Common Questions

Graduation Cap Size Calculator — FAQ

How should I measure head circumference?
Wrap a soft tape measure around the head at its widest point — roughly one inch above the eyebrows and ears, around the back of the head. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
How is the standard size (S/M/L/XL) determined?
The calculator maps your head circumference to standard graduation cap size bands (XS through XXL), each covering a roughly 1.5 cm range, and adjusts the boundary slightly based on your fit preference.
What does 'fit preference' change?
Snug shifts you toward the smaller end of your size band, loose shifts you toward the larger end, and standard uses the center of the band — useful when your measurement falls near a size boundary.
What does the AI fit troubleshooting feature do?
For measurements that land near a size boundary, it generates specific tips — such as accounting for thick hair, an oval vs. round head shape, or using the cap's adjustable band.
