FINDING YOUR SIZE
Our Sunbodies are Guatemalan hats, which have a foam-padded cotton twill sweatband that tends to shrink about 1% with heat and moisture. This is about 1/2 of a hat size (1/16" diameter). We recommend buying a Sunbody that is just a little bit loose to allow for this shrinkage. This usually means buying one size larger than you normally wear.
When checking the size of hats, Sunbody's criterion is that a hat should be at least the size marked on the label. That is, a 7-1/8 should be AT LEAST a 7-1/8 but not as large as a 7-1/4. Sizing will vary slightly, due to the handmade nature of the hats.
To Determine Your Hat Size:
- Measure around your head where you wear your hats in inches (circumference). Use a soft tailor's tape or a piece of string, making sure not to pull tighter than you would like your hat to fit.
- Use the following chart to determine your hat size:
| Head Circumference | Normal Hat Size | Recommended Sunbody Hat Size |
|---|---|---|
| 21" to 21-3/8" | 6 3/4 | 6 7/8 |
| 21-3/8" to 21-3/4" | 6 7/8 | 7 |
| 21-3/4" to 22-1/4" | 7 | 7 1/8 |
| 22-1/4" to 22-5/8" | 7 1/8 | 7 1/4 |
| 22-5/8" to 23" | 7 1/4 | 7 3/8 |
| 23" to 23-3/8" | 7 3/8 | 7 1/2 |
| 23-3/8" to 23-3/4" | 7 1/2 | 7 5/8 |
