Comfort in Every Size: Discover Imperial’s XL Fit Caps — The XL210P + 2026 Launches
Oct 07, 2025If you’ve ever squeezed into a hat only to find it too tight, you’re not alone. At Imperial, we believe everyone deserves high-performance, stylish headwear — no matter their head size.
That’s why we created the XL Fit line: hats designed specifically for larger heads (circumference 7 ¾ – 8") without compromise on comfort or quality. In this first of a “Shop by Fit” series, we’re introducing the XL Fit category, spotlighting our current flagship, the XL210P Original Performance XL Cap, and giving you a sneak peek at what’s coming in 2026: the Wingman XL and Wrightson XL.
Why XL Fit Matters
-
Comfort first: Size 7 ¾–8 is often neglected, meaning extra pressure, constant adjustments, or giving up on style. With XL Fit, you get a cap that gives room where it matters.
-
Better performance: Fit influences performance. A loose or, worse, too-small hat can distract you, trap heat, and interfere with vision. A properly fitted XL hat stays put, breathes well, and keeps you focused.
-
Style without sacrifice: You shouldn’t have to choose between roomy comfort and modern style. Our XL Fit line is designed for everyday life, blending premium quality with a look that works anywhere—whether you’re on the golf course, out with friends, traveling, or just relaxing. With thoughtful details in structure, fit, fabric, and finish, it’s a hat that feels as good as it looks.
The XL210P – The Original Performance Cap in XL
The XL210P builds on the X210P, Imperial's best selling cap! The XL210P brings forward the same classic, clean design that sets the X210P apart from other hats—now offered in a fit made for larger head sizes.
Here’s what makes the XL210P stand out:
-
Fit: True XL, built to comfortably fit heads in the 7 ¾-8" range.
-
Fabric: Performance polyester — lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking. Keep sweat off your brow and eyes so you can focus on your next shot.
-
Profile & structure: Soft structured design (not rigid), giving shape without stiffness.
-
Closure: A micro hook & loop elastic strap with Imperial’s unique garage tuck-in. This design hides the strap tail, giving you a neat, polished look that stands out from standard closures.
If you want a proven XL fitting hat, the XL210P delivers. The X210P is our best-selling hat for a reason—classic, versatile, and a reminder that simple style always stands the test of time.
Say Hello to 2026’s New Drops: XL7054 & XL5054
These styles maintain the performance you expect—breathability, moisture-management, sun protection—while offering different looks (mid-crown vs retro 5-panel) so you can choose what suits your style.
We’re not stopping with just one option. For 2026, we’re expanding the XL Fit line with two new headwear styles:
XL7054: The Wingman XL
The XL7054: The Wingman XL is built on the foundation of one of Imperial’s staples—the 7054: The Wingman. The XL7054 keeps all the same comfort and design features, now tailored for larger head sizes.
The XL7054: The Wingman XL is a mid-crown, structured cap built for larger head sizes (7 ¾–8"). Crafted from 100% recycled performance polyester, it combines sustainability with a premium feel. This hat features a snapback closure, a slight curve visor with a frost grey undervisor, and a contrast 4mm rope for a modern touch. With UPF 50 sun protection plus a moisture-wicking and anti-microbial sweatband, the Wingman XL is designed for comfort, performance, and everyday wear on and off the course.
XL5054: The Wrightson XL
The XL5054: The Wrightson XL is based on one of Imperial’s most recognizable rope cap styles—the 5054: The Wrightson. The XL5054 carries forward everything that makes the original a favorite, now sized for larger heads.
The XL5054: The Wrightson XL features a retro 5-panel, structured shape designed specifically for larger head sizes (7 ¾–8"). Made with 100% recycled performance polyester, it delivers both sustainability and durability. This XL fit hat includes a snapback closure for adjustability, a slight curve visor with a frost grey undervisor, and a contrast 4mm rope for added style. Performance details like a moisture-wicking and anti-microbial sweatband, along with UPF 50 sun protection, make it a high-quality option built for comfort and all-day wear.
Your Guide to Picking the Perfect XL Hat
-
Measure your head: Use a tape measure just above your ears and brows. If you fall into 7 ¾-8", go with XL Fit.
-
Think crown shape: If you like more volume or want more forehead space, structured mid-crown styles give height. For a sleeker look, the design team tapered the retro 5-panel front-to-back.
-
Fabric & features: If you play in hot, sweaty conditions, prioritize moisture‐wicking fabric and sweatbands (like the ones in all Imperial XL styles). Sun protection (UPF) also matters.
-
Closure type: The snapback makes sizing simple, while the XL210P’s hook & loop closure sets it apart with a thoughtful detail — the garage tuck-in.
Why Imperial’s XL Fit Stands Out
Imperial’s XL Fit hats are designed with larger heads in mind, using premium materials like recycled performance polyester, anti-microbial sweatbands, and moisture-wicking fabrics. Unlike other larger fitting caps that feel like an afterthought, every XL Fit style keeps the same structural details — from rope accents to visor curves and crown shaping — so the fit is functional, stylish, and truly premium.
Rooted in golf tradition yet evolving with modern performance needs, Imperial’s heritage and design DNA shine through in every fit category, including XL. Today, XL Fit is a full part of the headwear collection, giving players and casual wearers with larger head sizes the same high-quality, performance-driven options Imperial is known for.
If you’re ready to try an XL hat, start with the XL210P: The Original Performance XL. If your looking for more XL hat styles, the XL7054: The Wingman XL and the XL5054: The Wrightson XL are now available! (If you’ve browsed our site, you’ll see “XL Fit” is now a full part of the headwear collection categories).
