Choosing men's caps

Men's caps come in a few main shapes: trucker caps with a mesh back, ranger caps with a flat brim, and 5 panel caps with a low crown. Pick by how you like a cap to sit, and check whether the strap adjusts at the back. Sutsu makes most of the men's caps here, and Komodo, Swole Panda, Shinjuku Lanes and Ration.L make most of the beanies. Each brand was checked for what its hats are made from and how they are made.

Men's trucker cap, ranger and 5 panel styles

Sutsu makes each men's trucker cap with outdoor designs such as Birds and Mountains, Sunseeker, Dawn Patrol, Happy Trees and Mountain Circle. The same designs come as ranger caps and 5 panel caps, along with Trees and Water and Two Trees. Komodo makes the Rocky organic cotton cap, Ration.L makes the R-Thrive organic cotton cap, and Catalyse Life Drinks and Fit Skincare make baseball caps. A cap in a muted colour goes with most jackets, while a bright design suits summer weekends and festivals.

Men's beanie hats

Each men's beanie here suits a different kind of cold. Komodo makes organic cotton beanie hats in black, hazelnut and bright colours, plus lambswool bobble hats and the Matterhorn fleece-lined wool hat. Swole Panda makes organic cotton beanies in navy, black, olive and mustard, Shinjuku Lanes makes ribbed beanies in flecked colours, and LAW Design Studio makes a lambswool beanie. Sutsu makes organic Fisherman, Long Haul and Harbour beanies. A beanie also makes an easy Christmas stocking filler.

Bucket hats and care

Komodo makes organic cotton and reversible denim bucket hats, and Faith in Nature makes a recycled bucket hat. Hand wash caps and wool hats in cool water, reshape them while damp and dry them flat. Avoid the tumble dryer, which shrinks wool and bends brims. Store caps on a shelf or hook rather than squashed in a drawer, so the brim keeps its shape. Men's Coats has wool jackets, Hats has more hats, Scarves has winter scarves, and Is wool sustainable? The honest answer looks at how wool compares.
