FAQ

1. Is the brim too stiff or uncomfortable?
   The brim is fully knit and flexible—not a hard bill—so it won’t press into the forehead. Slightly adjust the angle to reduce glare while keeping a close fit.
   
   
2. How warm is it? What conditions is it for?
   Double-layer 100% wool offers excellent thermal insulation for everyday winter use, chilly mountain mornings, and coastal winds. In strong wind, add a shell hood for maximum stability.
   
   
3. Will it feel itchy?
   The soft rib-knit sits comfortably on most skin; if you’re very sensitive to wool, add a thin liner cap or bandana underneath.
   
   
4. Can I wear it under a safety or snow helmet?
   The low-profile rib-knit can serve as a liner; however, the knit visor may press inside some close-fit helmets. Test first or flip the brim up.
   
   
5. How do I style it?
   With a slight up-tilt brim + low over-ear coverage, it pairs well with denim and utility/outdoor jackets for a classic fisherman beanie look—easy with black, olive, or navy outerwear.
   
   
6. How do I wash it without shrinkage or distortion?
   Cold hand wash using a neutral wool detergent; do not wring. Reshape and dry flat in the shade. Avoid machine wash/dry and high heat.
   
   
7. Will it pill? How do I handle pilling?
   Natural wool may pill with friction; use a fabric shaver lightly. Reducing prolonged backpack-strap rubbing helps slow pilling.
   
   
8. What about sizing—will it fit larger heads?
   The one size ribbing has generous stretch to fit larger/smaller heads; you can fold the cuff up to fine-tune ear coverage and fit.
