SNAPBACK SIZING

Our Snapback hats are true-to-size based on the child's age. What this means is the average sized kid--about 50% on the growth charts--is used as the barometer for head circumference. If you have a child whose age fits evenly between the ranges (4months-12months, 12months-3 years, 3years-6years) or you know is larger than average, it might be best to size up rather than to size down.

Snapback hats are adjustable in the back. The bill and front panels are not.

SUN HAT SIZING

If you have a child whose age fits evenly between the ranges (4months-12months, 12months-3 years, 3years-6years) or you know is larger than average, it might be best to size up rather than to size down.

(Remember, the Barney Patrol sun hat is 100% natural straw. Dried straw is DELICATE and can be broken if bent or smashed. If your Barney Patrol hat is soaked in water and dried it will become more brittle than before—avoid if possible. Only spot rinse while cleaning.)
