Kufi Cap Size Guide — How to Measure for the Perfect Fit
Buying a Kufi cap (Namaz Topi) online is easy — as long as you get the size right. A cap that is too tight feels uncomfortable during long Salah, while one that is too loose slips during Sujood. This simple guide shows you how to measure your head and choose the perfect Kufi cap size.
Al-Banuri Kufi Cap Sizes
All Al-Banuri Kufi caps are available in 6 sizes, measured by the inside circumference of the cap:
- 21 inches — Small
- 21.5 inches — Small / Medium
- 22 inches — Medium (most common)
- 22.5 inches — Medium / Large
- 23 inches — Large
- 23.5 inches — Extra Large
The most commonly ordered size is 22 inches, which fits the average adult male head.
How to Measure Your Head Size
You only need a soft measuring tape (or a piece of string and a ruler):
- Wrap the measuring tape around your head where the cap will sit — just above the ears and across the middle of the forehead.
- Keep the tape level and snug, but not tight.
- Note the measurement in inches. This is your Kufi cap size.
- If you used string, mark the overlap point and measure it against a ruler.
If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
Size Tips
- Between sizes? Go up, not down — a slightly looser cap is more comfortable than a tight one.
- Buying as a gift? 22 inches is the safest choice for most adult men.
- For children or teens? Measure first — youth head sizes usually fall between 21 and 21.5 inches.
- Wholesale orders? Most retailers stock a mix, weighted toward 22 and 22.5 inches.
Why Fit Matters for a Prayer Cap
A well-fitted Kufi cap stays in place during Ruku and Sujood, feels comfortable through long Taraweeh prayers, and looks neat and dignified. Al-Banuri caps are crafted from premium suiting fabric that holds its shape, so once you find your size, the fit stays consistent wash after wash.
