Wrap a cloth measuring tape around your head just above your eyebrows and ears. Pull the tape comfortably snug, read the length, repeat for good measure and use the largest measurement. A piece of string will work too, then just hold it up to a ruler and measure.

"Id been waiting for this hat to come back in stock, and when it did I jumped on a chance to order. Got it and it was too tight. I panicked worried it would sell out again before I could do an exchange. Boston Scally made the exchange a work of art and the larger size was on my head getting compliments within of few days of my return. Love the hat, love the company!"
"I love the color and material, but there is a flaw in the construction of this cap. There is too much material sagging at the lower end by the ears. It looks odd as a result, a bit like a mushroom on my head. I have the blue plaid trainer (same size) and it doesn’t have the same issue. Probably will return. Too bad."
"Looks and fits exactly how I thought it would. Boston Scally was good w/ me returning it for a better size too. Good experience dealing w/ them and I'm quite happy w/ the cap."
"Yet…another perfect fitting cap! The color on this one is accurately represented which is always nice!"
"Yo! I had this one in my cart about to buy it when it sold out. Finally got my hands on one. This lightweight trainer is the ultimate summer peaky ( atleast untill Boston scally gives us the summer rose. ) this is a fine dark plaid. Goes well with work or dress clothes. Stay looking sharp all summer. As always made with high quality craftsmanship."
"I highly recommend the Trainer Plaid Grey cap. Its neutral iron‑grey plaid design fits seamlessly with every outfit in my wardrobe — from black dress pants to stonewashed jeans. The color has zero bias, making it more corporate‑friendly than the blue version while still stylish for casual wear. I appreciate how it creates a balanced gradient across warm and cool palettes, perfect for mixed‑tone days. The moisture‑wicking tech lining and lightweight poly/rayon shell make it ideal for Texas heat. It’s breathable, polished, and never clashes — truly the most versatile cap I own."
"Lightweight and breathable. Love the 8 panel underneath. Great cap!"
"Looks really good! Fits great and goes well with about anything I wear. I scoped this hat for a while until it came back in stock. As soon as I saw it was back… purchased!"
"The fit is perfect and I love the color. I've been waiting a couple months for it to come back in stock and glad I did!"
"Superb look - exactly what I needed."
