The wool cap appears to be a mixed bag in terms of quality and performance. Many customers found it comfortable, warm, and stylish, describing it as a classic winter accessory. However, some reported issues with the fit, such as the hat being too large or the ear flaps not providing enough coverage. Additionally, a few customers felt the hat was not as warm as expected, especially considering the price. While the consensus is that the hat is well-made, the sizing and fit can be inconsistent, so customers recommend carefully measuring their head and reading reviews to determine the best size.
Bought this hat because it was on sale and it has turned out to be my favorite hat ever, in fact I'm sad to have to put it away for summer. It's so comfortable I even wore it indoo

Disappointed
No structure and poor quality fabric. The ear flaps don’t cover your ears snugly and they stick out like wings when you flip them up. Lastly, there is an LL Bean logo front and cen

Runs very large, just OK
I normally wear an XL hat or helmet, and I would consider the large (L) hat that I ordered and received to be an XXL, way too large to be comfortable or useful in cold weather with

Hat poorly designed and made
Hat is not deep enough. Flaps should stay inside hat until wanted

Fits like a glove... actually it's a cap
I'm very pleased with the Hunter's Cap. I'm not a hunter, but my exposed ears in the cold weather are not protected by my regular caps which block out the sunlight. This cap is wel

Wish they had a scarf to match
I really like this hat. Malone color primaloft plaid. I wish they had a scarf to match or maybe a coat. Better yet a vest. .

Poor Quality
The material is thin, and the ear flaps did not adequately keep my ears warm. This is not the LL Bean quality I have come to expect. Very disappointed and returning the item.

Not Worth the Price
Okay hat but not worth the price paid. Very cheaply made. Not up to the quality you would expect from LL Bean.

Good fit, warm
Bought to replace beanie, this thing is extremely warm. Only complaint / suggestion I have is it’d be nice if there was a way to secure the flap when folded up

ELMER FUDD saves the COLD DAY!
The weather last fall was so cold. My father and grand father both owned this hat. I have always liked its shape and traditional red/black check. I knew it was wool and knew it

Comfy! Feels great on. Not quite as warm as I had hoped, that’s really my only problem with it. Very well-made and nice to wear!
