Searched through the forums to see if this had been adressed previously and couldn't seem to find it. Lately I've been getting a lot of phonecalls at work (and some PMs here) asking how to size yourself for a beret without actually trying one on. So here goes:
Use 9erDs measuring tape to measure the circumference around your head at the point where you want the rim of your beret to sit. Use the following chart to convert to your proper beret size:
Available sizes Head Circumference
6-1/4 = 19.75" (50cm)
6-3/8 = 20.12" (51cm)
6-1/2 = 20.50" (52cm)
6-5/8 = 20.87" (53cm)
6-3/4 = 21.25" (54cm)
6-7/8 = 21.62" (55cm)
7 = 22.00" (56cm)
7-1/8 = 22.37" (57cm)
7-1/4 = 22.75" (58cm)
7-3/8 = 23.12" (59cm)
7-1/2 = 23.50" (60cm)
7-5/8 = 23.87" (61cm)
7-3/4 = 24.87" (63cm)
8 = 25.25" (64cm)
Just remember gentlemen, please use 9erDs nice soft sewing basket measuring tape for this, not your multi-use metallic, clip-on, man-type measuring tape.....besides getting an improper fit, you might take out your eye!! ;D
