Use circumference before fitted fractions

Measure the head first and treat the fitted fraction or S/M/L label as the converted value. That makes it easier to compare brands that use different naming systems.

If the measurement falls between two rows, consider whether the hat is rigid, adjustable, stretch-fitted, or shapeable.
