Safari Hats

The a-z of safari hats… and the best safari hat to buy.

Everything you need to know about safari hats – from their origins to what makes a great safari hat, and a list of the very best safari hats to buy in 2020.

Read on for the full lowdown on safari hats (or check out our articles on safari jackets , or more general safari clothing tips for planning your safari wardrobe):

What is a safari hat?

What became the first safari hats were introduced in Asia and the Indian subcontinent through the 1800s as a pith helmet , also known as a safari helmet, sun helmet, topee, sola topee or topi.

These lightweight hats were made out of pith (a soft tissue found inside tree trunks) of the Indian sola tree and covered with a white cloth. They were first used by the European military, though they quickly realized that white hats made them an easy target, so started dyeing the white cloth with tea, to give them a distinctive khaki colour.

In the early 1900s, many Europeans in Asia started to were these pith helmets – and variations on them – as sun hats to protect their heads from the tropical sun. (They were even worn indoors by some who believed sunlight could penetrate their roof!) Understanding of the sun’s powers has evolved since then, as has fashion, and safari hats have developed to be an essential piece of kit when spending time outdoors in sunny terrain, whether on a trip taking in the desert, jungle, savanna, or, of course, safari.

And these days safari hats are being worn not just for protection from the sun, but as a fashion statement too, acceptable as an accessory of choice when going outdoors in any situation given.

What makes a great safari hat?

Whilst there’s a time and a place for the traditional pith helmet (fancy dress party, perhaps?), there is much choice for great safari hats around today – the question is, ‘what should I look for in a safari hat?’ We believe there are several things that you need to consider when buying a good safari hat:

The primary reason for wearing a hat on a daily basis – not just on safari – is to provide protection from the sun while you’re out and about. So just how much sun-protection will the hat provide? You might want to consider buying a safari hat with a wide brim so it can cover both your face and your neck and protect you from sunburn.

A waterproof safari hat is a good idea for a couple of reasons. The obvious one is that if it rains whilst you’re on safari and you don’t have shelter your hat can protect you from the rain. The other reason is that non-waterproof safari hats tend to be made out of cotton, which can start to smell a bit after a long day of usage. Buying a waterproof safari hat will make sure you’re protected from sun damage as well as from developing a bad odor.

They say that style and comfort must meet halfway, but if you must choose one over the other you should go for comfort. Why? Simply because you look the best when you feel most comfortable! And when on safari you can sometimes find yourself wearing a hat for the best part of a whole day, so it makes sense to ensure that any safari hat you buy is as comfortable as possible.

Most safari hats are made out of leather, rubber, cotton or man-made fabric. Which one you go for will depend on your personal preference, but make sure you choose a well-made safari hat that will last.  My personal choice is leather because in most cases leather hats will last a lifetime (and grow character) with proper care.

Style is subjective, but it all comes down to how you picture yourself wearing something. Make sure that when you buy a safari hat you really see yourself wearing it and looking at your best.

Mens Safari Hats Read our Mens Safari Hats Advice Guide

The advice below is a summary . If you are looking for more information & expert advice then please click here for our full safari hat advice guide .

• To prevent having your face and neck burnt by the sun during your safari activities, you will need a wide-brimmed men's safari hat.
• With mean high temperatures reaching mid-20 to mid-30 degrees Celsius on most safaris and with safari areas in Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, and Zambia high above sea level, the effects of the sun will be pronounced and the risk of being burnt by the sun will be high. As a wide-brimmed men's safari hat sits on your head, it is literally your first line of defence against a hot midday African sun.
• Another benefit of wide-brimmed men's safari hats which most people don't think about is the shelter they provide when it rains. We find that a wide-brimmed safari hat definitely makes it slightly less uncomfortable when you are caught out on a walk or game drive by a sudden thunderstorm or tropical shower, as at least your face - or most of it - remains dry.
• Colour is key when choosing a men's safari hat - with neutral shades such as khaki, green, or brown the best. Your safari hat will often be the most conspicuous part of you as you hide behind a bush while viewing wildlife on a walk.
• Modern wide-brimmed men's safari hats are conveniently packable too and so do not lose their shape when you take them out of your luggage. If they have lost a bit of shape, you are usually easily able to manipulate them back into shape. However, never crush your safari hat under a hard object - such as shoes or binoculars - when packing.

Number of wide-brimmed men's safari hats to pack for your safari: 1 x wide-brimmed safari hat per person. *Pack a safari beanie for the African winter too.

Why Mens Safari Hats

If you’re an outdoorsperson, and you need a bit of sun protection from the elements, look no further than a canvas or mesh safari hat for men that’s stylish enough to not ruin your selfies from the trail but useful enough to keep you safe from the rays. Men’s safari hats today come in all shapes and sizes, and the ultra-flexible editions that exist today are ideal for the more rugged of us.

Don’t let the safari hat’s name scare you. This isn’t just a style for mountaineers and hikers, though it certainly can be. No, the men’s safari hat can’t be put in a corner, which is part of its appeal. This style can address any outfit’s shortcomings and create something out of nothing in a hurry. Go on, look for your next wide-brimmed adventuring companion today. You’ll be glad you did.

With its wide brim and increasingly softening crown design, the safari hat for men makes for an excellent piece of sun protection that can double as a clean complement to a more casual wardrobe even when you’re not lounging at the beach. The variety of options in which the safari hat is now available means you don’t need to be on an African safari to truly enjoy its benefits. With the right color, shape, and material, your safari hat can add to semi-casual weekend wear or even make the right leather jacket pop.

As music festivals and their outdoor celebration ilk increase in popularity, the sartorial choices safari hats offer are increasingly in play. Mix and match with other neutral, earthy tones for an ideal desert getaway look. Add the right color safari hat to your streetwear getup and parade down main street like you own the place. This spring and summer season the safari hat is your cant-leave-home-without companion, and for good reason.

You don’t have to be out on a literal safari or at an Indiana Jones fan convention to enjoy a stylish safari hat. The wide-brimmed hat style has undergone a slow transformation from the hard-shelled pith helmets of British colonial military regiments. With an indentation on the crown and a more malleable body than its predecessor, today’s safari hat style is less rigorous army wear and more a comfortable fashion statement.

Safari hats as we know them today are made of a variety of different materials. Felt safari hats, leather safari hats, straw, canvas, mesh, you name it. The style has evolved in some ways. It’s now a more versatile hat shape than it once was. But in other ways, the safari hat has remained much the same. Though its modern appearance is more fashion-forward, it is still a very utilitarian style, if you need it to be.

Let customers speak for us

it FITS and it fits great and is done great. Im really happy i ordered this hat, love the look and the feel!!! Thank you Mark

Love this hat, so cute and I will be able to wear it all summer long!

I decorate hats for friends and family but this hat was just for me. After months looking for this style of hat I found your website and was thrill that I finally found the hat I had been searching for. I love this hat and wear it every opportunity I get. I look forward to purchasing from you again.

Beautiful hat

I love the way this hat looks on the website and in other review pictures. On my head, I'm still undecided whether it will become my favorite Conner Hat. Currently that title goes to my Kangaroo Buffalo hat. The crown on the Bounty Hunter is a bit taller than my other hats.

I wasn't expecting the hat to be as stiff and rigid as it is. It "looks" like leather or waxed canvas but doesn't feel like any other leather or canvas hat I own. It will take me some time to get accustomed to it. That said, I don't think the brim will ever flop up around in the wind or rain.

It is also surprisingly light weight (in terms of pounds). It is significantly lighter weight than my other similar sized hats. The brim is very moldable so if I decide to reshape the brim I have no doubt it will hold its shape.

As for sizing, my Kangaroo Buffalo hat is an XL even though my measurements put me firmly in the size L bucket. Before ordering the Bounty Hunter hat, I emailed customer service and was told to order size L because they run large. It was a solid recommendation. Size L fits perfect.

This is my 2nd Conner Hat. So far I'm pleased with the service and the quality of both hats. It took a few days before each order shipped, but I was pleasantly surprised both times that USPS delivered them a few days earlier than they originally estimated. Conner is a family business, so I'm Ok with a slightly longer shipping time vs. AMZ. I like buying from humans.

I bought this hat for a trip to Mexico and it really delivered: my head stayed cool (I could feel the breeze on my noggin at times) and my wife tells me it looked good. This is something because I don't like wearing a hat but have to on account of my hairline. And it packed well, didn't get crushed in my suitcase. Highly recommended.

Great buy. Excellent people and customer service is beyond excellent

Looks great and fits comfortably. Nothing but compliments and I feel like a true gentleman wearing it. I would buy it again!

Absolutely love my hat feels great lite and comfortable and love all the compliments thank you Conner mt.warning this hat was made for me

Pretty comfy even in hot weather. Pretty light and love that you can shape it as well.

Love this hat. Can be used any time of day. Comfortable and attractive.

Great fitting and comfortable.

Shipped securely and extremely great quality more than I was expecting I will be buying more styles from them and recommend to all

Exactly what I wanted, exactly what I got! Perfect size for me to wear doing yard work without needing the cord, but glad to have it for activities away from home. Light, breathable, took me too long to know the benefits of a sun hat.

Great hat! Feels great and fits my big head perfect! I will be a future customer.

Styling Tips

Classic Explorer: Pair your Pith Helmet with khaki shorts, a linen shirt, and hiking boots for an authentic explorer look. Urban Jungle: Wear your hybrid safari hat with jeans, a casual tee, and sneakers for a city-adventurer vibe. Accessorize: Team up your hat with a pair of aviator sunglasses and a rugged satchel to enhance the adventurous aura. Maintenance: Keep your safari hat in pristine condition by storing it in a cool, dry place and occasionally brushing off any accumulated dust. Embark on new adventures, knowing you're donning a hat that's rich in history and unparalleled in style. With our Safari hats, every journey is a step back in time, filled with tales of exploration and discovery. Choose Conner Hats for an authentic safari experience.

One of the main purposes of a safari hat is to protect you from the sun’s harmful rays. Look for hats with a wide brim that provides ample shade for your face, neck, and ears.

Additionally, consider hats with UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) ratings, which indicate how effectively the hat blocks UV radiation.

A well-fitting safari hat is essential for comfort and functionality. Look for hats with adjustable chin straps or drawstrings to ensure a snug fit.

Additionally, consider hats with sweat-wicking or moisture-wicking properties to keep you dry and comfortable during long days in the sun.

While functionality is key, style is also important when choosing a safari hat.

Consider hats with neutral colors and classic designs that will complement a variety of outfits.

Additionally, look for hats with packable designs that can be easily stored in your luggage or backpack.

Travel Safari Hat Frequently Asked Questions

Which materials are best for a durable safari hat.

When it comes to durability, natural materials such as cotton, canvas, and leather are the best options for a safari hat.

Synthetic materials like nylon and polyester are also durable, but they may not provide the same level of breathability as natural materials.

Wide-brimmed hats with a full 360-degree coverage provide the most sun protection. Look for hats with a brim of at least 3 inches all around.

Hats with a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating are also a good choice, as they are specifically designed to block harmful UV rays.

How should a safari hat fit for optimal comfort and function?

A safari hat should fit snugly but not too tight. It should sit comfortably on your head without sliding down or feeling too loose.

When trying on a safari hat, make sure it covers your entire head and ears for maximum protection.

Adjustable chin straps and sweatbands can also help ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

Hat Sizing Chart

Hats offer both style and function. From adding the perfect finishing touch to your outfit to offering sun protection, hats provide endless benefits. However, no matter your favorite style, it's important to make sure a hat fits you correctly before purchasing it.

 *IMPORTANT* It is important to note that these size correspondents are not always exactly matching between brands and styles and every hat is a little bit different.  We are always happy to measure the inside of a hat you see on our site to your head size to ensure a good fit before shipping your order.

Hat Sizing:

Hat sizing comes in three general  sizes. 

• The most commonly used sizing you will see here are SM, MD, LG, XL and occasionally 2 & 3X sizes .
• The second most common sizing that we have on our site is that of half-sizes. Meaning there are usually only two sizes: SM/MD, and LG/XL. Occasionally there are 2X sizes as well.
• The more traditional sizing is that of the exact size in inches and/or in centimeters. You will commonly see these sizes on more expensive hats.

Men's and Women's Hat Sizes 

Some men's hats come in a one-size-fits-all style, but you'll more commonly find specific size ranges such as S to XL or 6 to 8. This wide range of measurements offers men the ability to choose their favorite style then create a comfortable, custom fit.

Women's hats, which usually come in a one-size-fits-all size, typically fit a head circumference of around 21 1/2 to 22 1/4 inches. Most of the time, women's hats will come with either an interior drawstring or adjustable band to help create more of a tailored fit. 

Even though there aren't as many size options, women can — and often do — wear any men's hat style.

How to Measure Your Head 

To  measure your head and figure out your hat size , you'll want to first grab a measuring tape or a 25-inch string and ruler. Once you've gathered your supplies, follow these three quick and easy steps: 

• Measure your head:  Using your measuring tape or piece of string, evenly wrap it all the way around your head until it overlaps. Be sure to keep it about 1 inch above your ears for the most accurate measurement.
• Find your size:  Once you've obtained your head circumference measurement, take your measuring tape or string and measure the length on your ruler. 
• Use the hat size chart:  To find your hat size, take your ruler measurement and find the corresponding size on the chart. Usually, these charts will list the measurements in centimeters and inches. The average adult hat size is between 53 and 58 centimeters. 
• If your measurement falls between two different sizes, we recommend sizing up to the nearest 1/8-inch. You can then use the hat's sizing tape to size your hat down if necessary. 

It is important to keep in mind that even though there is an industry standard, each hat manufacturer is different. There can be variations and inconsistencies in sizing depending on what company created the hat. That's why it's important to measure your head and look at the hat's specific sizing chart to ensure you find the perfect fit.

What Is UPF?

Whether you're out in the sun all day or only on occasion, protection from harmful UV rays is paramount. People are increasingly turning to ultraviolet protection factor clothing, as it helps prevent sunburns and the long-term effects of prolonged sun exposure, including sunspots, premature wrinkles and skin cancer.

In this guide, we'll discuss the definition of UPF and UPF clothing and examine how it compares to the better-known SPF standard. We'll also talk about the benefits of wearing one of the most popular UPF clothing items — hats.

Benefits of UPF

UPF is to clothing what sun protection factor is to sunscreen — it indicates the fraction of UV light that can penetrate a fabric. For instance, a 25 UPF rating means the fabric lets in 1/25, or 4%, of the UV radiation, and a garment with a UPF rating of 50 lets in 1/50, or 2%, of the UV radiation. 

The UPF clothing industry has seen remarkable growth in recent years, expanding from mainly practical items to a wider variety of attractive, everyday clothing styles. UPF clothing is now available in thousands of designs by dozens of companies, all of which use treated fabrics, tighter weaves or both to block UV rays more effectively. Some clothing manufacturers specialize in UPF apparel, including Coolibar, UV Skinz and Mott50. Other well-known brands, like Athleta and Uniqlo, also offer UPF items now.  This surge in popularity is partly due to frustrations with sunscreen, which include its uncomfortable greasy feeling, the need to apply it frequently and the risk it may pose to aquatic life. Over recent decades, consumers have become more aware of the dangers of extended exposure to sunlight, which has also contributed to the growing popularity of SPF clothing. 

UPF protective clothing, like sunscreen, undergoes testing at independent laboratories, but UPF testing is currently not a requirement. Generally, companies that manufacture and sell UPF items in the United States follow complementary standards established by the  American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists  and  ASTM International , formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials. Clothing tags will often say the items have a UPF rating, but will not mention whether they have met those standards specifically.  

If the tag includes a  Seal of Recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation , that shows compliance, but not all companies apply for the distinction. 

Laboratories use AATCC and ASTM protocols to gauge the percentage of UV radiation that penetrates a specific fabric. Some UV rays pass through to the skin directly via micro-spaces located between fibers, and the fibers will absorb or deflect other rays. Moisture can also affect a garment's UPF rating, with a dry fabric usually providing more protection than the same piece when it's wet.  

Recommended Ratings

Garments with UPF ratings below 15 are not sun-protective. To get the voluntary Seal of Recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation, the item must earn a 30 or higher rating from either the ASTM or AATCC. Any rating above 30 provides sufficient protection, though 50 is the best. While a UPF rating can technically be higher than 50, it won't offer significantly better protection, so garments with ratings above 50 will report it as "50+." 

UPF vs. SPF — What's the Difference?

UPF and SPF are both standards for measuring UV protection. Most everyone is familiar with SPF, which has measured sunscreen effectiveness for decades. In contrast, the UPF standard is relatively new and created specifically for rating UV protection offered by fabrics. Originally, sun-protective materials in the United States used SPF ratings, and the UPF standard didn't come into existence until later. Since applying for a UPF rating is not mandatory, many sun-protective clothing manufacturers continue to use the SPF standard.    

SPF Rating System 

Companies perform SPF testing on humans. SPF measures how long someone can stay under the sun before their skin starts to burn. For instance, if someone starts to get a sunburn after only 10 minutes, if they apply adequate sunscreen with an SPF 15 rating, the sunscreen should give them 150 minutes of sun protection. 

It's essential to note that, while sunblocks with the same SPF ratings will provide identical protection from UVB rays, no sunscreen protects you from all UVA rays. Even if a sunscreen claims to protect against UVA rays, the SPF standard currently doesn't measure protection from UVA rays. 

While researchers still believe UVB rays primarily cause sunlight-induced skin damage, particularly sunburn, many experts hypothesize UVA rays may be involved in other sun damage types, including wrinkles, aging and skin cancers. 

UPF Rating System 

Manufacturers of UPF fabrics don't test their effectiveness on human subjects. Instead, they usually use spectrophotometer tools. The UPF rating shows what percentage of UV radiation the clothing's fabric absorbs. 

For instance, a garment with a 50 UPF rating lets only 1/50th UV radiation from the sun go through it, meaning the garment will reduce your exposure to radiation by 98% in places the fabric protects. 

One advantage the UPF standard has over the SPF standard is that it measures protection against UVB and UVA rays.

Why Get a Hat With UPF Protection?

If you're only going to invest in one clothing item with UPF protection, a hat is perhaps the best choice. Benefits of UPF hats include the following.

• You can still be stylish :  If you're new to UPF, you may not realize UPF hats come in a wide variety of styles, meaning you won't have trouble finding a hat design that suits your tastes. 
• It provides better protection :  UPF hats aren't only an alternative to sunscreen on your face — they offer better protection than sunscreen, as they shield you from UVA and UVB rays. 
• There is no need to reapply :  Put on your UPF hat and you're good to go — no need to reapply every few hours. 
• You won't have to apply sunscreen on your children :  If you're the parent of young children, you know how much of a struggle it can be to put sunscreen on them. Having them wear UPF hats will protect their face, ears and neck from harmful sun rays. 
• There are no annoyances :  By using a UPF hat instead of sunscreen, you don't have to deal with all the irritations associated with sunscreen — your skin won't feel greasy, you'll never have to experience the sting of getting sunscreen in your eyes and you won't have to worry about your protection washing off when you go in the water.   
• They're a great choice if you suffer from photosensitivity :  Sun sensitivity can result from skin care products, medical conditions and some medications. If you struggle with this condition, consider getting a hat with UPF protection next time you go out in the sun.     
• They're more environmentally friendly :  As we mentioned earlier, some  chemicals used in sunscreens threaten marine life . By choosing SPF hats for your sun protection, you're not only benefiting yourself — you're helping Mother Nature.

As we mentioned above, UPF hats come in a broad array of styles and designs. Here are some of the most popular items for men.

How to Measure Your Head Size

Finding the perfect hat is about more than style and function. It's also about fit. When they fit right, hats can complement an outfit and enhance your face. When hats don't fit right, they may end up hidden in a box in the back of your closet. The most stylish hat in the world won't be much use if it's always sliding down over your eyes or tucked out of sight.

If you're eyeing the perfect headwear, it's important to figure out what size you need before you commit to the purchase. Even hats labeled as "one size fits most" aren't always for everyone.  The first step to finding the right fit for you is to measure your head accurately and consult the sizing chart above.

You'll want to first grab a measuring tape or a 25-inch string and ruler. Once you've gathered your supplies, follow these three quick and easy steps: 

• Measure your head: Using your measuring tape or piece of string, evenly wrap it all the way around your head until it overlaps. Be sure to keep it about 1 inch above your ears for the most accurate measurement.

• Use the hat size chart: To find your hat size, take your ruler measurement and find the corresponding size on the chart. Usually, these charts will list the measurements in centimeters and inches. The average adult hat size is between 53 and 58 centimeters. 

It is important to keep in mind that even though there is an industry standard, each hat manufacturer is different. There can be variations and inconsistencies in sizing depending on what company created the hat.  That's why it's important to measure your head and look at the hat's specific sizing chart to ensure you find the perfect fit. 

How to Measure Your Hat Size

To determine your correct size, you first need to understand that hats come in three general sizes:

• The more traditional sizing is that of the exact size in inches and/or in centimeters. You will commonly see these sizes on more expensive hat

Measuring your head and using the hat sizing chart above will give you a general idea of what size hat you should wear. However, it is important to note that these size correspondents are not always exactly matching between brands and styles and every hat is a little bit different. We are always happy to measure the inside of a hat you see on our site to your head size to ensure a good fit before shipping your order.

At Hats Unlimited, we also have a  comprehensive return policy . If you don't get the size quite right or don't like the fit, it's easy to return your hat for a refund or exchange. Our goal is to get you in the right hat for you.

Women's Sizing

When you're choosing a size, you'll also want to consider the differences between a men's hat and a woman's hat.  Women's hats are most commonly designed with a one size fits most approach. In general, a women's hat can comfortably fit a woman with a head circumference between 21 1/2 inches and 22 1/4 inches. The variation in sizing is more commonly addressed by manufacturers today, who increasingly include an adjustable band or interior drawstring into their design.

However, there isn't an industry standard for one size fits most, which means that women's hat sizes can vary between manufacturers. What fits comfortably from one brand may be uncomfortable from another. The best way to avoid this problem is to measure your head's circumference and compare that with the measurements the manufacturer provides for each hat you're considering. 

Luckily, women can also choose any men's style, and often do, and look very fashionable with the right hat.  Since men's hats come in specific sizes, women can measure their heads and use the sizing chart to find a more precise fit.

Men's Sizing 

Men's hats often come in very specific sizes. Men's hat sizes can be measured S-XL or with numerical values ranging between 6 and 8. Men's hats may also come in a one size fits most option, and the range of measurements this can accommodate is typically higher than women's sizing. 

Once you've measured your head, consult the manufacturer's sizing chart to determine what size you'll want to order. If you're considering a hat that claims to be one size fits most, compare the hat's measurements to your own. It's also a good idea to check to see if the hat comes with features that allow you to adjust the sizing, such as an adjustable band.

While it's difficult to get an exact measurement of every hat we have on Hats Unlimited because there are so many, we try to include measurements we've taken of our most popular hats on the product page.

Tips and Tricks for Measuring Your Hat Size 

Measuring for a new hat isn't complicated, but taking an accurate measurement can be crucial to the enjoyment of your new hat. To avoid buying a hat you won't be able to wear, follow these five tips for success. 

1. Measure Twice, Buy Once

The old carpenter's adage rings equally true for measuring hats. It can be risky to use the first measurement you take, especially if this is the first time you've measured your head. If you order a hat based on an incorrect measurement, you may be stuck with a hat that isn't comfortable. Avoid this problem by making a point to measure at least twice before you order.

After the first measurement, write down the circumference in both centimeters and inches. Then measure again. If you get the same measurement a second time, you're probably on track. If the numbers come out differently than the first time, measure a third time. The goal is to get the same numbers every time so you can be confident you're buying the right hat.

2. Size up, Not Down

If you measure your head and the measurement comes out in between numbers, it's a good idea to round up to the next 1/8 inch. It might not seem like a lot of variation, but every fraction of an inch can make a big difference when it comes to a comfortable hat. 

Sizing down may result in a hat that's too tight. We recommend sizing up because you can always size your hat back down using our Hat Sizing Tape , which you can find on our website. It's important for a hat to fit securely, but there's a difference between a secure fit and a fit that leaves you uncomfortable. 

3. Don't Pull the String Tight

If you're using a piece of string or a flexible measuring tape to measure, avoid pulling it too tight once it's wrapped around your head. You don't want it so loose that it's hanging down, but pulling it too tight can also alter your measurements and lead to incorrect sizing. 

A good rule of thumb is to pull the string as tight as you'd want the hat to feel resting around your head. Remember that some hats should fit more loosely than others, so factor that into how tight you pull the string, too.

4. Expect Differences Between Manufacturers

Each hat is as unique as the manufacturer that creates it. Unfortunately, while there is an industry standard for hat sizing, manufacturing inconsistencies and supplier variations occur. This is why it's always important to measure and consult the retailer's sizing chart before you purchase a hat. 

Relying on the sizing chart for the company that made the hat is the best way to ensure a good fit every time. If you fall in between sizes, or you aren't sure how to read the retailer's chart, contact them for help. Hats Unlimited will also gladly double-check the size of a particular style for you. For help, simply reach out to us through email at [email protected] or by phone at 888-997-4287 .

5. Sizing Depends on the Style You Choose

Certain styles of hats are meant to be worn differently. Some hats should fit snugly against your head, while others should be a bit loose. Consider the fit and feel of the hat when you're looking at what size to order. In some cases, this could mean going with a size that's a little bit different than the measurements you took. If you aren't sure, it's a good idea to consult the retailer for advice on sizing.

Common Questions About Hat Sizes

As you measure your head, it's normal to have questions.  We've been in the hat business for a long time, so we're familiar with common questions people have when they're trying to size themselves for a hat. Consider some of the following:

1. What Does "One Size Fits Most" Mean?

Women's hats are often sized as a one size fits most hat. This means that there aren't individual sizes, such as S-XL or a numerical equivalent. Instead, these hats are designed to adapt to a range of head circumferences. Some designs may also come with features such as an adjustable band. 

To ensure a one size fits most hat will fit you, measure the circumference of your head, then compare it with the measurements of the hat you're considering. If the measurements aren't listed with the product information, you can ask us to measure the hat for you.

In some cases, men's hats may also be sized as a one size fits most. Similar to women's hats, this simply means the hat is designed to fit a range of head sizes and may come with features, such as an elasticized sweatband, to make it more flexible for a wider range of sizes.

2. What's the Average Hat Size for Men and Women?

The average head circumference for adults falls between 53 centimeters and 58 centimeters. On average, a man's hat size will be approximately 59 centimeters, while a woman's average hat size will be 57 centimeters. While it's helpful to know the average hat size, be wary of using this size to determine your own measurements.

Remember that an average is a number that is derived from small, medium and large measurements. It does not reflect the size of the entire population, nor does it account for the variations in fit and feel among different hats. 

The only way to ensure an accurate fit when you purchase a hat is to measure your head's circumference and compare it to the available sizes.

3. Can I Guess My Size if I Don't Have a Measuring Tape Handy? 

If you've purchased a hat from the same company before, you might be able to take a guess or rely on past measurements to determine what size to buy. However, if you're buying a hat from a different retailer or a different type of hat than what you've purchased previously, beware of making a sizing guess.

Hats are like clothing in that every brand has a slight variation in sizing, and a small miscalculation can make the difference between a perfect fit and a poor one. Even if you don't have access to a measuring tape, most people can find some string and a ruler lying around the house. 

Gather these items and use them to take accurate measurements prior to making a purchase. Or, if you're debating a purchase in the store, ask a member of the sales staff for help in sizing. 

4. What if I Can't Find My Hat Size?

Most men and women fall somewhere on the hat sizing chart. If you're getting a number that seems off, first make sure your tape measure is correct and isn't twisted. Try measuring again.

If your head is indeed significantly larger or smaller, you may wish to find a hat in the closest size and with an adjustable band or drawstring so you can make the hat fit better. You may also try different manufacturers and styles of hats. Some may fit better, even if you're an atypical size. 

Find the Right Hat for Your Face Shape

It's important to find the right fit, but don't stop there. You can also  find the right hat for your face shape . The perfect hat for you depends on whether you're rocking a round face, heart-shaped face or a long face. Have a diamond or square-shaped face? We've got hats for that too. 

In general, you will want to use these tips to get the right fit for your face shape:

• If your face is long, look for wide brims and brims that cut across the forehead.
• If your face is round, look for angled elements in your hats and hats that reveal more of your face.
• If you have a square-shaped face, floppy hats and wide, straight brims can look very flattering.
• If you have a heart-shaped face, look for hats that aren't too narrow at the crown.
• If you have a diamond face, look for hats that can sit at the back of the head.

While these are good guidelines, don't get too caught up in rules.  Ultimately, the key to finding and rocking the perfect hat is confidence. There's no greater feeling than wearing a beautiful hat that feels like it was made for you. That's exactly what you can achieve when you pick the right hat and fit.

What is a Dropship Item?

Many of our items on the website are "Dropship Items" and we understand this can be confusing to the customer. A Dropship item is something we do not keep a physical inventory of in any of our warehouses or stores; These items are handled, picked and shipped directly from the manufacturer. This does not allow us to process and ship the order based on our time standards and are, instead, up to the mercy of the Dropship company. With over 4,000 unique styles all of which feature different sizes and colors it would be close to impossible for Hats Unlimited to keep physical stock to allow for the most comprehensive catalog on the internet.  Dropship items are annotated with a "DS" in the SKU of the item to indicate to both us and the customer that the item is handled by the manufacturer. The availability of the item also indicates the typical turn around time based off the manufacturer, most manufacturers ship the item the same day it is ordered, however there are some that can take up two weeks to get the item to the customer. Please keep this in mind when placing your order and selecting your shipping options. If you need a dropship item expedited, a call will need to be placed to our customer service line at 888-997-4287 and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Factors to Consider When Selecting a Winter Hat in Russia

When it comes to finding the ideal winter hat in Russia, insulation and warmth should be given top consideration. Russian winters can be brutally cold so finding something that will protect both head and ears from this harsh temperature is paramount.

Insulation and Warmth

Tips for Caring and Maintaining Russian Winter Hats

Maintaining and caring for Russian winter hats takes effort, but the reward can be great. Cleaning is essential; depending on its material, hand washing or spot cleaning might be required depending on its age or material. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions in order to protect the hat’s durability.

Once cleaned, properly storing your winter hat is an integral step. Select a cool and dry location away from direct sunlight and moisture; prevent folding or squashing as this could distort its shape over time.

As well as regular cleaning and storage, occasional maintenance may also be required for optimal hat care. If any loose threads or minor damage is noticed, take immediate steps to stop further wear-and-tear. Fabric glue or needlework techniques such as sewing or darning might help address minor repairs on their own; but for larger restoration efforts or extensive repairs it’s wiser to contact professionals specializing in hat care services for assistance.

Before putting away, after cleaning and drying thoroughly, make sure that your hat is thoroughly air dried before storing it away to help avoid mold or mildew growth. It’s recommended to choose a cool and dry area away from direct sunlight or excess moisture, with ventilation. A breathable storage bag or box would protect from dust while providing adequate ventilation – use these options accordingly for best results!

Proper care and storage will keep your Russian winter hat looking its best for years! In addition, doing this will also increase its durability over time!

The Oakley Review - Apparel The Oakley Review - Apparel The Oakley Review - Apparel Anyone got any for sale?  

Check EBay for the Moscow hat. I think I saw one on their the other day.  

Oooh. That's a first gen one right? I was hoping for the skull one but that one would do, I think.  

Were you the winning bidder?  

Nope, I overslept. LOL It's okay though. It was something that would've been cool to have but not absolutely needed. Especially since I like the skull one better. Hopefully one will turn up sometime.  

Ha! That has happened to me. I stay up late waiting for a bid to nearly end. The next thing I know....I wake up reclined on the couch with my laptop "hibernating" while on my chest, and the bid ended an hour or two ago.  

Yeah if it were the beanie or the helmet I would've made sure I had sirens going off before the auctions ended. LOL
