Finding the right cap fit is just as important as finding the right style. A well-fitted cap looks sharp, feels comfortable, and stays in place all day. Here's your complete guide to finding your perfect New Era cap fit.

Step 1: Measure Your Head

Use a soft measuring tape to measure the circumference of your head, about 1 cm above your ears and across your forehead. This measurement (in centimeters or inches) will correspond to your cap size. If you don't have a measuring tape, a strip of paper or string works just as well — then measure it against a ruler.

Step 2: Understand New Era's Sizing

New Era caps come in several sizing systems:

• Fitted (59FIFTY): Sized by head circumference in inches (e.g., 7, 7 1/8, 7 1/4). These offer the most precise fit.
• Snapback (9FIFTY): One size fits most, with an adjustable snap closure at the back.
• Adjustable (9FORTY, 9TWENTY): Features a velcro or strapback closure for a flexible fit.
• Stretch Fit (39THIRTY): Available in S/M and L/XL, with a stretchy band for a comfortable fit.

Step 3: Try It On

When trying on a fitted cap, it should sit comfortably on your head without feeling too tight or too loose. You should be able to fit one finger between the cap and your forehead. The brim should sit level, about 1-2 finger widths above your eyebrows.

Step 4: Consider Your Head Shape

New Era caps are designed to accommodate different head shapes. If you have a rounder head, you may find fitted caps more comfortable. If your head is more oval-shaped, adjustable styles may offer a better fit.

Pro Tips

• If you're between sizes, size up for a more relaxed fit or size down for a snug fit.
• New Era caps may feel slightly stiff when new — they'll soften and mold to your head over time.
• Store your caps on a cap rack or in a box to maintain their shape.
