What men's accessories does Things Square offer?+β
Things Square offers men's accessories across three subcategories β Caps (classic adjustable baseball caps, graphic and embroidered caps, performance sport caps, and snapback and trucker-style caps), Belts (classic leather and leather-look belts with pin buckle, ratchet and slider belts, casual canvas and woven belts, and tactical nylon belts), and Socks (cushioned sports socks, everyday cotton crew socks, thermal winter socks, and fashion patterned and novelty sock designs).
How do I choose the right belt size?+β
For standard pin-buckle belts, add 2β3 inches (5β8cm) to your trouser waist size to find the correct belt size β this ensures the buckle pin sits in the middle hole of the belt (typically hole 3 of 5), leaving room to tighten or loosen as needed. For example, a 32-inch waist typically needs a 34 or 35-inch belt. For ratchet and slider belts, these typically have a continuous adjustment system requiring only a maximum length measurement rather than a precise size β choose the longest option that fits within your measured range for maximum adjustment flexibility.
How should a baseball cap fit?+β
A well-fitting baseball cap sits level on the head with the brim straight or with a slight downward curve at the sides. It should sit comfortably about 2β3 finger-widths above the eyebrows β high enough to see clearly, low enough to shade the eyes. The cap should feel secure without gripping tightly enough to leave marks or cause discomfort after extended wearing. Adjustable snapback and velcro closures allow fine-tuning for individual head shapes. The crown should maintain its shape without collapsing β a structured cap that holds its shape reads as significantly more polished than a floppy, shapeless one.
How do I wash a baseball cap without ruining its shape?+β
Never machine-wash a baseball cap with a structured brim β the heat and agitation will permanently warp the brim's shape. Hand-wash the cap in cold water with mild soap, using a soft brush for the sweatband and any soiled areas. Rinse thoroughly. To maintain the crown's shape during drying, stuff the interior with a clean towel or place the cap over a bowl of approximately the same size as the head. Air dry completely in a well-ventilated space out of direct sunlight β direct sun causes colour fading in cotton caps. Allow 24 hours to dry completely before wearing.
What is the most important men's accessory to invest in?+β
For the highest impact per purchase, a quality leather belt in black is the single most impactful men's accessory investment β it is worn every day, visible in virtually every outfit, and a quality leather belt visually elevates the whole outfit in a way that a cheap or worn belt degrades it. The second most impactful investment is a quality pair of socks in classic and subtle patterns for smart-casual occasions β the visible detail of a quality sock against polished shoes communicates more about a man's overall style attention than almost any other accessory. A versatile cap in dark navy or black rounds out a solid accessory foundation for most men's wardrobes.
