Headgear size: table for adults, how to determine for men and women

International hat size chart

Dimensional grids contain data on the parameters of caps and hats. Special size tables are compiled for adults and children. In addition, due to the physiological characteristics of the skull of men and women, each gender has its own table.

International grids use several designations:

Russian;
European;
American

The difference is that on domestic products the head parameters are measured in centimeters, and on imported products - in inches. Opposite the domestic indicator is the foreign analogue.

You can accurately determine which foreign-made hat or cap you need to buy if you know the circumference of your head in centimeters and its compliance with domestic standards.

how to measure head circumference correctly

Hello my beauties!!!

Here's a great article on ideal weight formulas.

When working on our body, we all strive for the ideal, although we do not always understand well where it is - this very ideal. Some are guided, as if by a holy truth, by someone proclaimed “90-60-90” and do not take into account their height and body features. For others, the ideal is hidden in their favorite old jeans, bought before the birth of their first child. In fact, the ideal figure is the figure of a healthy person, which does not pose any danger to his well-being. How to find this ideal? There are many formulas for this. Let's try to figure out this fitness arithmetic. When playing the game of losing weight, it is very easy to get carried away and start striving for indicators on the scale that will be dangerous to your health. There is also the opposite option - considering your figure to be normal and harmonious, you can gain excess weight and move out of the “healthy” range in the other direction. Let's figure out how to maintain the perfect balance between beauty and health. The simplest and therefore most common formula for determining your ideal weight looks like this: subtract 110 from your height in centimeters and get your ideal weight in kilograms. However, many experts believe that this formula can only be used by tall girls, at least 175 cm tall. For girls with a height of 165-174 cm, it is recommended to subtract 105 from their height, for those who are even shorter - 100. In this case, one more important indicator must be taken into account – body type . It can be asthenic, normosthenic and hypersthenic. In the first case we are talking about tall and naturally thin people, with thin, light bones, in the latter - about short and stocky girls, distinguished by wide and heavy bones. Normosthenics, accordingly, are in the middle between these categories. It is clear that a hypersthenic person, no matter how hard you try, will weigh more than an asthenic person of the same height. Therefore, it is proposed to add 10% to the above formula for hyposthenics, and for asthenics to subtract 10% from their result. It is believed that in this way a person’s ideal, healthy weight is calculated - without extra pounds, but also without excessive thinness. But first you need to understand what body type your figure belongs to. In addition to the eternal method of “determining by eye,” there is also a formula here: you need to measure an unusual place on the body - your own wrist. It is believed that if the thinnest part of a girl’s arm is less than 15 cm in circumference, she belongs to an asthenic body type; 15-17 cm are usually found in normosthenics, more than 17 – in hypersthenics. Some experts advise taking into account the person's age when calculating the ideal weight. To do this, you need to add half a kilo to the result obtained for each year of life after 25 years, however, no more than 7 kg in total. However, it is clear that ideal weight is not a mark on the scale accurate to the gram, but a certain range. Your body mass index will help you understand how healthy your weight is. It is calculated this way: divide body weight in kilograms by height in meters squared. That is, if you are, say, 175 cm tall and weigh 65, BMI is calculated as follows: 1.75*1.75=3.0625; If you divide 65 by 3.0625 you get approximately 21.2. So, everything is fine with you. A normal body mass index is considered to be between 19 and 26. Numbers below 19 indicate underweight, and above 26 indicate overweight. But it often turns out that according to all the formulas, our weight turns out to be ideal, and our body mass index is within the given limits, but we still desperately don’t like the reflection in the mirror. This may be due to sagging, untrained muscles and excess fat deposits. Diets cannot save the situation here: you need to develop and develop muscles. Fat tissue will gradually be converted into muscle tissue, the figure will become more beautiful and fit, and the weight will not seriously decrease (and maybe even increase, because muscles weigh more than fat). Well, now more about ways to combat excess weight, if any. Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is the terrible word diet . However, few people think about what kind of animal this really is, because the idea of a diet as a hunger strike, deprivation, torment and willpower has long been ingrained in everyone’s brain. I will deliberately not talk about diets in this post, much less recommend them to you, because, firstly, I am categorically against diets, and, secondly, only a nutritionist after tests can choose a diet just for you ! Wikipedia tells us that a diet is a set of rules for eating food by a person or other living organism. Diet can be characterized by factors such as chemical composition, physical properties, culinary processing of food, and the timing and intervals of food intake. The diets of different cultures may vary significantly and include or exclude specific foods. Dietary preferences and dietary choices affect a person's health. That is, diet is a very global concept, it is not a short-term deprivation of your favorite food, it is a way of life. With this interpretation of the word, it becomes no longer so scary. Common sense is important in everything. Diet and lifestyle are important. If you follow some rules and choose the right lifestyle, extra pounds will never bother you again. We will not delve into topics such as vegetarianism, raw food diet, etc. and so on. I would like you to take note of the basics of proper nutrition, a proper diet, which will help you not only lose and maintain weight, but also improve your overall health and have a beneficial effect on the appearance of your skin, hair and nails. 1. Have a hearty breakfast During the cold season, the body requires more calories. And to protect yourself from hunger pangs, learn to eat breakfast properly. Don't try to skip your morning meal - during the day you will want to eat three times more than if you had breakfast. Nutritionists are sure that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After all, it is she who awakens the metabolism and gives energy for the whole day. Ideally, in autumn and winter, breakfast should be hot: it will be much warmer for you to get to the parking lot or public transport stop. But this does not mean that after this post you can, with a clear conscience, cut yourself sandwiches and snack on cookies! Eat cottage cheese, porridge, nuts, fruits, natural yoghurts, boiled eggs for breakfast... 2. Drink water When talking about losing weight or stabilizing weight, we cannot help but mention drinking clean drinking water. It is she who removes harmful toxins from the body and participates in the processes of fat dissolution. Without water, alas, it is unlikely that you will be able to lose weight seriously and for a long time. Learn to drink at least 2 liters a day, and within a month you will notice positive changes in the scale value. Of course, you shouldn’t drink a bottle of mineral water before leaving the house, but in the office, try to drink a glass of cool liquid per hour. 3. Eliminate hidden calories Before adding supposedly “diet” cottage cheese or yogurt to your food basket, carefully study the packaging and pay attention to the calorie content. Often it exceeds the permissible limit. The deceptive maneuver of manufacturers is to reduce the fat content of the product and replace regular sugar with harmful sweeteners. If you really want to purchase a dietary product, choose foods labeled “low-calorie” rather than “low-fat.” 4. Love vegetables If you want to eat on a subconscious level, but in reality it looks something like this: “I want a chocolate bar, a cake, a sausage sandwich...”, try deceiving your psychological hunger and eat some sweet vegetable instead of unhealthy baked goods. Let it be bell peppers, carrots, peas. True, beets are not good - they have too much sugar, and this fact makes them similar to sweet fruits, so rich in fructose, which provokes surges in blood glucose. Sweet vegetables are not so rich in simple carbohydrates and are absorbed much more harmoniously. 5. Love cooking If you still eat monotonously, it's time to change tactics. Even from the simplest dietary products you can create a culinary masterpiece. Prepare new dishes more often and try them in small portions. This technique will make it easy to deceive your appetite. After all, you eat delicious and varied dishes. Pay attention to Mediterranean and Italian cuisines with an abundance of vegetables, fish and seafood. 6. Cook correctly A lot depends on the method of cooking. If you are on a strict diet, for example, you can eat steamed or grilled foods. Stewing or baking often involves adding fat. And there is no need for extra calories in the fight for a slim figure. Even outside of the diet, try to cook correctly - this healthy habit will definitely affect not only your body, but also your skin - it will become smoother and more youthful. Give up cutlets dripping with oil, fried vegetables in soups, get yourself a slow cooker - it will help you eat deliciously and at the same time lose weight! 7. Don’t deprive yourself of dessert Dessert while on a diet is possible! Just choose less harmful sweets. Replace chocolate, pastries and rich ice cream with fruit and berry parfaits, soufflés and sorbets. Marmalade, marshmallows and marshmallows without chocolate also do not contain fat and are a safer alternative to chocolate. Well, and, of course, don’t forget about fresh fruits and berries. 8. Love herbs All kinds of spices and aromatic herbs are easy ways to replace salt: they have a distinct taste, make food spicy and appetizing. In addition, some spices, such as curry, garlic, onion, tarragon, parsley, chili pepper and ginger, can speed up metabolism and help break down fats. Green tea is a very healthy drink, but nutritionists do not recommend drinking more than 3 cups a day. Replace it with equally useful infusions of medicinal herbs - mint, chamomile or lemon balm. They can be drunk almost without restrictions, as well as rooibos and ginger tea with lemon. 9. Avoid nasty things: different types of sauces -

mayonnaise, ketchup, sausage, frankfurters and other abominations! It is very easy to replace mayonnaise with sour cream or sour cream with mustard. And there is nothing tastier and healthier than just a boiled piece of meat! Girls, believe me, if you just don’t eat mayonnaise, sausage and fried food, you will be as slim as a cypress tree! In just a month you will see amazing results! Well, there is no meat in our sausage and any sausage products! Dishes cooked steamed or in the oven are no less tasty! On the contrary, they even look more sophisticated! 10. Do not eat less than 3 hours before bedtime. Here's the food pyramid for you!

I would like to give a personal example. After giving birth, I lost the 20 kg I had gained during B + 6 kg on top. I was slimmer and more perfect than any model. And all because I went on a diet in connection with my daughter’s rash, eliminating all harmful foods, sweets, drinking a lot of fluids, etc.

The second way to bring your weight back to normal is, of course, physical exercise . But how often do we start and not finish the job! Let's figure out why we give up halfway. A clearly defined goal is, as they say, half the success. However, if visually this goal is not approaching in any way, any person can give up and quit an activity that is not bringing results. It’s the same in fitness: people often start playing sports by setting specific goals for themselves (for example, losing weight or building up certain muscles). And if, over time, the arrow of the scales does not rush to the left, and the muscles do not begin to work as we would like, there is a great temptation to give it all up and return to cakes and watching TV series. But this cannot be allowed. You just need to understand why you are unable to achieve your intended results. Usually the reason for fitness failures lies in your own mistakes. Maybe you are doing something wrong, eating something wrong, or thinking about something wrong. Wrong Workout The most common problem is usually that you are not working out at the gym correctly. The training program should correspond to the goals you have set, your age and body condition. For example, in order to pump up muscles you need to do one type of exercise (strength exercises with a lot of weight and a small number of approaches), in order to lose weight - another (in this case, the emphasis is usually on not very heavy exercises with a large number of approaches) . But this rule is not absolutely true - when developing a training program for weight loss, you still cannot completely abandon strength exercises. In addition, it is important to choose the right training intensity. When you exercise on your own, there is always a desire to feel sorry for yourself and stop doing this or that exercise, feeling the slightest fatigue in your muscles. Try to perform the exercises in such a way that the last approaches are truly the last. And keep in mind that the body quickly gets used to stress and needs to be constantly “surprised” with new, more complex tasks. When a newbie comes to the gym, he often lacks a system in his training: he can sit on one machine, go to another, then become interested in something shiny at the end of the room. Such chaotic wandering between simulators is unlikely to bring any noticeable results. And although the training program, as I have already said, should be compiled individually for each person, the general recommendation is that before each workout, make a list of the exercise machines that you must “bypass” today. On each simulator, perform a certain, predetermined number of approaches and repetitions (so as not to exercise until the first fatigue). The workout should consist of a warm-up (10-minute sessions on a cardio machine), a main part, and a cool-down (another 10 minutes of low-intensity exercise). And now regarding the training schedule: you should not exercise rarely, but for a long time. The ideal schedule is 3 times a week. Poor nutrition Eating during sports should also depend on your goals. If you primarily want to lose weight, reduce the number of calories you consume; if you want to strengthen your muscles, do not disdain foods containing protein. If you want both, find a balance between feeding muscle and not feeding fat. Before training, it is recommended to eat foods rich in carbohydrates, for example, baby fruit puree. Under no circumstances should you overeat - the portion should be no more than 100 grams. After strength training (unless, of course, it is late evening) it is advised to eat a small amount of low-fat protein food. Wrong thoughts Yes, yes, when playing sports, it is important not only how you exercise and what you eat, but also what you think about. After all, motivation is one of the most important conditions for successful fitness classes. To begin with, do not set yourself too difficult or impossible tasks. If you decide to lose half the weight in a week, most likely you will not succeed; failure will lead to disappointment and a desire to quit everything. Set simple tasks one after another - completing each of them will bring joy and along them, like on a ladder, you will come to that “most important goal”, because of which everything, in general, was started. The other extreme is lack of faith in one’s own strength. Constantly thinking that you can't do anything will not make your training more effective. You need to study with a positive attitude. Additional weight loss products. Baths for weight loss at home Losing weight is not a quick process and you should not expect instant results. The best results are obtained by the classic complex - diet, light physical activity and, of course, cosmetic procedures. The latter are necessary to keep the skin toned. As you know, the moment subcutaneous fat is lost, the skin sags and loses its elasticity, and stretch marks may appear on it. In addition, baths for weight loss contribute to the weight loss process itself - metabolism improves, the body is cleansed of toxins. And after a course of weight loss baths, the skin becomes soft, smooth and elastic. That is why baths for weight loss are also called “rejuvenating baths.” Queen Cleopatra, known for her beauty and youthfulness, knew about the benefits of baths many centuries ago. First, let's talk about contraindications. Baths for weight loss are contraindicated for people suffering from diseases of the cardiovascular system: during the procedures the load on the heart increases significantly. If you have any chronic diseases, it is better to consult your doctor before using baths. So, now a few general rules: Baths for weight loss are taken while sitting, while in water up to your waist. It is better not to take baths during menstrual periods. Avoid eating an hour before your bath and do not eat for about an hour after your bath. It’s better to drink a fresh herbal tea 15 minutes after swimming. Be sure to rest for at least half an hour after your bath. The water temperature should not exceed 38 degrees. Immediately after your bath, rinse first with a warm shower, then with a cool shower. First rinse your feet, then your hands and only then your whole body. Only a course of home baths for weight loss gives visible results. Ideally, this is 10 days. Below you will find recipes for various bath fillers that will help speed up the process of fat breakdown, detoxification and removal of excess fluid from body tissues. Mustard bath for weight loss You will need a glass of dry fresh mustard and some warm water. Stir the ingredients in a deep bowl until thick sour cream forms. Fill the bathtub with warm water and pour the prepared mixture into it. Take a bath for about 10 minutes. Then rinse off in the shower and rest for half an hour, covered with a blanket. By the way, such a bath helps well at the first signs of a cold or if you are very cold. Cleopatra's bath for weight loss Heat the milk to 40 degrees and dissolve 100 grams of honey in it. Now prepare a body scrub from equal parts of salt and sour cream (150 grams each). Using a scrub, cleanse your body skin and rinse. Now take warm water and pour the prepared milk and honey into the bath. An important point: milk should not be higher than 40 degrees; at higher temperatures, the beneficial properties of honey are lost. Take a milk bath for about 20-25 minutes. After it, you will notice how velvety and soft the skin and droppings will become, which is why Cleopatra loved this bath so much. Soda bath for weight loss Soda baths give very good results. They promote tissue drainage and perfectly cleanse the skin. Mix 200 grams of baking soda and 300 grams of sea salt, pour the mixture into a warm bath. Take a bath for no more than 10 minutes. Then rest under the blanket for about 40 minutes. An important point: you should not eat or drink two hours before and after the bath. Slimming bran bath This bath not only promotes weight loss, but is also considered one of the best rejuvenating baths. Brew 1 kg of bran with 2 liters of milk with the addition of 1 tablespoon of honey. Pour the mixture into the bath. The bathing procedure can last up to half an hour. Afterwards, rinse and rest. Turpentine baths for weight loss Turpentine baths are highly valued by cosmetologists: they not only help get rid of excess weight, but also significantly increase skin elasticity. A special emulsion for preparing turpentine baths at home can be purchased at the pharmacy. The instructions will tell you how to use the composition. However, be careful: choose the emulsion according to your blood pressure type. Yellow turpentine is indicated for hypertensive patients, and white turpentine for hypotensive patients. In addition to beauty benefits, turpentine baths are an excellent way to strengthen the immune system. During the period of autumn colds, it is a good idea to take baths with turpentine emulsion. And of course, don’t forget about baths with the addition of ready-made SPA compositions based on healing mud, sea salt and water, as well as algae extract. To conclude this topic, I would still like to draw your attention to the fact that no figure is worth your health! Do not rush to extremes under any circumstances! Don't starve! Don't exhaust yourself with training, and most importantly, first love yourself for who you are! This will be the first step to success! And, of course, forget about products that supposedly give an immediate effect! Never buy pills (herbs, tinctures, etc.) for weight loss!

SO, THE TASK:

How are you doing with your weight and nutrition?) Tell us your secrets;) Kisses!;)

Custom sizes

The difficulty of choosing arises if a person’s head is not ideally shaped. To find out what domestic size is needed, you need to measure your head. After this, you should select from the table the parameters suitable for the data obtained, determining the value of the domestic and foreign size.

If the size chart does not contain the same data, then you should choose those that differ less from the result obtained.

How to determine head size in adults

Hats are sewn taking into account the circumference of the head. In the standard size chart it is measured in centimeters.

We measure the circumference of the head

To accurately measure your head, you need to use a tailor's centimeter. It is applied with its beginning to the middle of the forehead, passed through the temple and, capturing the junction of the skull with the spine, brought out through the second temple to the middle of the forehead on the other side. The data obtained will correspond to the domestic size.

If you don’t have a tailor’s meter at hand, then the girth is measured using a thread, the length of which is then measured with a ruler.

Getting the planting depth

Finding out such parameters is required in cases where a hat is knitted or sewn for a specific person with your own hands. In order for a knitted or sewn headdress to fit comfortably on the head, a pattern should be made according to individual measurements.

To do this, you need to find out the distance from the forehead to the back of the head. A point in the middle is determined on the forehead and a meter is extended from it to the occipital protrusion at the top of the head. This measurement varies for adults from 24 to 26.5 cm. It is needed when making a headdress that can be moved to the back of the head.

We measure the distance from temple to temple

When knitting a hat with your hands, you will need to measure the distance between the temples, but not along the forehead, but on the side opposite to the face. The size for adults is usually from 25.5 to 26.5 cm.

Such measurements are needed for knitted hats that are pulled over the head. When constructing a pattern, you should subtract from 0.5 to 1.5 cm from the obtained data on the distance between the temples. In this case, the knitted hat does not fall off the head.

How to measure head circumference

Regardless of whether you want to measure the head circumference of an adult or your child to find out the size of the headdress, it is important to be able to measure the head circumference correctly.

The key is to have the right type of measuring tape - a tailor's tape measure . But it is also important to know exactly where to measure the head and how to correctly grasp the head of an adult with a centimeter.

See the table of hat sizes for adults at the end of the article.

What to consider when choosing a hat

When choosing products in a store, you need to take into account a number of factors that will affect wearing comfort:

material;
knitting pattern;
knitting density.

Things should not stretch much while being worn, maintaining their original appearance. Also, the hat should not cause discomfort.

Hat pattern

Knitted hats can have a voluminous or colored pattern, which, when put on your head, should not stretch much. When making things with three-dimensional patterns yourself, you need to subtract 1 cm from the measurements obtained when creating a pattern. Then they will fit tightly.

Material

Knitted items stretch. When purchasing hats, it is worth remembering that the material or fabric made of wool or cotton shrinks. Therefore, in one case, you should choose a hat of a smaller size than the measurements taken, and in the second case, a larger one.

Material Density

The comfort of wearing something is also influenced by the density of the material from which it is made. When choosing loose knit hats, you should choose a product with a head circumference 1-2 cm less than the measurement data.
