About the Kids I Love Crabbing Bush Hat
The Kids I Love Crabbing Bush Hat is an embroidered crab bush hat in soft cotton, with a bucket-style shape and a stitched brim all the way round, so it shades the face and the back of the neck better than a cap. The embroidery is bright: a yellow "I", a red "Love" and a light blue "Crabbing", with the embroidered crab sitting in the middle of the word.
Like any children's sun hat, this kids crabbing hat fits by head size, not age, because children's heads vary so much. Measure around the head just above the eyebrows and ears, where the hat will sit, and pick 52cm or 54cm. Between the two? Choose 54cm, as a slightly loose sun hat is better than one that pinches. The navy option is listed as Blue in the colour choice.
Among kids sun hats, its shape makes it as much a kids bucket hat as a bush hat. It's made for a day on the quay or the beach: a cheerful 100% cotton hat with bright embroidery, and the sort of sun hat kids pull on for sunny days by the sea. The NHS advises a wide-brimmed hat that shades the face, neck and ears, plus sun cream of at least SPF30 with a 4-star UVA rating, and shade in the middle of the day. This hat has no UPF rating, and its soft bucket brim shades the face and the back of the neck, so use sun cream on the ears and any skin the brim doesn't cover.
This i love crabbing hat goes well with our crabbing kits, lines and buckets, so you can put together a full crabbing set as a holiday present. If you'd rather have a peak, there's a matching I Love Crabbing baseball cap in the same colours and sizes. You could pair the two: the hat for the beach and the cap for everyday.

FAQs
Questions about the Kids I Love Crabbing Bush Hat
What sizes are available?
Two head sizes: 52cm and 54cm. Measure around your child's head just above the eyebrows and ears, where the hat sits, and choose the size closest to that measurement. If they're between the two, go for 54cm.
What ages do the sizes suit?
We don't have a maker's age chart, and two children of the same age can need different sizes, so we size by head measurement. Measure round the head just above the eyebrows and ears with a soft tape, then choose 52cm or 54cm.
What colours are available?
Navy and pink. The navy is a very dark blue and shows as Blue when you choose a colour. Both have the same bright embroidery: a yellow "I", a red "Love" and a light blue "Crabbing" with a crab.
What is the hat made from?
It's 100% cotton, which makes it soft and light to wear on a warm day. The front design is embroidered, so it won't peel or crack like a print can.
Does it replace sun cream?
No. The NHS advises using several things together: shade between 11am and 3pm from March to October, clothing, a wide-brimmed hat that shades the face, neck and ears, and sun cream of at least SPF30 with 4-star UVA protection.
Is it good for crabbing trips?
Yes, that's what it's for. The bucket shape shades the face and the back of the neck while children lean over the edge with their crab lines, and the bright embroidery suits a seaside day out.
