Headwear FAQ

Common questions about buying headwear through MuleBuy.

Will the embroidery fade in the sun?

Quality embroidery thread is colorfast and should not fade with normal sun exposure. Store caps away from direct sunlight when not in use to maximize color lifespan.

Do beanies stretch out over time?

Acrylic blends retain their shape well. Wool beanies may stretch slightly but can be reshaped after washing. Avoid hanging beanies by the fold to prevent stretching.
