About this design

Two people can stand in the same room and not be in the same place. One hears the hum of the lights, one notices the pattern in the carpet, one is three conversations ahead. None of them is wrong about what's there. Different minds see different worlds, and the view from yours is worth keeping.

Fabric & care

Specification

  • 100% pre-shrunk cotton twill
  • 6-panel, unstructured, low profile
  • adjustable hook-and-loop closure

Care

Wash
By hand, in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Machine washing can pull the crown out of shape and damage the stitching.
Dry
Air dry in shape. Not in the dryer.
Iron
No — and never over the stitching.
Bleach
No.
Expect
The distressed finish is deliberate, and it softens further with washing. Spot-clean with a damp cloth between washes.

Good to know

  • A new print can smell faintly of vinegar, or carry a pale mark from the pre-treatment. Both wash out.
  • Keep it out of direct sunlight before that first wash — the pre-treatment can sun-stain, and that doesn’t come out.
  • No fabric softener. It dulls the print.
  • On embroidery, iron around the stitching rather than over it. We’ve washed ours repeatedly and they’ve held up.

These are the garment’s own measurements, not body sizes — and one maker’s medium isn’t another’s, so it’s worth a look before you choose. Soft fabrics never cut quite identically, so allow a little either way.

Adjustable at the back with a hook-and-loop strap. Measure round your head with a soft tape about 1 in (2.5 cm) above your ears.

How this one fits

Distressed Dad Hat

A soft, unstructured six-panel cap in cotton twill, with a deliberately distressed brim and crown. Low profile, with no stiffening in the front panel, so it sits close and shapes to the head rather than standing up. Adjusts at the back to fit 19–22 in (48–56 cm).

Cut

One size, adjustable at the back from 19 to 22 in (48–56 cm). Low profile, so it sits closer to the head than a structured baseball cap.

Sensory notes

  • Soft crown — no buckram stiffening in the front panel.
  • Adjustable hook-and-loop strap at the back, which can catch on long hair.
  • Distressed brim and crown, so the edges are frayed on purpose.
  • Six sewn eyelets and six stitched rows on the brim.
  • On an embroidered design, the reverse of the stitching has some texture inside.

    “I can make a statement without shouting”

    Read the full review

    This was gifted to me, and it’s now my favorite top. It works as a layering piece over t-shirts and vests, and is particularly good for after a workout or run. It’s very soft, nice color, and the badge is really well made. No one has mentioned it either and I like that I can make a statement without shouting. It’s original. I’m pleased.

    “Neither of us had seen anything like it before.”

    Read the full review

    I bought this for my friend who has recently been diagnosed ADHD. She doesn’t know what to do with the news, so i thought the idea of it being complicated would resonate with her. She was over the moon. Neither of us had seen anything like it before. This is just after she washed it to test the embroidery so it's a bit creased, but the embroidery stayed true.

    It’s a comfort colors T-shirt. I have a few already, as I like the feel and the colors are more modern than other brands, and have that lived-in feeling. They remind me of tees I had at college years ago, comfy, relaxed, and easy to wear. Just pick up off the floor and put it on :) recommend.

    “It’s soft and smooth; the embroidery is subtle.”

    Read the full review

    This was a gift from someone who knows me well. It’s very nice. It’s soft and smooth; the embroidery is subtle. The off-white, cream colour is also very handy. I live in a hot place, so I need tees that work with lighter colours too. I would buy more.
