Good fitting hat!!!
Wes O. Bellevue, WA |
Love this cap. Have had one for years, and it was time for a new one.
R.O. NC |
Very nice hat.
Robert S. Conroe, TX |
Great look. Great quality. It was a bit snug but has loosened up after about 10 games. Richardson hats always look great.
Cory H. Albuquerque, NM |
Great hat! Size fits accurately and it looks good on the field.
Peter K. State College, PA |
The hat is durable, and the sizing guide was perfect.
Eric P. Austin, TX |
Great hat! I've ordered these in the past and they fit perfectly to size. The Texas sun will bleach the color on this hat over the years. Thus, I ordered 2 in case the color fades a bit. You can wash it in the washing machine and it comes out looking brand new! I love this hat.
Mike T. Farmville, NC |
Size guide was good. Just wish I would have bought a 6-stitch and not a 4-stitch.
Jose P. Chula Vista, CA |
Great Umpire Cap. This Cap does not fade like other hats that I have used in the past and doesn’t slip off my head. They are nice and tight. I recommend this hat to all the umpires that I know. Very good and well made.
James A. Ypsilanti Charter Township, MI |
Best hat I've ever had. Great fit for the first game and the 101st game. Holds its shape and looks great game after game.
Jason H. HARRISBURG, PA |
Great cap! Wore it in all my official games this season and so far, it has stayed the course. Perfect fit, comfortable and handled the abuse. Might need to buy a few more for each league. A+
Patrick M. Albuquerque, NM |
Great fitting hat and it washes very well, looks like new after a cycle through the washer in a cap-keeper-type cage (air dry, of course). I have a few of these and they are well-made, durable, and comfortable to wear. I work in the Southwest and the color stays pretty fast before giving in to the UV, which is inevitable. A great buy and worth the money.
Dallas P. LaGrange, GA |
Great hat!
Steven A. Oneonta, NY |
Well made and comfortable.
Rudy S. Cathedral City, CA |
This cap looks good and fits nicely on my head. I use it when I'm behind the plate or on the bases.
Thomas K. Seatac, WA |
This cap is true to size and feels good!
Laura P. Walkertown, NC |
Cap fits well and is comfortable!
Jeremy H. Utica, OH |
Cap is true-to-size, fits comfortably and looks good. Not flat rolled back kind of hat. It sits nicely on my head and I have a melon.
Dan D. Troy, MO |
Bought to replace my worn out hat. Fits perfect when doing the plate under my mask.
Charlie J. Jourdanton, TX |
Good quality hat. Take to the umpire crown almost without ironing, and stays that way. Too bad I ordered the wrong size. Lol
Antonio F. Dolton, IL |
Nice fit.
Corey R. Oklahoma City, OK |
These fit true to size. Love it super comfortable.
Tony V. Ocean Springs, MS |
Quality item, perfect fit.
Edward Z. East Englewood, FL |
Quality fitted hat. True to size and very comfortable with the mask.
David S. Connecticut |
Ordered 7 5/8. Cap is extremely oversized. More like a 7 3/4 or even an 8. Not happy.
Benjamin B. Brooklyn, NY |
Not a fan.
Anthony S. Pennsauken, NJ |
I love this style cap. It fits great. It's very easy to clean and is the perfect cap for behind the plate. Highly recommend.
James F. Hubbard, TX |
As described, fast shipping, very comfortable. Would buy again.
Todd E. Plattsburgh, NY |
Fits great. Works well with my umpire mask, and not too heavy on the hot days!!
Dean B. Roseburg, OR |
Good quality.
Mark W. Pennsylvania |
Great fit, professional looking and great price. Love these caps!
James L. Augusta, GA |
Great umpire cap.
Scott C. Mesa, AZ |
Great fit and pricing!
Gerald G. Houston, TX |
This cap fits well under my umpire mask. So I got both colors.
Andre W. Lexington, KY |
Really happy with this purchase of the plate cap. Great fit and great pricing.
John M. Elbert, CO |
Very high quality. I always prefer a fitted umpire cap over an adjustable one. These are solid and well constructed. They do tend to run a bit small. I have somewhere around 30 different fitted caps and hats, and I always wear a 6 7/8. With these (I have one black and one navy), the 6 7/8 fits a bit tight. I would recommend going 1/8 inch larger than your normal size.
Earle M. South Mills, NC |
It fits great and fast delivery!!
Donald S. MOUNT JACKSON, VA |
Great hat for the price. I prefer a fitted hat.
Mike M. , Plattsburg |
Excellent product, fit was exactly what I expected.
Gabriel C. Aiken sc |
Great price on great products. Hat fit perfectly.
David B. Hickory, NC |
Perfect fit and comfortable. Recommend this umpire hat to all.
Austin A. Hartsville, SC |
Hat runs a little large and is just as itchy as the wool ones.
Bill H. Springfield , IL |
Love the black color. Matches my new umpire pants and ball bag.
Bryan M. Gastonia, NC |
Wore the hat for the first time last night. Worked 2 games, great fit a definite buy for anyone working.
Ryan A. SC |
Hat fit perfect and customer service was excellent when a small issue arose on my end. Works great for plate or bases. Honestly cannot beat for the price!
Toby Moore Bellingham, WA |
Really comfortable, fits perfectly, great price for a fitted umpire hat!
Nunzio T. Orlando, FL |
Umpire hat is true to size and fits well.
Mike L. New York City, NY |
Hat runs true to size and is a nice fit. Looks good and should last a long time.
Jim R. Green Brook, NJ |
When you umpire, Richardson hats are a must. And Ump-Attire.com is the place for hats and everything you need to look professional. Remember when you walk on the field you only have one chance at that first impression.
Miguel N. Lakewood Ranch, FL |
Top quality product. Highly recommended.
Robert W. Yates City, IL |
Best baseball caps out there, bar none!
Brandon H. Sevierville, TN |
I listened to prior reviews and went with a cap 1/8" smaller than I normally would wear and that was a good call. This umpire cap is perfect for me. I go with the 4 stitch when working the plate to avoid any interference with my mask. This cap is perfect for my needs. I wear a 6 stitch when working the bases. Richardson quality has never let me down.
Travis M. Blanco, TX |
A little big but otherwise great umpire cap.
Chris B. Hammond, IN |
Base hat fits great, comfortable, great umpire hat, no complaints.
Josh L. Muskogee, OK |
In my opinion the hat is slightly too tight. It is a very snug fit. I would have preferred a size larger in the hat. I ordered a 3/8ths which is my size and all my other caps are 3/8ths but this one was a little snug for my comfort. It does fit and I have to pull it down firmly but I would have preferred a larger cap.
Larry M. Rifle, CO |
Great umpire hat! Durable, snug fitting to stay in place, excellent plate hat!
Mike O. Manteca, CA |
Exactly what I was looking for. Was a little worried about buying a fitted hat but fit perfectly. No issues with with umpire mask. A good buy.
Luke J. Fisherville,Ky |
This was a money saver right here. It was great not having to buy a home plate hat and a base hat when there is this hat! Not the most comfortable hat but still works great!
Dave L. Stevensville, MI |
Love everything about the cap. What I love even more is the fitting room from Umpire Attire, the way the fitting room had me choose the correct size for the cap was excellent. Trust what is said in the fitting room.
Tony F. Garden Grove, CA |
Best cap you can get!
Troy T. Chesterfield, VA |
Can't go wrong with these hats!!!!
Maurice C. Sudbury, 0 |
Great hat. It is very cool and the short bill makes it a lot easier to take my mask off without looking like a beanie.
Tommy |
Great hat ... Very well made. They tend to run a little big. I suggest ordering down one size when ordering. Ex. if you wear a 7 3/8 order a 7 1/4 for a more snug fit.
Questions About This Product
Q: | What is the best method to combat browning of this hat? I’ve had mine for maybe 2 months and it has lost its black color and looks more brown than anything. – Richy Arredondo |
A: | Our caps face the brunt of the sunshine when we are on the field and the consequences of long exposure. Periodically washing your cap will keep colors fresh and remove the embedded dirt and sweat that show a faded appearance. Spraying caps with a fabric starch can strengthen the fibers to resist the rays of our sun. – Ty UnthankMarketing Specialist, HS & College Umpire |
Q: | Is the brim sized smaller so it fits under an umpire mask? – Matthew Romeo |
A: | Yes, the brim is smaller than a standard cap in order to fit under your umpire mask. A 4-stitch is the most popular bill size for umpires to use with a mask. – Josh MannPro School Umpire Graduate |
