Scrub Caps Size Guide
🧵 Scrub Cap Size Guide
Find your perfect fit with our comprehensive sizing guide. Because a great cap should feel like it was made just for you, because it is!
⚠️ Important: Custom Orders Are Final
Because we custom-make each scrub cap using limited-run fabrics and embroidery, we cannot offer refunds once an order is placed. We strongly recommend ordering a refundable sample pack first to ensure the perfect fit!
📋 How The Sample Box Works
📐 How to Measure Your Head
Getting an accurate measurement is the key to a perfect fit. Here's what to consider:
💡 Key Considerations
- ✓ Head circumference — measure around the widest part of your head
- ✓ Hair length & volume — thicker or longer hair needs more room
- ✓ Personal preference — snug fit vs. more breathing room
- ✓ Wearing style — will you tuck your hair inside?
Pro tip: If you're between sizes or at the edge of a range, size up—especially for the Captain style which fits snugly.
