Size Conversion Chart
European military surplus uses metric sizing (the circumference of your head in centimeters). Below is a conversion chart for the specific sizes you requested:
| Metric (EU) | US Hat Size | UK Hat Size | Head Circumference (Inches) | General Size |
| 57 | 7 1/8 | 7 | 22 1/4" | Medium |
| 58 | 7 1/4 | 7 1/8 | 22 5/8" | Large |
| 59 | 7 3/8 | 7 1/4 | 23" | Large |
| 60 | 7 1/2 | 7 3/8 | 23 1/2" | XL |
Fitting Tips:
- How to Measure: Wrap a flexible measuring tape around your head approximately 1/8" above your ears and across the middle of your forehead.
- Fit Note: Military surplus items can sometimes run slightly small due to previous laundering or thick internal insulation. If your measurement falls exactly on a line (e.g., 58.5 cm), it is generally recommended to size up to ensure comfort, especially if you plan to wear the flaps down.
