Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Fiddler Fisherman Cap: Choose this if you want an on-trend fisherman-style cap with decorative details like a short, curved visor, a front braided cord attached with brass-toned buttons, and a low-profile crown in a herringbone or plaid fabric. Reviewers describe it as stylish, well made, and comfortable for daily wear, though one notes the listed sizes could be specified more precisely, so fit when ordering without trying it on is not guaranteed. It comes in black, Ivory/Cream Beige, and brown in small and medium, with materials varying by colorway—100% cotton in assorted colors and 50% wool, 50% polyester in the plaid style, both with a 100% polyester lining.[1,2,3] | Vintage Trucker Cap: Choose this for a rugged and structured fit, utilizing a front panel and visor constructed from 100% polyester for durability. It features a breathable cream mesh insert, a padded inner band, and is available with a snapback closure, often presented in cream with a bright blue printed graphic.[4,5,6,7] | Forget The Cowboy Embroidered Cap: Choose this for a structured, six-panel cap made of 100% cotton, featuring the detailed 'FORGET THE COWBOY' embroidery. It offers an adjustable snapback closure and includes a small, padded inner band for comfort. Note that the slightly curved rigid visor is made from a Bureo NetPlus design utilizing recycled fishing nets.[8,9,10,11] |

Well made and comfortable
True to size, comfortable, nice materials :)
Love my hat
Fits great, and super stylish!
Fetching Fiddler Fisherman Cap!
This is my 4th of these caps — all from Simons, all made by Brixton. I get size M as I have a biggish head and they are loose enough where they don’t compress my hair and give me hat head. Lovely quality and such fun to wear.
Misled!
I ordered a Size Small thinking it would fit my small head, but when I received the two hats, I saw that they were a size Medium!, and 1 inch bigger than my head measurements. Simons should be more precise about their hat sizes!
