Head size is head circumference taken above the eyebrows and ears. Use a tape measure.
*Soft cap mortar boards are slightly elasticised with a little room between sizes. If you are in-between sizes, we recommend the larger size. ie: if you measure 57.5cms, choose a size large. Head sizing can be tricky. You are welcome to exchange size within 7 days of receiving.

The bonnet should sit flat on your head (not fluffed up like a chef's hat). The tassels drape to one side as determined by your university.
