How Should a Wide Brim Hat Fit?

A wide brim hat should fit slightly snug on your head above your ears and eyebrows. To test the fit of your hat, simply put your finger in between your head and hat. If you’re able to fit your finger without any tension, then you have a good fit. Most importantly, you should be able to comfortably wear your hat all day.
