Basically, hat should fit snug around your head (sitting about mid forehead and a little lower in the back) but not so tight that you're going to want to take it off after wearing it because it gives you a headache. If that happens, then your hat may be just a tad too small. One way to do this.. use your finger and poke at the front of the hat. You should be able to poke gently at the hat and it should stay on your head without flying off. If it comes off easy, then you know that your hat may be a tad too big. And you can place something inside the sweatband to size it down to your head shape. Custom hat fitters (shapers) can also steam the hat crown and brim and shape it a little differently so it can fit to your head shape.

Will this work to properly fit a sombrero?
