Hats

Choosing a hat from this lineup

Run through these three checks and you'll land on the right cap.

1. The style

A structured cap has a stiff front that stands up on its own. An unstructured "dad hat" is softer and sits lower. Trucker hats pair a foam or fabric front panel with mesh at the rear for airflow on a sunny afternoon. The product description says which shape you're looking at, along with the material, since blanks vary between designs.

2. The decoration

Embroidered hats have the design sewn in thread. It's durable and textured, and works best with bold shapes and short text, since tiny details get simplified. Printed hats, either printed directly on the fabric or on a patch, can show more colors and finer lines. Your hat is decorated by a production partner after checkout, using the method listed on that product.

3. The fit

Snapbacks, strap backs and buckle closures adjust to most adult heads. If a listing comes in set sizes, run a flexible tape around your head, level with your forehead and resting on the top edge of each ear, and look that number up in the hat size section.

Keeping it clean

• Spot clean with a damp cloth and a little gentle detergent.
• Keep it out of the washer and dryer; tumbling warps the bill and flattens the front.
• Dry it on an upturned bowl or a coffee can so the crown stays rounded.

If the stitching is off or the wrong hat arrives, our Return Policy shows how to report it.
