Choosing a Sun Hat Pattern

"Sun hats" are essential for protecting against strong summer sunlight ☀️
UV protection is a particular concern.

The truth is, the effectiveness of sun protection can vary greatly depending on factors like the "brim length," "material," and "color" of a hat!

UV Cut Varies with Brim Length
According to one survey, the sun protection rates are as follows:

  • Cap Type

    7cm brim → approximately 60% cut

    10cm brim → approximately 70% cut

    Hat Type

    7cm brim → approximately 70% cut

    10cm brim → approximately 90% cut

This means a brim of 7cm or more is a guideline for UV protection!
10cm offers considerable peace of mind, but
while bigger might seem better, balance is also important, isn't it?

👒 For Petite Individuals: Prioritize Balance

For petite individuals, an overly large brim can make it seem like the hat is wearing them...
In such cases, choosing a brim of around 8-9cm is recommended for a neat and sleek look 😊

The Charm of Sun Visors

Sun visors are breathable and airy because the top of the head is open.
Even when made as a hat version, the part that goes over the head is single-layered, allowing it to be worn gently over the head. This makes it cooler than other hats and reduces constriction, making it comfortable and less stuffy for long periods ✨

Material Tips

  • In summer, washable materials are definitely a plus!

    Cotton/Linen: Absorbent and gentle on the skin.

  • Polyester Blend: Wrinkle-resistant and maintains its shape well.

  • For the lining where it touches the head, natural materials with good breathability such as cotton are recommended.

🎨 Tips for Choosing Colors

  • Dark colors (black, navy, dark grey):
     Highly effective at blocking UV rays, recommended for thorough sun protection.

  • Light colors (white, beige, etc.):
     The appeal is that they brighten up your complexion ✨
     However, as they are more permeable to UV rays, using interfacing with UV-cut processing is ideal.
