NEW ERA HATSUpdated 3 hours ago
How do I know what size New Era hat to buy?
Measure the circumference of your head using a soft measuring tape, placing it just above your eyebrows and ears. Compare your measurement to the New Era Size Guide HERE below to find your best fit.
Are New Era hats true to size?
Yes. New Era fitted hats generally fit true to size. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit.
What's the difference between fitted, stretch-fit, and snapback hats?
Fitted: Available in specific sizes with no adjustable strap.
Stretch-Fit: Features an elastic band for a flexible fit across a range of sizes.
Snapback: Adjustable using a snap closure at the back.
9FORTY/Strapback: Adjustable using a fabric strap or buckle.
What if I'm between two sizes?
If your measurement falls between sizes, we generally recommend choosing the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
Do New Era hats stretch over time?
Fitted hats may relax slightly with regular wear, but they won't stretch significantly. It's best to choose the correct size from the start.
Can I exchange my hat if it doesn't fit?
Yes! If your hat is unworn, in its original condition, and meets our Returns Policy, you can submit an exchange or return.
Do all New Era styles fit the same?
Not always. While sizing is generally consistent, the fit can vary slightly between collections such as the 59FIFTY, 39THIRTY, 9FIFTY, and 9FORTY due to differences in crown shape and construction.
How should a fitted hat fit?
A fitted hat should feel snug but comfortable. It should sit securely on your head without causing pressure or leaving deep marks on your forehead.
Why does the same size feel different in another colour or style?
Small manufacturing tolerances can result in slight variations between colours or production batches. This is normal and usually only a minor difference.
Can I shrink or stretch my fitted hat?
We don't recommend intentionally shrinking or stretching your hat, as this can damage its shape and affect the fit.
What do the New Era style names mean?
59FIFTY: Structured fitted cap.
39THIRTY: Stretch-fit cap with a curved brim.
9FIFTY: Adjustable snapback with a flat brim.
9FORTY: Adjustable cap with a curved brim.
9TWENTY: Relaxed, unstructured adjustable cap.
Where can I find the size of my New Era hat?
For fitted hats, the size is usually displayed on the sticker on the brim and on the inside sweatband. Adjustable hats are typically labelled as Small/Medium, Medium/Large, or One Size.
