FAQs
Is this hat one-size-fits-all?
Yes, it features an elasticated back designed to accommodate most head sizes comfortably.
Can this cap be machine washed?
Yes, it is designed for durability and is safe for standard machine washing.
Does it offer full hair coverage?
It is a skull cap style and provides less coverage than a full-sized toque or hairnet.
Will it keep me cool?
The lightweight construction is specifically designed to promote airflow and prevent heat buildup.
Is the material flame retardant?
While durable for professional kitchen use, it is not rated as flame-retardant safety gear.
Troubleshooting
The cap feels too tight
Ensure the elasticated back is positioned at the base of the skull rather than pulling it too high up the back of the head.
Fabric color fading
Wash the cap in cold or lukewarm water and avoid using chlorine bleach to preserve the blue dye.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your skull cap maintains its shape and color, wash it with like-colored garments using standard culinary laundry detergents. The elasticated band does not require any adjustment; simply slide it on and ensure the band is positioned around the crown of the head for the most secure fit. Avoid using harsh bleach, which may fade the blue fabric over time. If the cap becomes soiled, it is machine washable, though air drying is recommended to extend the life of the elastic components.
