Review on Washed Twill Cotton Baseball Cap For Men And Women - Adjustable And Comfortable (A1008) by John Clarey

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Bleachers, not box seat.

It’s an okay hat to beat around in, but don’t expect a lot if you’re particular about quality. Not bad, not great.Right off the bat, one seam had a loop of thread sticking up out of it. Not a great lead-off.Although the material is soft, I would consider it to be on the thin side. But I suppose that’s not too far out in left field for this price range.My head is 57cm around (just under 22.5 inches) and I was able to adjust the band to fit me comfortably. So, the sizing is as claimed, or close to it. So that’s a plus. Frustratingly, this is more than I can say for the majority sellers I’ve experienced in this marketplace, but I digress.In case you’re considering the black one, be aware that mine showed up about 2 shades lighter than in the pictures. More of a medium charcoal rather than the faded-washed-but-still-black look as shown. To use the Zone system in black-and-white photography, which is a 0-10 scale where 0 is pure black, the picture is a 1 and my hat is almost a 3. (a Google image search will pull up plenty of references if you need one)It appears that the two seams terminating above the temples are longer than the rest, causing an outward bulge midway down from the top, followed by inward buckling just above the hatband. It gives the beanie a sloppy appearance from the front, and not the clean, round silhouette of a better-fitting low profile hat.Not really out of league with my expectations at this price. It’s just a cheap hat, that's all. Probably good enough for the minors, but definitely not ready for the Show.

Pros
  • The hat is OK, is adjustable for heat size. Looks are just so-so, but a reasonable item for the price.
Cons
  • Not suitable for people with sensitive skin
