Finding the Perfect Fit: A Guide to Snapback and Straw Hat Sizing for Babies, Toddlers & Kids

Choosing the right hat size for your child can sometimes feel like a guessing game, especially when they're growing so quickly! At First Mate, we've simplified the process with our comprehensive size guide for snapbacks, straw hats and sunglasses. Whether you're shopping for your little one or looking for a thoughtful gift, understanding the sizing details ensures a comfortable and stylish fit every time. Please measure circumference of your child's head to find the perfect size. We always recommend to size up if unsure and to give your child room to grow. 

Snapback Sizing:
Our snapbacks are designed to align perfectly with your child's age, making it easy to find the ideal fit:

Small (44 - 48 cm): Ideal for ages 0 to 18 months old. 

Medium (48 - 50 cm): Suitable for ages 1 to 2 years old. 

Large (50 - 54 cm): Designed for ages 3 to 6 years old. 


To ensure the best fit, we recommend measuring your child's head circumference and referring to our size guide. Our snapbacks are crafted with comfort and style in mind. Our snapbacks feature adjustable backs for a secure fit, please note that the bill and front panels are not adjustable.

Straw Hat Sizing:
Our Straw Hats are crafted with the same attention to detail and comfort as our snapbacks, tailored to your child's age and head circumference. These straw hats run slightly larger due to the straw material being more malleable. 

Small (44 - 48 cm): Ideal for ages 0 to 18 months old. 

Medium (48 - 52 cm): Suitable for ages 1 to 2 years old. 

Large (52 -56 cm): Designed for ages 3 to 8 years old. 

Please keep in mind that our Straw Hats are made from 100% natural straw, which requires gentle care. Avoid bending or smashing the hat, as dried straw can break easily. If the hat gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally to maintain its quality.
