And the vertical girth can be determined by measuring the length of the vertical line passing through the chin, cheeks and crown. These measurements should be rounded so that the last digit was 0 or 5.

From 1190 to 1210 mm, the second size;

From 1240 to 1260 mm the fourth size;
From 1265 to 1285 mm – fifth size;
From 1290 to 1310 mm – six.
