Find Your Fit – Cowboy Hat Guide
Why Fit Matters
Anyone can sell you a cowboy hat in your size. Not everyone can get you a hat that actually feels right. At Gone Country, we know that a size tag isn’t the full story—every head is a little different, and every hat style fits a little differently, too.
Size ≠ Shape: The Truth Most Hat Companies Ignore
Here's what most folks (and brands) won't tell you:
- Hats are made on molds called “blocks,” and not all blocks are the same shape.
- Some hats fit round heads best, some are made for longer ovals, and some work for just about everyone.
- You might be a size 7 1/4, but if you grab two different hats in that size, they can still feel totally different.
How Do You Know Your Shape?
-
Tried hats before and they pinch at the sides?
You're probably a long oval.
-
Hats tight front-to-back?
Likely a round oval.
-
No issues?
You're probably a regular oval, lucky you.
Not sure? Text us a quick selfie in a hat you own, or even without one. Our team will help you figure it out, fast.
