How do I choose between XS and XL, or is the adjustable closure enough to bridge the gap?

The buckle closure at the back provides meaningful adjustment across a range of head circumferences, but the two sizes (XS and XL) address notably different head sizes. Measure your head circumference and select the size closest to your measurement before relying on the closure for fine-tuning.

How does a structured cotton cap like this hold its shape over time?

The mid-weight cotton construction and internal panel structure mean the crown retains its form through regular wear. Unlike unstructured caps that soften and sag, the rigidity here is built into the fabric weight and panel construction rather than relying solely on an internal stiffener, which means the shape endures even after spot cleaning.

What is the best way to clean this cap without distorting its shape?

Spot clean with a damp cloth for minor marks, or hand wash gently in cool water. Reshape the crown while damp and allow to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight to preserve the structured silhouette.
