SMITTY Pro-Performance Umpire Hat (4-Stitch or 6-Stitch)
High Performance Woven Fabric
Durable Checkered Pattern
Low profile fit with structured panels
A 4-stitch hat features a shorter bill, making it perfect for plate umpires who need to prevent interference with their mask.
The 6-stitch version has a longer bill, offering enhanced sun protection—making it a preferred choice for base and field umpires.
Ensuring the correct fit:
What you need:
-
A soft measuring tape (like for sewing) — or
-
A string + ruler as an alternative
Steps:
-
Wrap the tape around your head about ½ inch above your eyebrows and just above your ears — this is where the hat will naturally sit.
-
Make sure the tape is snug but not tight. You should be able to slide a finger underneath.
-
Note the measurement in inches.
-
Match the measurement to the size chart:
Head Measurement (inches) | Hat Size |
---|---|
21¼″ – 22⅜″ | Small (6 ¾ – 7 ⅛) |
22⅜″ – 23½″ | Medium (7 ¼ – 7 ½) |
23½″ – 25″ | Large (7 ⅝ – 8) |
