Hats
Some of our hats are sold in 11 traditional hat sizes (6 3/4 – 8), some are S – XXL, and some are ‘One Size’. Please view the chart below for a comparison.
Measure your head by taking a measuring tape and place it around the circumference of the head, slightly above the ears. This will give you our hat size in inches. When choosing a hat size don’t get something too tight as you may get a headache and don’t get one that’s too loose as it will blow off in a strong wind – like Goldilocks, pick one in the middle and it will be just right!
As you’ll see in the chart below, hats sold in S, M, L, XL, XXL tend to bridge more sizes than standard UK hat sizes. For example a medium (M) will likely comfortably fit both a UK 6 7/8 and a 7 head size.

Children’s Hats
We have two sizes in our BB06 Children’s Flat Caps, these correspond approximately to:
Small | 46-50cm | 2-4 years
Large | 50-54cm | 4-7 years
One Size
Some of our hats don’t come in any sizes as they are “One-size fits all”. This is mostly for sheepskin and woollen hats as the natural fibres stretch and so fit ‘most’ head sizes. However if you do require a large or small size hat we recommend you email us and give us a ring on 015242 51747 when you order as we are often able to find ‘bigger’ or ‘smaller’ versions of our one-size items. As we hand pick and pack each items, we’ll just make a note on your order of your requirements.

Gloves & Mittens
Use the table below to match Glencroft ladies or mens glove sizes with the corresponding inches.
To find out your glove size, measure the hand you normally write with at its widest point (just below the knuckles) in inches (make sure to exclude the thumb!), then round down to the nearest half or whole number.
For example if your hand measures 9 inches around at the widest point then that will correspond to a Men’s Medium glove.

Jumpers
Approximate sizes for Glencroft cardigans and jumpers. Whilst we aim to produce jumpers to these sizes, some styles can vary due to design, yarn and finishing. 100% British Wool is a natural material which can make our jumper sizes vary slightly from our guide below. Things such as humidity, dyes and even the breeds in the yarn can affect how it behaves on the knitting machines. If in doubt please get in touch and we can measure the stock we have for you. We will also always exchange if the size you purchase isn’t right.
‘Sleeve’ is measured from armpit to end of cuff. ‘Length’ down the back of the jumper, from under the collar to the hem. ‘Chest’ is twice the length from armpit to armpit when laid flat.

Sheepskins
Standard natural British sheepskin rugs tend to be about 30 x 20 inches (75 x 50 cm). Large naturals average 35 x 24 inches (90 x 60 cm). Large rugs also have thicker woollier fleeces – as they are from older sheep. Standard rugs are often what we call ‘silky’ as the fleece length is shorter and usually softer to touch.
British rare breed rugs are smaller than natural rugs – because rare breed sheep are usually smaller – with standards approximately 28 x 20 inch (70 x 50 cm), and large 34 x 20 inches (85 x 50 cm). Again larger rugs are woollier with a much thicker fleece.
Please note that these really are rough sizes because, like sheep, the size, dimensions and fleeces can differ so much and it completely depends on the rugs that we have in stock at the time of order.
Our one-off British sheepskin rugs will often detail the exact dimensions on the page.
