New Era
Here’s how New Era fits your child compared to other brands you might be considering, so you know before it’s in your cart.
What size is (and isn’t) like New Era at other brands?
Find your child’s New Era size on the left. Twins wear the same number the same way — your size carries straight over. Strangers use the same number but cut it shorter or longer, so don’t trust the label alone.

In short
Where labels drift. The exceptions are the “strangers” above — e.g. at size M, Nautica, Amazon Essentials Kids, Reebok Kids cut the same number differently. Check those before you trust the label.
Bottom line: for most sizes, a New Era number is a safe bet elsewhere — measure once, then double-check only the handful of “stranger” brands above.
