The Stray walks alone — not by force, but by choice. Standing alone, quiet. Moving with precision and purpose, with a story behind those eyes. Inspired by the jagged mark of a dog's bite, the houndstooth pattern represents the balance of grit and grace, loyalty and rebellion. Crafted with a soft, comfortable fabric, subtle earth-toned pattern, suede underbrim, and luxurious gold liner – this cap is streamlined and understated with a refined independence. Where confidence is in the bite, not in the bark.

Frequently Asked Questions
Step 1: Wrap the soft tape, string, or cord around your head above your ears and eyebrows, where your cap usually sits.
Step 2: Double check to make sure the tape comes down far enough at the back of your head, hitting in the right spot.
Step 3: Take note of your measurement in CMs. If using a string or cord, mark where it meets so you can measure it using a traditional tape measure.
Step 4: Refer to the sizing chart above to see where you land.
For our comfort fit flex back caps, we always recommend sizing down. For our fitted caps, size up for a loose fit and size down if you prefer snug. Caps will usually stretch slightly, but rarely do they shrink.
Unfortunately, there is no universal sizing, so a Medium for one brand might be a Small for another. We highly recommend you measure your head to ensure you have an accurate size before ordering from Peaky Hat.
All of our caps are warehoused and shipped directly from Peoria, Illinois. If you place your order Monday through Friday before noon Eastern time, it ships out the exact same day.
We offer a 45-day window for returns and exchanges. Buying a cap online should be rewarding and enjoyable, not a risk. There is a $5 exchange fee and a $10 refund fee. If you ever have an issue, reach out to support@peakyhat.com and Ryan will handle it personally.
Our fabrics are sourced globally—from US mills to Scottish Harris Tweed and UK linens. The final stitching is done by a highly skilled team in Yiwu, China (the same district that produces caps for Stetson and Goorin Bros). We are completely transparent about this because we choose quality over optics, every time.
