Dura-Tech® Velvet Hunt Cap
The traditional velvet cap for the classes that call for it
A low-profile black velvet hunt cap for hunter, equitation and in-hand turnout, with a grosgrain bow at the back and a satin lining. It is a style piece: not ASTM certified and not impact protection. Nine sizes from 6⅝ to 7½.
1
Turnout the judges expect
Soft black velvet over a low, rounded profile, the shape that has walked into hunter, equitation and in-hand classes for generations.
2
Sits low, stays formal
A low-profile crown and a short brim keep the line clean above a show coat and stock tie.
3
Style, not a helmet
This cap is not ASTM certified and gives no impact protection. Wear it where the class calls for a hunt cap; ride in a certified helmet.
4
Measure the head, pick the size
Sizes run 6⅝ to 7½, from a 20½-inch to a 24-inch head. Measure around the head just above the ears and eyebrows and match it to the chart.
Finding the Right Fit
Measure once, order once. Most horses nail their size on the first try.
1
Measure above the earsA soft tape around the head, just above the ears and eyebrows, in inches.
2
Match it to the chart20½ inches is 6⅝; 22 is 7; 24 is 7½. Half an inch per size.
3
Between sizes, go upVelvet does not stretch; a cap that is too small will not break in.

Bow at the back, brim levelSet it square with the bow centered at the back.

For the class, not the cross-country course
Some classes still call for a velvet hunt cap, and this is the one: soft black velvet over a low, rounded crown with a short brim, a grosgrain bow at the back and a satin lining, so the line above a show coat stays clean in hunter, equitation and in-hand classes. It is a piece of turnout, not a helmet: it is not ASTM certified and gives no impact protection, so ride in a certified helmet and wear this where the class asks for it. Sizes 6⅝ to 7½, for heads from 20½ to 24 inches; measure above the ears and eyebrows and, between sizes, go up.
