After increased demand we are re-opening the Bates online store. Please bare with us as we update the site to include all of the classic favourites, along with some all new designs.
To measure your head, place a tape measure around your head about 1/8" above your ear, across the mid-forehead, completely circling your head. Hold the tape firmly, but not too tightly. You are measuring your head exactly where the hat will sit.
Our hats and caps are labelled in 'cm' and 'UK Size'. When comparing your size to other non Bates branded hats, please use the 'Generic Sizing' as a guide only.
