About Hats & Caps
All Hats & Caps FAQs
What are the best hats for cold weather?
For cold weather, choose a beanie, trapper hat or balaclava with an insulating knit and a soft lining. Look for a close fit over the ears, wind-resistant fabric, and a warm inner band so it stays comfortable on long days outside.
Are there waterproof hats and caps for wet weather?
Yes. Water-repellent and waterproof headwear is designed to shed rain and help retain warmth in damp conditions. Prioritise sealed or water-resistant outer fabrics, quick-drying linings, and a brim or peak that helps keep rain off your face.
What’s the difference between a flat cap and a baseball cap?
A flat cap is a classic, structured style that pairs well with knitwear, coats and smarter casual outfits. A baseball cap is lighter, often adjustable, and works well for everyday wear and travel, offering shade with a curved peak.
Which hat is best for walking and travel?
For walking and travel, choose a cap or bucket hat with breathable fabric, a comfortable inner band and an adjustable fit. If you expect changeable weather, pick a water-repellent option; in cold conditions, a warm beanie or lined hat is a better choice.
How should a hat or cap fit?
A hat should sit level and feel secure without pressure. A cap should not pinch at the temples, and a beanie should cover the ears without sliding up. If you are between sizes, an adjustable closure or elasticated band can improve comfort.
What hat should I choose for sun and warmer months?
For warmer months, choose a breathable cap or bucket hat with a brim that gives shade. Lightweight fabrics and ventilation panels help reduce heat build-up, and an adjustable strap helps keep the fit stable on breezy days.
How do I look after hats and caps to keep them in good condition?
Follow the care label first. As a general rule, spot-clean marks, air-dry away from direct heat, and reshape brims or crowns while damp. For wool hats, avoid hot washing and heavy spinning to reduce shrinkage or loss of shape.
