Your basic skipper hat made of a lightweight wool blend. Timeless model, these have been around for a long time. By purchasing one from us you will get a good high-quality hat that will only look better with use and age.
A classic from times when factory pipes first started polluting the skies, the popularity has waxed and waned over the years but these peaked mariner caps always been around to this day. Now we continue this tradition with our skipper hat made of black 45/55 % wool/polyester blend, with viscose lining on the inside. On the front you'll find the braided cord and "buttons" and that's it. Simple and classic. This is a functional hat too; it keeps your head protected quite well and even holds light rain.
A surprisingly versatile piece of headwear, after you get used to wearing one. It quite effectively demilitarizes your outfit, which is nice if you've been shopping those military lunatic outfits at Varusteleka again or something. You'll just be mistaken for an artist, trust us!
Care
Dry clean only, don't throw this into the washing machine! You could also try to scrub the soiled spot (probably the sweatband) with a sponge, water and mild soap. Thanks to the high wool content the hat doesn't easily start to smell or get soiled anyway.
Even after many years of use the sweat band is pretty easy to replace by just sewing on a new one of similar thickness. This hat has a very long service life, unless you lose it.
Sizing
One centimetre increments between 56—62 cm, talking head circumference here. The fit is loose enough to allow a few fingers between the cap and head; definitely no need to size up for relaxed wear. For a taut fit one size smaller than usual might come into question.
Made by Fredrikson in Estonia.

Koko 56 sopii hyvin koon 55 päähän. Hieman väljyyttä

Tätä sanotaan aivan turhaan kipparinlakiksi.
Tätä voi käyttää aivan huoletta, ilman että veneilypiiritkään tuhahtelisivat.
Tässä kun ei ole niitä palmikkonauhoja tms. feikkikoristeluja, joilla maakrapu voisi itsensä nolata paremmissakaan piireissä.
Hyvin on musta kestänyt värinsä puolesta yhden ankaran hellekesän. On säilyttänyt muotonsa ja kokonsa rankempienkin sadekuurojen jälkeen.
Vasta talven tullen on kaljupään pitänyt siirtyä parempien päähineiden käyttäjäksi.
Ainoa miinus tulee siitä, ettei hikinauha ole nahkaa... vaan voisiko se tähän hintaan ollakaan?

Regarding size: Unless you want something that's a bit loose, take one size smaller. I did and it fits me perfectly a few cm over my ears, but without being high and tight!
