![]() ![]() Thank you for reading.There’s more to choosing a hat than grabbing one off the shelf. Pick a hat according to these results not by the size of your previous kids hats.Use a flexible measuring tape, keeping it as tight as possible while not squeezing the head.If hair is thick or braided, take that into account. Measure straight around the head from its widest angle. ![]() There are a few key elements to consider in order to get it right: While the shape of one’s head is a new factor to choosing hats, the circumference has always been key. Balaclavas suit all head shapes equally well, so do beach hats and all their equals.Peaked kids hats (like BO, SUN and MO) are made for rounder heads.Baggy hats (like KLAUS and DIRK) work better on cylinder shaped heads.There were summer beanies, double-cotton spring hats, winter hat-scarves…you name it! We tried them all on, took pictures, examined the fitting and the results were the following: To verify this theory we conducted “human trials” involving 4 kids with the same head circumference, but different head shapes and a huge pile of hats. There’s one more problem Breden is constantly trying to solve – how to make hats that are suitable for all heads? That got us thinking: maybe we should consider the shape of the head instead of its circumference? While searching proof for this theory we discovered that heads can generally be divided into 4 types: round, cylinder, irregular and big hair. To learn more about choosing hats, be sure to click on “Size tips” and if you save your measurements, you can also create as many Sizebay profiles as you want.If you know the head circumference, simply click “Find out your size”, select the number and get your size recommendation.And if you click on the little cute ruler you can even print out a measuring gadget. If you don’t know the head circumference, click “Find your measurements” and you’ll see the age and head size ratio that applies in most cases.Sizebay is a virtual “fitting room” tool that helps you make the best hat size decision according to your needs – whether it be a hat for you baby, toddler or yourself. To solve this problem, we’ve upgraded our size chart by adding sizes 50/51, 52/53 and 54/55 to the mix. ![]() 53/55 hats are meant to fit head with a circumference of 55cm and that means this hat will be completely useless for years to come. A 6-year-old with the head circumference of 52 cm gets a 53/55 hat because parents think that 50/52 is already too small. Since the kid is at the beginning of his or her size there will be plenty of room to grow without the hat being too large to begin with. A 3-year-old with the head circumference of 50.5 cm gets a 50/52 sized hat. But there are some things you should take into account so let’s take a look at a few case studies: And that means a 50/52 hat or balaclava fits perfectly for several years. But their heads do not! In fact, most kids between the age of 1.5 and 5 years have more or less the same head circumference of approximately 50 to 52 cm. So, let’s get it right once and for all! SIZE DOES INDEED MATTER…Ĭhildren grow fast, we get it. Hats and balaclavas have to be as close to the real head circumference as possible, which might cause some confusion because most Breden hats are double-sized. Unfortunately the same logic does NOT apply to headwear. Parents often buy clothes with a bit of “room to spare” with the intention of making garments last as long as possible. ![]()
