Choosing the Right Hat Block Size
Not sure where to start? Don't worry, we've all been there! The most important thing is to get an accurate head measurement. Grab a soft measuring tape and wrap it around your head, just above your ears and across your forehead. Keep the tape snug but not too tight. This measurement in centimetres will correspond directly to the hat block size you need. Remember, it's always better to err on the slightly larger side, as you can always pad the hat for a more snug fit.
