Fit and fabric

This is a Yupoong 6245CM classic dad hat in 100% chino cotton twill. It is unstructured, with six panels and a low profile, so it sits close to the head and looks broken in from day one. The design is embroidered on the front, not printed, so the stitching has texture and holds up to sun and sweat. Colors are Khaki, Stone, Pink, Light Blue and White. The soft crown makes it a comfortable everyday hat, on the court or off it. The hat is $32.

Size guide

One size fits most adults. An adjustable strap with an antique buckle in the back lets you loosen or tighten the fit, which makes a hat one of the easiest gifts when you do not know someone's size.
