How to choose your New Era 59FIFTY size
The New Era 59FIFTY is a fitted cap: it does not use an adjustable back closure, but is instead produced in precise sizes. This is why knowing your head circumference is essential for choosing the correct fit.
Below you will find the correspondence between the main 59FIFTY sizes and the measurements in centimeters indicated by New Era, from size 7 to size 8.
The 59FIFTY has a completely closed back and is chosen based on a specific measurement.
The original silhouette uses a full, structured crown that maintains the signature 59FIFTY shape.
New Era designs the 59FIFTY with a flat visor, which can still be curved according to your preference.

How to measure your head for a 59FIFTY
New Era recommends using a flexible measuring tape and measuring the circumference at the point where the hat's inner sweatband will rest.
Start from the center of your forehead and wrap the tape around your head, just above your eyebrows and ears.
The tape should remain straight and snug, but not so tight that it compresses your head.
Compare the result with the chart and find the corresponding 59FIFTY size.
What if you are between two sizes?
According to New Era guidelines, if your measurement falls between two fitted sizes, it is advisable to round up to the larger size. However, also consider the type of fit you prefer: a fitted cap should feel stable on your head without creating excessive pressure.
