I have the L/XL, although a little big, is comfortable. I'd send it back and opt for another brand. However, I've found that no two hats fit the same. Order another one, see what happens.

My hat is a S/M and fits great. I notice amazon is only listing Small and L/XL. I'd check with them and see if the Small isn't actually a s/m.

Not sure what to do on that outside of buying a large and putting material inside the inner band of the hat.

i don't know. i sent the hat back because it is not pocket size and it does not uncurl properly.

I took a soft measuring tape and measured around my head at the forehead. Then I went on line and googled women's hat sizes to see if I was a medium etc. You can be a bit off as this style hat has a draw to tighten it up a bit.

I recommend getting one size smaller than you normally wear. It really needs to be snug.

The headgear uses Velcro to adjust size but it appears to be size large.I have to use it with Velcro as small as possible.

Sorry Maurice, misinformed I bought a men´s hat because they told me they were identical to the former women´s hats, but they aren´t. It might fit, for me it was big, a great loss of money because I bought two. The company does not explain very much.

There is an accurate and convenient hat size chart on there website Orr google Tilley hat chart and it converts the size if your head in inches to their recommendation of comfortable hat size. Very easy to follow!

I found the large to be too large. Would agree with the advice to refer to the fitting guide on the tilley page. Love the hat!

The head band was to small for my head. My hat size is 7 and 5/8ths. I brought it to the attendion of the vendor, and they send me a new one. Problem is it is the same size. It can only be adjusted smaller. Problem is it is too small to begin with.

Yes. There is an adjustable piece inside the hat so it can be adjusted to different sizes.

I have an average size head and got a small- only size available at time of order- and while it is snug, I would say that is preferable to being too loose. also, it will over time somewhat stretch. also consider its use- if it is to protect during vigorous contact, such as cane fighting, you definitely want it snug, not loose. realize this isn't a definitive answer, but small/medium I would try small. you can always exchange and prime shipping was very prompt.

there is an adjustable headband - as I needed an XXL size I removed the headband and was able to get a perfect fit. I now sits on my head like any other hat.

This hat is not sized for children. There is a similar "play" hat that has children's sizes. The size chart is pretty specific to your question.

I bought this hat for my grandpa who complains he can't find hats small enough for his head. If I recall he was in the mid 50's cm. I also may have google Columbia hat size guide

It may be a bit big, but you could probably adapt it by adding some elastic or velcro. Of course it depends on the child's head size.

I didn't have trouble... I actually have a small head (I know, weird... but I buy my hats in the youth section), but I didn't find it a problem. My husband has the mens' version of this, and he has a large head (wears 8 1/4" baseball cap) and he didn't have any trouble. I think that the material must stretch enough that it isn't a problem.

The hat is a great hat. If I'm not mistaken you can adjust the size even with someone with a large head. My wife has very thick hair and it fits her fine.
