Buying Tips
- Request a macro photo of the embroidery to check stitch density.

Risk Notes

Sizing & Fit
Most caps are one-size with adjustable straps. Beanies are generally stretchy and fit 54-60cm head circumferences. Bucket hats often have two size options; measure head circumference before choosing.
Material Guide
Cotton twill is standard for caps. Corduroy and denim are common for bucket hats. Beanies use acrylic, wool blends, or cotton depending on warmth needs.

Common Questions About Headwear
How do I know if embroidery is high quality?
High-density embroidery feels slightly raised and has tight, even stitching with no visible gaps. Low-density embroidery looks flat and threadbare.
Can I reshape the brim?
Most brims have a plastic insert that can be gently curved by hand or with a rubber band wrap overnight. Be careful not to crack the insert.
