New Era Hat Size Chart
This New Era hat size chart helps you find the right fit across the brand’s fitted, stretch-fit, and adjustable caps, and shows how to measure your head so your custom order fits right the first time. Speedy Pros Hats, family-owned in Brandon, FL since 2009, customizes New Era caps to order with no minimums and a free digital proof.
New Era caps come in three fit types, and each is sized differently: the fitted 59FIFTY uses exact numeric sizes, the stretch-fit 39THIRTY uses size bands, and adjustable caps like the 9FORTY are one-size. Measuring your head first makes picking the right one easy.
Speedy Pros Hats, a family-owned custom hat company serving the Tampa Bay area, has decorated hundreds of thousands of caps for teams, businesses, and events over more than 15 years. Every hat is decorated here in the USA, any order size is welcome, and free artwork setup is included on orders of 12 or more.
- Three fit types. Fitted, stretch-fit, and adjustable.
- Measure first. A soft tape around your head sets your size.
- Fitted = exact sizes. The 59FIFTY is sized to the head.
- Proof before production. You approve the logo and colors on a free digital proof.
How to Measure Your Head
Before using any size chart, measure your head. Wrap a soft tape measure around your head about an inch above your ears and eyebrows, where a cap sits, keeping it level and snug but not tight. That measurement, in inches or centimeters, is what you match to the chart. If you’re between sizes, size up slightly. Our full head-measuring guide walks through it.
Which chart you use depends on the cap. New Era makes three fit types: the fitted 59FIFTY (exact numeric sizes), the stretch-fit 39THIRTY (size bands like S/M, M/L, L/XL), and adjustable caps like the 9FORTY (one-size, fits most). Our New Era fitted hats page covers the fitted route.
For a group order, collect rough head measurements or a size split up front, especially for fitted and stretch-fit caps, so everyone gets a good fit. For adjustable caps, one size covers almost everyone.
New Era Size Chart by Fit Type
Here’s how the fit types size up.
| Fit type | Sizing | How it fits |
|---|---|---|
| 59FIFTY (fitted) | Exact numeric (approx 6 7/8 to 8) | Sized to the head, no adjuster |
| 39THIRTY (stretch) | Bands: S/M, M/L, L/XL | Stretches within a range |
| 9FORTY (adjustable) | One-size | Adjustable strap or snap |
| 9FIFTY (snapback) | One-size | Snapback fits most |
Fitted 59FIFTY caps use exact numeric sizes; stretch-fit 39THIRTY caps use size bands; adjustable 9FORTY and 9FIFTY caps are one-size.
So measure your head, then match it to the right chart for the cap you want: exact size for a fitted 59FIFTY, a band for a stretch 39THIRTY, or one-size for an adjustable cap. See our custom New Era hats range, and we’ll confirm the fit before you order.
Fitted vs Stretch vs Adjustable
If you want an exact, tailored fit, the fitted 59FIFTY is sized to your head, no adjuster, so measuring matters most here. If you want a clean, closed-back look without exact sizing, the stretch-fit 39THIRTY fits a range within each band. If you want the easiest option for a group, an adjustable 9FORTY or 9FIFTY is one-size and fits almost everyone.
For a mixed group, adjustable caps are simplest; for a uniform, tailored look, plan fitted or stretch sizes. The custom New Era range shows the options, and we help you plan sizes before you order.
Sizing and Your Logo
Fit doesn’t change how a logo is decorated, a centered front embroidered logo works across fitted, stretch, and adjustable New Era caps. We size the logo to the cap on your proof.
For fitted caps, the firm structured front is excellent for a bold, detailed logo; for softer caps, keep the logo modest. See best New Era hat for embroidery for the details.
Thread or patch color sets the tone. High-contrast for bold, tonal for subtle. Everything is locked on your free proof first.
Size up if you’re between sizes. On fitted and stretch-fit caps, if your head measures between two sizes, go with the larger one, a slightly roomy cap is far more comfortable than one that’s too tight.
Who This Chart Helps
Anyone ordering New Era caps, individuals and groups picking the right fit. Knowing the three fit types and measuring first means your custom order fits right the first time, no guesswork, no returns.
For fitted caps, see our New Era fitted hats; for the range, our custom New Era hats. For the right fit, measure first and match the chart.
One logo covers the run, and we confirm sizing and the logo on your proof.
How to Order the Right Size
Measure your head, pick the fit type and size, send your logo, and approve the free digital proof. There are no minimums, so order one cap or a full team, with free artwork setup on orders of 12 or more. Everything is decorated in the USA.
Browse custom New Era caps, or start a New Era order and we will proof it first. Pricing and the production window are shown on the quick order page.
Guessing your size instead of measuring. A quick tape measure around your head takes seconds and prevents fit surprises, especially on fitted and stretch caps that don’t adjust. Measure first, then match the chart.
What to Send and What You Get
Send your logo as a vector file when you can — an AI, EPS, or PDF — and we set it up for decoration. A high-resolution PNG works too, and if the art needs cleanup we handle it. Free artwork setup is included on orders of 12 or more, so most orders start with no setup cost at all.
We match your brand colors on the free digital proof, where you see the cap and the logo together before anything is made. Nothing goes into production until you approve that proof, so the first New Era hats off the line is the one you signed off on — colors, size, and placement included.
Reordering is simple. Your setup stays on file, so a repeat run comes back consistent with the first. With no minimums you can start with a single piece or a small batch to confirm the look, then scale up once the design is proven, all from the same shop and the same quick order page.
Every order includes that free proof and our help getting the art right, so you are never guessing at the result. If something is off on our end, we make it right or remake the order on a production error — that is the whole point of proofing before production, to catch anything before a hat is made rather than after.

How do I measure for a New Era hat?
Wrap a soft tape measure around your head about an inch above your ears and eyebrows, level and snug. Match that measurement to the size chart for the cap you want.
How is a 59FIFTY sized?
The fitted 59FIFTY uses exact numeric sizes (roughly 6 7/8 to 8), sized to your head with no adjuster. Measure carefully, and size up if you’re between sizes.
How is a 39THIRTY sized?
The stretch-fit 39THIRTY uses size bands (S/M, M/L, L/XL). Within each band the stretch adapts to a range of heads, so there’s no snap.
Are adjustable New Era caps one-size?
Yes. Adjustable caps like the 9FORTY and snapback 9FIFTY are one-size and fit most heads via a strap or snap, so they’re easiest for groups.
What if I’m between sizes?
Size up. On fitted and stretch caps, a slightly roomy fit is far more comfortable than one that’s too tight, so choose the larger option when in doubt.
Do you have a minimum for New Era hats?
No. Order a single New Era cap or a full team. Free artwork setup is included on orders of 12 or more.
Are custom New Era hats decorated in the USA?
Yes. Every cap is decorated in the USA, and you approve a free digital proof before production.
Measure once, match the chart, and order with confidence.
