Our take · Researched, not tested

A brown ivy cap with a slightly shorter bill and a flat crown.

By Walt Mercer, felt, fit and care desk Pen name, fact-checked by our team

The Jude is a close cousin of the classic flat cap, with a short 1 7/8 in brim that sits close to the face. It is brown wool felt, flat on top, and an inner drawstring sweatband adjusts the fit. It is imported. Wear it with a corduroy jacket on a crisp afternoon, or with a cardigan for a quiet weekend in town.

Walt's tip: Flat caps stay on best when they're snug. Tighten the drawstring before you head into the wind.

Questions

Which size of the Jude should I get?

Measure your head where the hat sits and match it to the chart. MD fits heads 22 to 22 3/4 in (56 to 57 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. XL fits heads 23 5/8 to 24 1/4 in (60 to 61 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, American Hat Makers says to size up and use the foam insert it includes.

Is the Jude enough for sun?

Not on its own. A cap or peak shades your eyes but leaves your ears and neck exposed, as MD Anderson points out. Add sunscreen, or pick a brimmed hat for long days outside.

How do you care for a felt hat like this?

A soft brush after dusty days, a rest on its crown, and no hot cars. If it gets rained on, shake it off, turn the sweatband down and let it air-dry at room temperature.

What if it doesn't fit?

American Hat Makers states 90-day easy returns (per American Hat Makers, as stated on their site Nov 6, 2026). Check the store's current policy before you buy; its page is the final word.
