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, and adjusting the size with the included additional foam strip. This usually means buying one to two sizes larger than you normally wear as you'll see within our sizing chart below.
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. If you are on the edge or unsure of which to order, size up.
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 7/8-7 |
| 21-3/8" to 21-3/4" | 6 7/8 | 7 - 7 1/8 |
| 21-3/4" to 22-1/4" | 7 | 7 1/8 - 7 1/4 |
| 22-1/4" to 22-5/8" | 7 1/8 | 7 1/4 - 7 3/8 |
| 22-5/8" to 23" | 7 1/4 | 7 3/8 - 7 1/2 |
| 23" to 23-3/8" | 7 3/8 | 7 1/2 - 7 5/8 |
| 23-3/8" to 23-3/4" | 7 1/2 | 7 5/8 |
WET IT. SHAPE IT. LOVE IT.
The beauty of a Sunbody hat is that it can be shaped to any style you like, making it a versatile option for men and women alike. Whether you want a buckaroo flat brim, a cattleman's crown, or something in between, you can shape it yourself to your liking. All you need is a little water!
