Resistol Hats

Where the tape goes

Use a cloth tape, or a piece of string you can lay against a ruler afterwards. In Resistol’s words, “keep the tape level and snug without pulling it too tightly.” Measure twice.

How Resistol hats are sized here

Between sizes

Resistol say to go up: “If your measurement falls between sizes, it’s generally best to size up and choose the larger size. A slightly larger hat can be adjusted with sizing tape or stuffing materials, like paper towels, while a hat that’s too small may become uncomfortable over time.” We agree — a strip of sizing tape behind the sweatband closes a gap, and nothing fixes a hat that is too small.

Resistol publish their size conversion as a picture rather than as figures, so we have not retyped it — we will not print numbers we cannot read off their own page and stand behind. For a conversion table in plain text, hat size to inches to centimetres, see our hat sizing guide. Those figures are the ones Stetson publish, so remember the measuring difference above before you read off a size.

Come get measured

We keep a proper conformateur behind the counter, and we will steam and shape a hat to your head while you wait. Ten minutes, and it is the difference between a hat you wear and a hat that sits on a shelf.
