Nice cap. Priced well below any similar product

Purchased recently; worn casually. My fitted baseball cap size is 7-1/4, and I typically struggle to find flat caps that fit properly. Expectations vs. reality: This cap is labeled as 7-1/8 – 7-1/4, which suggested it would fall right in my size range. In reality, it fits looser than my 7-1/4 fitted baseball cap (MLB 59Fifty), so it doesn’t sit quite as snug as expected. It isn’t wildly oversized, just loose enough that I won’t wear it as often as I had hoped. Details: My head measures ~21.5″; in true 7-1/4 fitted caps, the fit is excellent. This cap feels closer to a looser medium despite its labeled size. Material is 100% cotton, lightweight and breathable. Build quality is basic, but fair considering the $9 price. I haven’t added foam inserts yet, though they would likely improve the fit. Pros: ● Very affordable price ● 100% cotton, breathable feel ● Specific size labeling instead of vague S/M or L/XL Cons: ● Fit runs looser than expected for its size range ● Basic construction; nothing standout ● Elastic doesn’t add much hold Who it’s for / not for: For: Budget buyers who want a lightweight cotton flat cap and aren’t picky about exact fit. Not for: Anyone expecting the snug, precise feel of a true 7-1/4 fitted cap. Bottom line: For $9, this is a decent cotton flat cap that looks fine and feels comfortable, but the sizing runs looser than its labeled size. It’s wearable and could be improved with foam inserts, but don’t expect the snug accuracy of a true fitted hat.

Great hat- fantastic fine cotton canvas which is breathable and good for wam and moderate climates where wool is too heavy. I used a wax dressing on one of mine to antique it and make it water repellent for rainy days. For those who say it runs too big, there is a white ribbon inside with Velcro on the end. You can customize the fit.

I have worn flat caps for the last 30 years and I was extremely happy to find an affordable fitted hat that fits like a glove. I washed it when I got it and was able to shape it to my head. It’s as comfortable as any other hat that I’ve ever had
