What is not always clear is why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We list below some points what can determine the price:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rarity of material: cotton, for example, is cheaper than suede because it is easy to obtain and process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Labor intensive or complex to make: Something not always obvious or often overlooked is all the details and finishes that can add to the price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brand: With some you determine a little extra for the name, but brands give the assurance of quality. So the price may be higher overall, but you can have more peace of mind that you are not buying a cat in the bag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Design: some designs are more difficult to produce, which increases the cost of production.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now I want to emphasize that the highest price is not always the best option. This depends purely on what you are looking for or need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you like having a hat that lasts a long time and is not shrink-sensitive? Then choose one in hair felt (generally more expensive than wool).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want a sturdy hat that can take a beating? Then hats in wool are also an excellent choice and you will also save you money at once.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading11807_3e61d5-c2, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading11807_3e61d5-c2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading11807_3e61d5-c2\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading11807_3e61d5-c2

img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading11807_3e61d5-c2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading11807_3e61d5-c2\"]

also do recommend not just choosing the cheapest if you really really need a particular model.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Picture this: Your <strong>dermatologist recommends a hat<\/strong> because your hair is thinning and you can <strong>&#8216;t effectively rub<\/strong> the scalp in that spot because of the hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have two options to choose from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Option A (More expensive, \u20ac50 more):<\/strong> Provides <strong>additional UV protection<\/strong> and is <strong>breathable<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Option B (Cheaper):<\/strong> Provides <strong>less protection<\/strong> and is <strong>warmer<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which one would you choose?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, the choice is clear: I would choose the hat that <strong>actually and optimally protects<\/strong> me, even if it is more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, in a different context, the cheaper option may be the best choice, but <strong>always choose what is best for your particular situation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"

looking for or need.

They try on a model and think that a hat or cap <strong>must stretch<\/strong> to fit properly. (Don&#8217;t worry, I used to think this too!)  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is actually the <strong>worst advice<\/strong> you can give yourself. Imagine buying shoes that clip or pinch. Are you going to enjoy wearing them? Or will you get annoyed after a while and stop putting them on because of the pain and discomfort?   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You run <strong>that<\/strong> exact <strong>same<\/strong> risk with a hat or cap that you buy too small. Some people even get <strong>a headache<\/strong> from it, and of course you get that (indeed: <strong>silly<\/strong>) stripe on your forehead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My tip? Take a size wider. Then the hat falls <strong>nicely over your head<\/strong> instead of <strong>sitting on it<\/strong>. Not only does that look better, it wears much more comfortably.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;But what if it&#8217;s windy when the hat is a little loose?&#8221; I can hear you thinking now. (Yes, I can read minds \ud83d\ude09 ). <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, I think it&#8217;s a little <strong>unnecessary<\/strong> to worry about that. After all, it doesn&#8217;t blow 24\/7. And I always say: <strong>when the wind really wants it, everything blows away.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here in Antwerp, we&#8217;ve even seen scaffolding flying off construction sites, so of course a hat can blow away (even if it&#8217;s tight). That&#8217;s why I think it&#8217;s more important for a hat to be <strong>comfortable<\/strong>. Otherwise we wouldn&#8217;t wear it, right? Comfort first!   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"http:\/\/www.harborofmen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/boy-playing-with-toy-wind-turbine-outdoors-2022-01-18-23-53-43-utc-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"a hat can always blow away\" class=\"wp-image-11831\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.harborofmen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/boy-playing-with-toy-wind-turbine-outdoors-2022-01-18-23-53-43-utc-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.harborofmen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/boy-playing-with-toy-wind-turbine-outdoors-2022-01-18-23-53-43-utc-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.harborofmen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/boy-playing-with-toy-wind-turbine-outdoors-2022-01-18-23-53-43-utc-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.harborofmen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/boy-playing-with-toy-wind-turbine-outdoors-2022-01-18-23-53-43-utc-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.harborofmen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/boy-playing-with-toy-wind-turbine-outdoors-2022-01-18-23-53-43-utc-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.harborofmen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/boy-playing-with-toy-wind-turbine-outdoors-2022-01-18-23-53-43-utc-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.harborofmen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/boy-playing-with-toy-wind-turbine-outdoors-2022-01-18-23-53-43-utc-930x620.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<style>.kadence-column11807_73ff54-af > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column11807_73ff54-af > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column11807_73ff54-af > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column11807_73ff54-af > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column11807_73ff54-af > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column11807_73ff54-af > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column11807_73ff54-af{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column11807_73ff54-af > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column11807_73ff54-af > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column11807_73ff54-af\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading11807_bbd923-60, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading11807_bbd923-60[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading11807_bbd923-60\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading11807_bbd923-60 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading11807_bbd923-60[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading11807_bbd923-60\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading11807_bbd923-60 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading11807_bbd923-60[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading11807_bbd923-60\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 id=\"conclusie\" class=\"kt-adv-heading11807_bbd923-60 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading11807_bbd923-60\">CONCLUSION: The best hat for you is the one you like to wear.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you do decide to go to a hat store, these Finding the ideal hat or cap requires some consideration.
