UK and US hat sizes are both based on head measurements, so once you know your head circumference you can read either label from the chart. The small differences between the two systems come from how each rounds the head diameter to a printable number, not from any real difference in fit.
If your head circumference sits between two rows, round up, particularly for a structured or fitted hat. To measure accurately, see how to measure hat size.
Common questions
How do I convert a UK hat size to US?
Find your UK size in the chart and read across to the US column, or use the converter above. Both map to the same head circumference, so the conversion is exact.
Is a UK hat size the same as US?
The numbers differ slightly because UK and US round the head diameter differently, but they describe the same head circumference. The chart lines them up precisely.
What if I am between two hat sizes?
Round up for comfort, especially for fitted caps that do not stretch much.
