Our lineup
From caps to hunting caps: the many XL-size shapes
- Cap: neither too shallow nor too deep, easy to wear for both men and women.
- Umpire cap: a compact silhouette with a shorter brim. A design that can also help your face look smaller.
- Casquette: a full crown that naturally covers the shape of the head.
- Hunting cap: creates a flat, grown-up look. Also goes well with classic outfits and jacket styles.
- Work cap: its straight-lined form adds a clean impression.
- Fisherman cap: a well-judged silhouette, neither too shallow nor too deep. Simple yet with presence, it is ideal for street and casual outfits.
Every type is a WORDS original model that combines comfort with design. We plan to keep adding new items available in XL size.

Points to note when choosing a size
If a hat is too big, it is hard to get the balance right
This XL-size series is designed for people with larger heads. For that reason, people with smaller heads or who usually wear S-M size hats may find them a little large.
While the roomy fit is part of the appeal, a hat that is too big for your head makes it hard to get the balance right, so rather than forcing yourself into a larger size, we recommend a hat in the right size for you.
