SUGGESTED MARGINS WHEN MEASURING FOR YOUR STETSON
(YOU WANT THE LARGEST PART OF THE HEAD).
1) USING A SOFT MEASURING TAPE, START BETWEEN THE EYEBROWS WITH APPROXIMATELY ½ INCH ABOVE THE BROW BONE (That's the width of a finger, palm side down).
2) THE MARGIN ABOVE THE TIP OF EACH EAR SHOULD ALSO BE APPROXIMATELY ½ INCH.
3) THE TAPE SHOULD GO DIRECTLY OVER THE PEAK OF THE LARGE “BUMP” IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.
4) WHEN THE MEASURING TAPE IS AROUND YOUR HEAD, YOU WANT IT TO FEEL LIKE THE MEASURING TAPE IS YOUR STETSON. IT IS RESTING WHERE, AND HOW SNUG YOU WANT YOUR STETSON TO FIT.
THE STETSON IS AUTHORIZED, NOT REGULATED HEADWEAR. CHECK WITH YOUR UNIT FOR GUIDANCE ON HOW THEY WEAR THEIR STETSON.

Using a soft measuring tape, start between the eyebrows approximately 1/2 inch above the brow bone.
The margin above the tip of each ear should also be approximately 1/2 inch.
The tape should go over the peak of the bump in the back of the head.
