the bottom of the hat as in the image below shows). If you fall between measurements go for the next hat size up. Your hat should be snug on your head, but comfortable to wear.

As a guide once you measure your head add 2-3cm to this measurement if you have hair beyond shoulder length. If you have short hair then you don't need to add anything. Danielle’s head measures well for a small hat but when the hair is added, a medium size is required.

For the most accurate measurements for our embroidered hats, we do advise to order one of our sample packs and allow all staff to try the hats on. As men often have short hair, the adjustable bandana usually fits most men without an issue, and we have tried our bandana on children with small heads and it works well.

One of the fantastic benefits of our badge hat range is that the hats can be ordered and the size selected afterwards which stops the hold up of the order. Embroidery is great but one of the main limitations is the ordering process and the requirement of all staff members needing to try the hats on to select the most appropriate size for them.

We have had clinicians who have ‘guessed’ their hat size based on head circumference alone and they have been incorrect when adding their hair to the hat also, so they have unfortunately been wasted! Our badge hats are plain with press studs at the front so measuring heads prior is not necessary- the hats can be selected on arrival, just like scrub sizes are selected at the start of each day!
