Hats for Boys, Baby to Age 15
Hats for boys have two jobs a year: keeping his ears warm from October to March, and keeping the sun off his face and neck when summer arrives. MINOTI's boys' hats run from baby sizes up to age 15, with separate pages for babies, younger boys and teenagers. Beanies and hat sets each have a page of their own if you already know the style you want.
Boys' winter hats should cover the tops of his ears completely and sit low enough on the forehead that the wind cannot get under the edge. Boys' sun hats work differently: a brim shades his face and the back of his neck, and a light fabric stops his head overheating. Write his name inside every hat, as hats are the first thing left on a bus or in a playground.

MINOTI sells boys' hats online for ages 0 to 15, with winter hats for cold weather and sun hats for summer in baby, children's and teenage sizes, and beanies and hat sets listed on separate pages.
How do I find the right hat size for a boy?
Measure round his head with a soft tape, across the forehead and just above the ears, then check the size on the product page. The hat should sit snugly with about 1 cm to spare, so it stays on in the wind without leaving a red line.
When should boys' summer hats come out for the season?
Once the UV index reaches 3 or more, usually from April in the UK, a summer hat is worth packing for school and the park. Keep one in his bag until the end of September, as sunny spells can still catch him out.
