Kakobuy Spreadsheet Caps, Hats & Beanies

Measure where you want the hat to sit

The brown cap lists options such as “58.7cm（73/8码）,” while the black patch trucker cap is marked adjustable. Neither option tells you the crown depth. Check both the opening size and the shape above it.

1. Measure around the intended wearing line. Run a flexible tape around your head above the ears and across the part of your forehead where the hat will sit. Keep it level and comfortably in contact, without pulling it tight. Repeat and record the measurement in centimetres.
2. Use that listing’s size chart. Compare your measurement with the seller’s stated range. For a sized cap, confirm the marked size and inner circumference. For an adjustable cap, ask for the smallest and largest usable settings; “adjustable” does not state those limits.
3. Compare crown depth with a hat that sits well. Ask how the seller measures depth, then use the same inside start and end points on your reference hat. Matching circumference alone will not tell you whether the crown reaches your ears or sits higher.
4. Keep the brim shape in the comparison. Ask for a level front and side view. If you want a flatter or more curved brim, choose an option already showing that shape rather than assuming the material can safely be reshaped.

For beanies, keep the fold and stretch consistent

The light Carhartt beanie and navy Lacoste beanie both show folded cuffs, but the visible cuff and crown proportions differ. Decide how much fabric you want above the fold and how low you want the edge to sit.

Lay a similar beanie flat without stretching it, set the cuff at your usual fold, then measure the opening width and the height from its lower edge to the crown. Request the same measurements for the option you want. Doubling a flat width describes an unstretched opening, not the full range of heads it will fit comfortably.
