Get a flexible tape measure with centimetre or inch markings. A piece of string measured against a ruler works too.
Wrap the tape around your head just above your ears and eyebrows, at the widest point of your head.
Make sure the tape sits low enough at the back — it should rest at the widest part, not ride up.
Note your measurement in centimetres or inches.
Find your size in the chart above.
Tip: If possible, have someone help you — it's hard to read the tape at the back of your own head.
If your measurement falls between two sizes, we recommend sizing down for a snug fit. Hanna Hats caps are designed to sit securely without being too tight.
Same size across all styles. A Medium in a Hanna Hats flat cap is the same as a Medium in their newsboy cap or walking hat.
Tweed vs. Linen: Most customers wear the same size in both. Some find linen caps feel slightly roomier due to the lighter, more pliable fabric.
Break-in: Tweed caps are steam-pressed before shipping and arrive structured. Wool tweed will soften slightly with wear but will not stretch significantly. Choose based on your measured size.
Handcrafted consistency: Each cap is size-checked before it leaves the Donegal workshop.

This hat was precisely what I wanted. It fits me very comfortably, looks great, and protects my head from damp rainy weather. Thank you!
Store owner replied:
Hello Gordon, I'm thrilled to hear that you're loving your new Handwoven Eight Piece Cap. I hope you enjoy it for many years to come. Thank you for taking the time to write a review, too. Best Regards ~ Stuart, Owner of Real Irish
My problem wasn't with the hat, it was with the 20% that was charged for me sending four hats back. I explained in an email that I was trying to get the right fit and right style of hat for my head, so I ordered four different styles so that I didn't have to pay returns for four different hats. I was still charged the "restocking fee" of 20%. It wouldn't have happened if I had ordered the four hats separately, so I'm trying to see why it happened if I was just trying to compare them. Not happy and I won't be doing business with Real Irish again.
Store owner replied:
Hello Vincent, you place d2 different orders for 5 caps in total, and returned all of them. You were charged a 20% restocking fee as is advertised in our policies. We are a small business and can not operate with our small inventory the way maybe Amazon or Walmart can. Regards ~ Stuart.
The eight piece cap came in a two cap order. Eight piece cap in grey reminds me of Spanky as a toddler in the "Our Gang" comedies. Packaged very nicely and shipped to New Jersey very quickly. Both are top shelf in quality. Truely a reliable resource for Irish goods. And a real pleasure to interact with. Great shop, caring people. Thanks
Store owner replied:
Hello Michael. Thanks so much for your lovrely review. I'm so glad your shopping experience with us was great. Regards ~ Stuart at Real Irish.
My wife and I bought several items. It was a very pleasant experience, service was great, the store was inviting and the merchandise was very well displayed. We had met the owner several times previously and we had a very good time talking about our trips to Ireland. We would strongly recommend visiting the store while in Ann Arbor.
Store owner replied:
Hello James. Thanks so much for your review. It was lovely to meet you and your wife when you visited our shop. I'm so glad it was a positive experience. Regards ~ Stuart at Real Irish - Gifts & Travel.
Prompt shipping and the cap was perfect! I prefer a little extra material on the sides and this has it. Some caps are advertised as “old school” and this cap meets that mark...great workmanship and materials....I am very pleased.
Store owner replied:
Hello Robert. Our Eight Piece Caps are the classic 'old school' baggy design that offer a bit more material on the sides. Those that love them love them that's for sure. We also offer more fitted ones (Nesboy style) for those that don't. We're glad you are very happy with yours. Regards ~ Stuart at Real Irish - Gifts & Travel.
