Crafted from durable polyester, this crisp white hat features a classic design highlighted by a blue anchor emblem, providing an authentic touch for school plays, themed parties, or costume events.

Troubleshooting
Hat feels loose on the child's head
Use a small piece of adhesive foam strip inside the inner rim to create a snugger fit.
Hat has become wrinkled during storage
Use a low-heat steamer or hang in a steamy bathroom to gently release wrinkles without touching the iron directly to the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your US Sailor Doughboy Hat lasts throughout the season, follow these simple guidelines:
- Fitting: The hat is sized specifically for children (UK Size 1). Before the event, test for comfort and adjust hair accordingly so the hat rests securely.
- Compatibility: Pair this hat with navy blue or white shirts and trousers to complete the classic US Navy look.
- Maintenance: Because the material is polyester, avoid soaking the hat in water. Use a damp cloth to spot-clean any surface dirt or dust. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white fabric from yellowing over time.
