See the beanie here

I emailed the site to ask if there are sizing guides based on the circumference of the head, of which they just came back and said that there isn't and it should be pretty true to size.

Except I have no idea whether my head is a small or a medium (i don't think its a large nor an extra-large!) and I don't want to order the wrong one!

Any one got any ideas or know roughly head sizes for hat sizes (if that makes sense!)

Ta,
Lottie,

The standard hat measurements are: S: 52/53cm, M: 55-56cm L:59-60cm

To measure: take a flexibile measuring tape (the type used by seamstresses, not the metal ones used to measure photoframes) and wrap it around your head across the temples, under the top ear flap and over the bump at the back of your head above the hollow that leads to your spine. That is where a hat "should" sit and how the measurements are done for manufacturing & sizing.

If you don't have a flexible tape, use a piece of string and wrap it around the same parts of your head and measure the string afterwards.
