Fine-tuning the fit at the back
When the cap feels a touch loose, you can adjust the fit using the narrow fabric strap at the rear opening. The strap runs through a metal slide and tucks back, letting you fine-tune how the cap sits. It is made in the same faded material as the rest of the cap, so the adjustment stays low-profile.[2]
