Dorfman Pacific Outback Hat

Details:

• Built for function, this imported outdoorsmen hat is 52% cotton for breathability in the heat and 48% polyester for increased strength and wrinkle- and tear-resistance.
• PROPER PROTECTION – This old western hat isn’t just for show. With a UPF 50+ rating, this brown outdoor hat provides premium protection against harmful ultraviolet rays.
• With an interior brow band and lining that absorbs sweat, you don’t need to worry about drenching your hat with perspiration on a hot day. The band and lining also provide a smooth surface to avoid skin irritation.
• This broad 2.7” rim is shapeable to provide you with the exact kind of shade you need. Give yourself 360 degrees of shade, or bend the brim how you want for maximum comfort and protection of your face, ears, and nape.
• This hat can protect against more than just the sun. Wind, rain, and Mother Nature’s other woes can strike at any time too, but an adjustable chin strap ensures your hat stays put no matter what.

Sizing:

Measure Your Head

When it comes to finding the right hat, size matters. Properly measuring your head size will determine your hat size and help you get the perfect fit. The best hat will not only look good, but it will feel good. Before you buy your hat, make sure to measure your head and look at our size chart.

How to Measure Your Head

To measure your head size, all you need is either a measuring tape.

• Wrap the tape measure around the largest part of your head until the two ends meet at the center of your forehead just above your eyebrows. Firmly hold the tape mid-forehead with your finger, not too tightly or too loose.
• The goal is to determine precisely where your hat will sit for the most comfortable fit. Take note of the measurement from your measuring tape and use it to find your corresponding size on our hat sizing chart.

Sizing Tips

• If your measurement is in between sizes on the hat size chart, choose the next larger size.
• Even though our hat sizes are standard across the USA, there are various factors that can affect the fit of the hat, from the hat’s material to how much hair you have. This is all the more reason to go a size up – a slightly roomier hat is much more comfortable and easier to pad than a hat that’s too tight and gives you a headache.
• Don’t worry if you have a big head. We have large hats to help provide the perfect size for you from XXL to XXXL (many of our men’s hats come in XL already).

The Difference Between Men’s and Women’s Hats

• Men’s hats are generally sized numerically or alphabetically, although there are some men’s hats that come in one size fits most. These “one size” hats fit heads with a circumference of 21½” to 23” (medium to large).
• Women’s hat sizing is often one size fits most: the style is made in a standard size with the ability to suit head sizes ranging from 21½” to 22¼” in circumference. While actual hat sizes may vary, many of these “one size” women’s hats come with an inner drawstring or band that can be adjusted to keep the hat in place.

Hat Alteration Options

• Most “one size” hats for men and women come with an inner drawstring that allows you to adjust the fit. These inner drawstrings are usually found stitched into the sweatband itself with an extended piece of string or ribbon that you can tug. Pull gently to adjust the fit, which can tighten the hat up to two sizes.
• Many hats without inner drawstrings feature bands made of leather, elastic, or foam lining. If this is the case, you can still adjust the fit of the hat with sizing tape. This is the preferred method of adjusting hats because it maintains the shape of the sweatband and inner lining without any damage.
