Nice thick brim
I prefer caps with a thicker brim. The Babama writing on the brim differentiates this cap from others IMO, making it unique, even among other caps with thick brims.As others have said, the adjustment band doesn't tuck in for a cleaner look, so had to take a star. I just cut mine off with kitchen scissors, issue solved.Will buy again.

Good, with Caveats
I have mostly good things to say about this hat.First, obviously, it's white. If you're looking at this hat, perhaps you, like me, realize that dark colored hats are the worst in the summer sun. I live in the desert and I'm always looking for light colored caps to wear. This is my first white one, but only because it's the first one I've found that didn't have something printed on it I didn't want to wear.Instead it has this magnificently ambiguous logo that looks like, perhaps, a stylized big horn sheep. Maybe it's the Dodge logo on a very bad hair day. Maybe it's a sea gull in a tornado. Maybe it's the letter M on some powerful medication. Who knows? The important part is, my head is not a billboard for some company I don't care about. It always irks me to pay for the privilege of having them advertise on my head. It should be the other way around. You want to use that space, random company? Ok, then lease it.The logo itself is plastic adhered to the hat, so presumably even that generic thing could be removed if you wanted. The brim is stiff and thick (and is bent the way it's going to stay) and if you look carefully, on the brim's edge, the hat company's name does appear, but it almost entirely illegible and certainly would be from a couple of feet away. So no issue there.The hat is 100% cotton. It's cool and comfortable and breathes well. Which brings me to my first hesitation. The label says do not wash, dry clean only, no bleach. Um, I'm not going to dry clean a cotton ball cap. What kind of fancy operation do you think I'm running here, Babama? This white cotton hat is going to get dirty, and when it does, I'm going to try to wash it in the machine. Maybe even hand wash it. We'll see how that goes. But dry clean only? No, I have no use for a cap that can't even get wet, thanks. There's going to be a lot of sweat on this, for starters.The other irritation is the adjustable band, the extra length of it, has nowhere to tuck into. Normally there's a slot in the hat where you tuck in the excess band that protrudes past the adjustment clip. On this hat, that extra band just freelances on the back of the hat like some kind of vestigial tail.These are minor to me, so far, because the hat is well made, fit and finish are excellent, that hardware is great... this is premium cap. I'm definitely impressed.

Very nice but not washable
I have several baseball/trucker/dad caps. Some of them, like this Babama, are 100% cotton. I find the cotton ones much nicer-looking and nicer to wear. This one seems much more of a baseball cap than some of my others with a pronounced peak to the top.It is a "snap-back" cap, which means that it is "one-size-fits-all." It has two fabric strips and a metal buckle that can be tightened or loosened to easily adjust the cap's circumference. I have a pretty big head. I measured it at the hat line with a piece of cord at 23.5 inches. This cap worked fine for me with more than an inch and half of overlap of the fabric bands. Unfortunately, there is no little pocket into which that excess can be tucked at the back of the cap.The Babama is made up of six triangular twill-like fabric panels sewn together. The front two are extra stiff to help the hat keep its shape. I thought those two panels and the pre-curved brim were too stiff because they kept the cap's headband pressing uncomfortably into my forehead no matter how I adjusted the cap. I'm hoping it's just a "break-in" issue. I've not experienced this before with any of my other caps.The cap is a beautiful, bright white but it can't be washed! The care instructions say dry clean only.I don't like to wear clothing manufacturers' advertising but this cap has a small, black plastic "M" shaped logo affixed to the front. However, it's small and easily ignored. The cap comes in a nice, cardboard box suitable for gifting.

Nice Cap, But White Color Will Be Hard to Maintain
This fashionable cap has a tapered visor and is very stylish. It arrived in a protective hat box. That was cool.The sweatband inside is sufficiently thick and absorbent. The gothic-looking "M" applique on the front of the cap is unique.The cap comes with general maintenance instructions that don't seem specific to the product: "Avoid rain, high temperature, heavy pressure and touch ..." In fact, the instructions mention protecting "the shape of the handbag," so I wouldn't put too much confidence in the care guidance on the tag. I anticipate that the white cotton will be difficult to keep clean. but in the meantime I think it's fine for frequent wear if you're mostly interested in wearing it as a fashion accessory. If you're bold enough to wear it while working or playing, you'll need to stay on top of the maintenance or it will quickly turn dingy.For those of you keeping score, here's the breakdown:Packaging - AComfort - ASizing - AEase of Care - C+Overall Score: B+
