The waxed cotton cap with a wool lining is a versatile product that effectively keeps the head warm and dry in cold, wet weather. Customers praised the high quality and durability of the cap, noting the water-repellent properties of the waxed cotton exterior and the good insulation provided by the wool lining. However, some users found the waxing less effective than expected, requiring them to re-wax the cap. There were also a few concerns about the sizing not fitting properly.
Purchased cap last summer and hardly wear it as it is too small. Material seems ok however like most Bean products of late it's cheapened up.

Quality hat. I think they run small.
It is a quality hat, with great thermal lining. I am a bit of a hat snob, and I would buy it again. Although, I have only small gripe - either my head is a bit big, or they run sma

great 3 season cap
Well made, water-repellent, not overly warm. Fits a little more snugly than a regular baseball cap because of the wool lining, but otherwise sits well on the head. The loden is a

Looking good in the rain and wind.
A little leery of waxed clothing but it's just the thing to wear in the rain, under my hood. The olive color is great.

Wool color leaks through
This hat is breathable and regulates temperature well, but unfortunately the red leaks through to the tan. I’ve only worn it a week with light rain and it looks not so great.

Great hat!
This is a great hat, fits well (not too deep), looks good and the combo of waxed canvas and wool keeps my bald head warm but not to the point of overheating.
