Frequently Asked Questions

What are your 2026 Christmas last posting dates? 🎄

We always encourage everyone to order early, but for those last minute shoppers the final dates for guaranteed pre-Christmas 2026 delivery are:

UK - 22nd December
Europe - 14th December
USA - 11th December
Worldwide - 10th December

We will be dispatching orders everyday until 3PM on the 23rd December, when we will close for Christmas.

Do you offer extended returns dates for Christmas?

As standard we offer a 30 day return policy for all physical items.

Any items purchased between 14th November 2026 and 31st December 2026 will have an extended returns period until 31st January 2027.

Will I have to pay any tariffs, import duty or extra tax?

All orders in the UK, USA, Canada and the European Union will not be subject to any further taxes, duties or tariffs before delivery.

For USA orders, our prices include tariffs and duties.  These will be paid by us prior to shipment.  So there is nothing extra for USA customers to pay and your parcel will be delivered quickly and stress free.

For UK, USA, Canada and the European Union the price you see on the screen at checkout will be the final price you will pay. In the unlikely event of you being charged, please get in touch and we will resolve the issue with the carrier. 

For the rest of the world, any customs or import duties are charged once the parcel reaches the destination country. You may be charged for handling fees and taxes as your order passes through customs. Any charges on a parcel must be paid by the customer. We have no control over these charges and we can't tell you what the cost would be, as customs policies and import duties vary widely from country to country. We recommend contacting your local customs office before placing an order so you are not surprised by any charges you were not expecting.

Currently orders are tax free to Australia up to £585 and New Zealand up to £505. So any orders under these amounts will not attract any further charges.

Do you part ship orders that contain pre-order items?

For UK orders we'll part ship your order, as items arrive in stock. So if you pre-order an item with an in-stock item then they will ship separately.

For international orders, we'll ship your complete order when everything is in stock.

When will my order be dispatched?

We aim to dispatch all orders within 24 hours Monday to Friday. If an order is placed on Saturday or Sunday, it will be dispatched the following Monday.

Do you ship to my country?

We ship to most countries in the world. If you have any issues at the checkout page where it says we do not ship to you then please get in touch via the chat feature.

We ship to these countries almost everyday
USA - Australia - New Zealand - Germany - Netherlands - Norway - Sweden - France - Spain - Italy - Ireland - Canada and many more!

I have a big head. Will your hats fit me?

All caps have the same circumference (58cm) and are all adjustable to fit most head sizes.

The depth of the hat varies for each different style so if you feel you have a particularly large head then stick with the Getting It Done, OG, PB or Bucket Hats. 

We have a section with hats for people with larger heads here.

I have a small head. Will your hats fit me?

All caps have the same circumference (58cm) and are all adjustable to fit most head sizes.

The depth of the hat varies for each different style so if you feel you have a small head, then we'd recommend the Ben Parkes, or legend hat!

We have a section with hats for people with smaller heads here.

What is your return policy?

You are welcome to send back any item unworn, within 30 days of receiving it for a full refund or exchange.

UK returns and exchanges are free and should be submitted via the returns portal here.

For international returns please contact us via the chat feature and will be send you the return address.

What delivery services are offered internationally?

All international orders are shipped via Royal Mail to the destination country and then passed onto the national carrier of that country. For example in the USA it will be passed on to USPS, La Poste in France, Deutsche Post in Germany and Australia Post in Australia. 

All international orders are shipped with tracking, so you can always see where your package is.

We also offer Fedex and UPS in some countries for express shipping.

Love this!

Quality - excellent
Size - comfortable, bought a medium and it will be great in the colder months
Delivery - super speedy

Pleased I got a second chance to purchase!

I missed out on one these before Christmas because my size (XS) sold out, but I jumped at the chance two weeks ago when I noticed there were available again. Perfect for a rest day or for post race relaxation!
The only thing to note is that it’s bigger than the original XS Navy “Rest Day” sweatshirt that I bought a couple of years ago. I would have preferred it a bit closer fitting, like that (I’m a UK 10-12), but I’m happy with it and it matches the colour of my “in it for the long run” t-shirt!
Recommended :-)
