Shopping for hats and caps online should be simple—but for most people, it’s not. You pick a style, guess a size, place your order… and when it arrives, it either squeezes your forehead or falls right off. Sound familiar?
That’s exactly the frustration Auglio set out to fix.
With our easy-to-use augmented reality sizing tools, shoppers can now measure hat size or get precise cap size measurement directly from their smartphone or webcam—no measuring tape, no guesswork, and no need to interpret confusing sizing charts. Just accurate, personalized results in seconds.
For fashion brands, lifestyle retailers, and online marketplaces, this is a game-changer: fewer returns, better conversions, and happier customers.
Why sizing matters in online headwear shopping
Unlike shoes or T-shirts, a hat has to fit—not just in terms of style, but in physical size and proportion. A cap that’s too tight causes discomfort and leaves marks. One that’s too big looks sloppy or won’t stay on in a breeze. And fitted caps? They offer almost zero flexibility, which means precision is everything.
Online, though, customers often have to make sizing decisions based on vague descriptions and general charts. S, M, L just doesn’t cut it when head sizes vary significantly and styles sit differently. It’s no surprise so many shoppers buy multiple sizes or avoid buying altogether.
With Auglio, that entire process gets smarter. Our AR-based cap and hat sizing tool makes it easy to get the right fit from the start—so shoppers buy with confidence, not caution.
How Auglio makes hat and cap sizing effortless
At auglio.com, we’ve built technology that transforms how people shop for headwear online. Our virtual sizing tool uses a customer’s device camera to scan their head and calculate the most accurate fit for the product they’re viewing.
Here’s how it works in a nutshell:
The user accesses the AR sizing tool on your site. The tool activates their camera, scans the head shape and size, and uses computer vision to map their measurements. Within seconds, the system recommends the ideal size for the hat or cap they’re considering—tailored to that item’s fit profile.
This isn’t just a circumference reading. It’s a complete hat size measurement experience, adapted to real human heads and product-specific variables.
One tool, many styles: From caps to couture
Not all headwear is worn the same way. A structured baseball cap fits differently than a relaxed beanie. A high-fashion fedora sits higher on the crown than a fisherman bucket hat. And adjustable caps, while flexible, still benefit from a good baseline size.
That’s why Auglio’s tool is built to handle cap size measurement and hat size measurement across styles, materials, and fit preferences.
Our technology factors in how a specific item is designed to sit on the head—whether snug, slouched, perched, or deep—and adjusts its recommendations accordingly. This means a shopper choosing between a dad cap and a wool beret gets sizing tailored to each, without needing to interpret vague size guides or guess based on past purchases.
Why retailers are turning to virtual sizing
For e-commerce businesses selling headwear, returns due to poor fit are one of the most avoidable headaches. When customers aren’t sure about sizing, they either don’t buy—or they buy multiple sizes and return what doesn’t work. That’s money lost on shipping, restocking, and customer support.
By integrating Auglio’s virtual sizing tools, retailers can offer a premium solution that solves a real problem. Customers get the right size on the first try, leading to fewer returns, higher satisfaction, and stronger brand loyalty.
Just as important, it’s a modern feature that sets your brand apart. Auglio isn’t just about fit—it’s about giving your customers a shopping experience that feels personalized, innovative, and future-ready.

Complete the experience with virtual try-on
Sizing is only part of the puzzle. With Auglio, retailers can also enable virtual try-on, allowing shoppers to preview how a cap or hat will actually look on their head in real-time.
Imagine this: a shopper scans to find their correct size, then tries on the style virtually to see how it fits their face, hair, and overall look—all within the product page.
That combination—cap size measurement plus visual try-on—turns your product pages into personalized styling tools. It’s not just more convenient for shoppers—it’s more compelling. And compelling experiences are what drive conversions in today’s crowded digital market.
The future of cap and hat sizing is here
At Auglio, we believe that shopping for headwear online should be as intuitive and personal as trying it on in-store. With our AR-powered tools, your customers can measure hat size, find their perfect cap size, and buy with confidence—all from the comfort of home.
For retailers, that means fewer returns, better reviews, and a clear competitive advantage. For customers, it means getting the right fit—and the right look—the first time.
