Kufi Cap Size Guide — How to Choose the Right Size for Comfortable Prayer
Choosing the right Kufi cap size is the difference between a cap that sits comfortably through long prayer sessions and one that constantly slips or pinches. At Al-Banuri, we make Islamic Kufi caps (also called Koofi, Namaz Topi in Urdu — نماز ٹوپی, or Taqiyah in Arabic — طاقية) in 6 standard sizes, and this guide explains exactly how to find yours.
The 6 Standard Kufi Cap Sizes
Al-Banuri Kufi caps come in these sizes (measured by head circumference):
| Size | Inches | CM | Most Common For |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 21" | 54 cm | Teenagers, smaller adults |
| S | 21.5" | 55 cm | Small-medium adults |
| M | 22" | 56 cm | Most common adult size |
| L | 22.5" | 57 cm | Medium-large adults |
| XL | 23" | 58 cm | Larger adults |
| XXL | 23.5" | 59 cm | Extra large |
How to Measure Your Head Size at Home
Method 1: Measuring Tape (Most Accurate)
- Take a soft tailor's measuring tape
- Place it about 1 inch above your eyebrows, going around the widest part of your head
- Keep it firm but not tight
- Note the measurement in inches or centimeters
Method 2: String + Ruler (If No Measuring Tape)
- Take a piece of non-stretchy string
- Wrap it around your head where the cap will sit
- Mark where the string meets itself
- Lay it flat against a ruler and measure
Tips When Choosing
- Between two sizes? Always pick the larger — Kufi caps should rest gently, not squeeze.
- Buying as a gift? 22 inch (56cm) is our most ordered adult size.
- For wholesale: A balanced bulk distribution is roughly 21" (10%), 21.5" (15%), 22" (30%), 22.5" (25%), 23" (15%), 23.5" (5%).
Why Sizing Matters for Salah
An ill-fitting cap distracts you during prayer — either slipping off during Sujood or pinching during long Taraweeh sessions. The right size sits comfortably and stays in place naturally.
