How to Measure Your Head for the Perfect Custom Hat

At Roper Hat & Co., I believe your hat should fit like it was made just for you—because it is. No two heads are the same, and getting the perfect fit comes down to precision and a little personal touch.

The good news? You can measure your head right at home with just a couple of simple tools.

Step 1: Grab a soft measuring tape and wrap it around your head where your hat will naturally sit—just above your eyebrows and ears. Keep it snug, but not too tight. Think comfortable and secure—not the kind of tight that gives you a “hat headache.”

Step 2: Once you’ve got your number, snap a quick selfie with the measuring tape in place. This little detail helps me double-check your measurement so I can make sure your hat fits flawlessly.

Next, take a peek at our Shape Guide and choose the crown shape that feels most like “you.”

When you’re ready, just send two things to me at roperhatco@gmail.com:

• Your selfie with the measuring tape
• The shape you’re looking for

That’s all I need to craft a hat that doesn’t just fit your head—it fits you.
