How to determine how a watch cap is expected to fit?
Looking to try watch caps that end right at the ears or before it.
Aside from trying in store whats a way to determine how a watch cap would fit based on pics?
Most website don’t model their watch caps so doesn’t really help

Like i dont want to look like i forced a beanie into a watch cap (this aint me btw)
really hard to tell based on pics, fit will vary massively depending on your skull
yeah kinda sucks like on the pictures on the websites they look like they can fit ok. But if i google search people wearing them, they look like a beanie
got to try stuff on, and/or figure out how big your head is for reference
damn. Some of the ones I want are on sale online and no physical stores.
Anyway thanks !
Looks like a fisherman beanie? They tend to be shorter/finish above the ears. As historical in ports/ships you wanted to hear stuff around you for safety
You can also email and ask about how the beanie fits. Depending on material/weave beanie fit can be dramatically different. My old Inis Meain merino beanie was extremely snug and barely had any give - the Evan Kinori yak beanie I'm looking at now apparently fits almost like it's elasticated
