If you’re a fan of Duck Dynasty you may know that Phil Robertson played college football at Louisiana Tech, starting ahead of Terry Bradshaw.

A hat is an important accessory for many people. There are many types, designs and styles to choose from. However, no matter what type of hat you choose it will not look good unless it is the perfect fit. Fitting your head for a hat is no different than fitting yourself for a pair of shoes. You would not buy a size 8 if your foot is a 9 right? This is why measuring your head to ensure a proper fit is so important.

There are three basic steps when it comes to measuring your head for a hat.

Step 1: Take a cloth measuring tape and place it around your head. The tape should begin at the center of your forehead and wrapped around completely until the other end meets the tip in the middle of your forehead.

Step 2: Be sure to hold the beginning part of the measuring tape and wrap in around your head slowly and deliberately. Wrap the measuring tape right above your ears as this is where the bottom of the hat will sit. Once you make it all the way around, write down the measurement.

Step 3: Look at a measurement chart for hats to convert the size you wrote down to the standard hat sizes. This will allow you to choose the size that is perfect for your head. For example, if your head size is 21 ½ inches, your hat size will be 6 ¾ inches or small. If head measures 25 inches then you hat size will be 7 7/8^th or extra extra large.

If you want to double check your size or you do not have a measuring tape, take a piece of yarn or string and wrap it around your head. Then take the yarn and measure it against a tape measure or ruler to ensure that your initial measurement is accurate. And this is how to get the right hat size for your head!

Hunters everywhere know Mossy Oak camouflage. It's one of the most recognizable outdoor lifestyle brands for hunting hats. Mossy Oak camo cap patterns help hunters blend in perfectly from duck hunting in a marsh to big game hunting in the mountains and everything in between. There are several camo styles including caps, beanies, and bucket hats, and several camo patterns to fit your needs all year round.

Mossy Oak Break Up or MOBU has a natural tree bark background with oak limbs and deep shadows. MOBU is an all around camouflage pattern for wooded and marshy areas to blend in with trees, branches, and leaves.

Mossy Oak Obsession is similar to MOBU but has a lighter background and more green tones. This makes it great for spring and summer hunting season, including bowhunting, for turkeys and ducks.

Mossy Oak Treestand is popular with hunters in elevated positions and platforms. The bare tree limb base pattern is perfect for hunting white tails in the fall season.

Mossy Oak Duck Blind is a favorite pattern for duck and goose hunting. Wet and dry dirt colors combine with grasses, oats, and stalks for blending in while hunting in fields, marshes, riverbanks, reeds, and bottom lands.

Mossy Oak Brush will help you disappear in open ranges including mountains, foothills, and ridge lands. Brush is a popular camo cap with big game hunters and has a base pattern of dirt and grass.

Though many hats are designed for fashion, the most practical reason for wearing hats is sun protection. Exposing your skin to the rays of the sun can be extremely damaging. Even when you apply sunscreen, the face, ears and scalp are often either forgotten about or not ever considered. These are important areas and can easily develop burns or even skin cancer. Wearing a hat can help protect these sensitive areas, keeping them safe from possible damage. However, you should of course wear sun block in addition to a protective hat.

When looking for the perfect hat for the most sun protection, ideally you should look for one that has a wide brim. Standard baseball caps will give you some protection, as will visors but a wide brim hat will give your head and face fuller coverage. A brim will keep the sun off your face, ears and neck. For men or women with short hair consider a cap with a neck flap that covers the back of you neck too.  That is an area that is hard to cover with sunscreen and can easily get burned.

Most importantly you should find a hat that is comfortable, fits well and looks good so you'll be more inclined to wear it while exercising outdoors, sitting on the sidelines at a game or even while running errands. So, take care in choosing your sun hat and remember that there is one more excellent reason to wear a wide brimmed sun protector – you do not have to worry too much about fixing your hair; it will be covered by your stylish and protective new hat!

There are a few basic things to consider when deciding on fitted or adjustable caps. Lets be clear on the major differences.

Adjustable caps have a mechanism on the back to adjust the size and fit of the cap and also have an opening in the fabric above the mechanism. Most adjustable caps are “one size fits most.” Adjustable caps are usually cheaper than fitted caps. 

Lots of people like to adjust the size of their hats depending on different uses. For example they make their hats tighter when running in windy conditions.

Parents and coaches like adjustable hats for their teams (little league, softball, etc.) because they don't have to worry about measuring and sizing each team member's head.

Also, lots of women (and men) with long hair prefer adjustable hats because they can put their hair in a ponytail and stick it through the back opening of the cap which makes sports and other activities more comfortable.

What are the different types of adjustable caps?

• Plastic Snap

• Hook/Loop Tape (Velcro)

• Tuck Strap With Slide Buckle

• Self Strap Metal Buckle

• D-Fit

• Nylon Clip 

Fitted caps have no mechanism to adjust the size of the cap and have closed backs, with no opening. They come in different sizes (XS to XXL depending on the item) and have stretchable fabric that wraps around your head. You should measure your head to make sure you get the best fit…like any other type of fitted clothing.

Who wears fitted caps?

Teams and leagues love fitted hats as part of their uniforms because of the tailored, clean look.

Fashion oriented sports enthusiasts and individuals (including many celebrities) also like fitted caps because of their clean look and higher quality appearance…especially with flat visors or brims that have a more urban look.

And last but not least, bald guys LOVE fitted caps Vs. adjustable caps...so they don't get sun burns like this!
