MuleBuy Headwear — Buying Guide

Headwear is deceptively tricky. A cap might look simple, but the curve of the brim, the depth of the crown, and the quality of the embroidery make the difference between a piece that looks right and one that looks off. The MuleBuy spreadsheet has over 700 verified options.

Headwear FAQ

Common Questions

How do I measure my head for fitted caps?
Measure the circumference at the widest point, about one inch above your ears. Most fitted caps are sized in eighths (7 1/8, 7 1/4, etc.).
Are beanies one-size-fits-all?
Most beanies are one-size with stretch, but cuff depth varies. Check the measurements in the spreadsheet if you prefer a deep cuff or a shallow fit.
Do bucket hats have different brim stiffness?
Yes. Some bucket hats have stiff brims that hold their shape. Others are soft and floppy. The notes column usually indicates brim type.
