Bright, breezy, and full of Midwest sunshine, the Head in the Clouds • Chicago Hat captures the spirit of the Windy City on a perfect summer day.

Inspired by the endless blue skies and the shimmer of Lake Michigan, this hat features “CHICAGO” embroidered in soft butter yellow bubble lettering across a sky-blue cotton cap. It’s a cheery, everyday essential for those who love the city, and the friendly people in it.

Whether you’re wandering around the Garfield Park Conservatory, ice skating in Millenium Park, or daydreaming under a cloud-spotted sky, this hat is your wearable reminder of where your head, and your heart, belongs.

SIZE •

• The short answer is this hat is One-Size-Fits Most and includes an adjustable strap that is tucked into the interior of the hat for a fitted feel

• The long answer is that a few years ago I learned that Asian heads are shaped differently. So my entire life I have been under the impression that I had a large head - in reality, it is simply differently shaped which is why free novelty hats, and hats I would try on at the hat store in the mall (you know which one) never fit me.
  
  I learned about this in my SAT (Subtle Asian Traits) Facebook Group where they talked about snowboarding helmets. (I know, but I warned you that this was the long answer before you even started reading this!) So when I started researching hats I bought 13 different hats to see which one fit the best. Because the fact of the matter is that I wanted to sell a hat, it was going to fit my head. And if it fit my head, it would also fit almost everyone else's heads too.
