Imperial Wrightson Rope Hat Review

Headwear · 8 rounds in my bag

7.8/ 10

The short version

Two holes in with the Imperial Wrightson Rope Hat I knew: it sits on my head without gripping it, and the sweatband actually does its job. A full day in the sun and it never once needed adjusting. The catch: light colours pick up sweat marks that do not fully wash out.

How it played

Straight into the bag for 8 rounds with no easing-in period. What I keep coming back to is that it sits on my head without gripping it, and the sweatband actually does its job. Where it bit me: light colours pick up sweat marks that do not fully wash out — worth knowing before you spend the money.

How it looks

Clean crown, no oversized logo shouting from the front. I care less about that than how it feels, but it does not hurt.

What won me over

the sweatband handles a hot round
the fit stays put in wind
the brim shape survives a wash

Good to know before you buy

it is pricey for a hat
sweat marks show on light colours

My verdict

7.8/10 from me. If you play in the sun and want to look normal doing it, the Imperial Wrightson Rope Hat earns its spot in the bag. If it is pricey for a hat is a dealbreaker for you, keep looking.
