Conformateur
When ordering a hat, remember to specify your head size. We recommend that you take a conformateur, a special head measurement that is taken by a hat maker. You can do this in selected cities:
Cities where you can take a conformateur
If you are unable to take a conformateur you can take the hat measurement yourself according to the instructions below.

Ordering a doctoral hat
If you want to order a hat, please contact Hattmakarna in order to discuss a date for delivery.
Taking hat measurements of your own
If you are not able to take a conformateur, you can take the measure according to the following instructions. Ask for help because it can be difficult to get the exact head size if you do it yourself.
Take measurements with tape measure (in cm scale) + photo
- Place the lower edge of the tape measure against the highest point of your eyebrow. Then move the tape measure to the pointed point of the rear head.
- Proceed to the highest point of the second eyebrow.
- Finish when the tape measure meets at the end.
- The tape measure must now be in a horizontal line around your head.
- Keep the tape measure tight and drop a little so that it does not slip too tight, but not too loose so that it falls down on the ears. Read the tape measure to see your head size.
Take the measure 3 times so you are sure it will be correct.
• When ordering, we would also like to ask you to attach two photos of yourself. One photo taken from the front and the other photo taken in profile. The images help the hat makers to get an idea of your head shape.
