A Tam Built for Locks

The defining feature of a Rasta tam is volume. Where a beanie grips the head, a tam is crocheted or knitted wide and deep so hair - especially dreadlocks - can be gathered up inside without compression, with an elasticated or drawstring edge keeping the hat in place. Dreadgear's range is built around that purpose, in a spread of colors and sizes, since the right size depends as much on the volume of hair as on head measurement. Shoppers without locks wear the same tams slouched for the relaxed silhouette, but the sizing advice starts with how much the hat must hold.

Wool vs Cotton and Hemp

Dreadgear makes each tam in one of two fiber recipes: 100% wool, or 100% cotton combined with pure hemp. Wool is warmer, naturally elastic, and keeps its loft in cool weather; it wants gentle hand washing and flat drying. Cotton and hemp is the cooler, breathable summer blend, sturdier wash after wash, with hemp adding strength to the yarn. Choose wool for winter wear and cold climates, cotton-hemp for year-round and warm-weather wear, and in both cases store the tam loosely stuffed so its shape is ready to wear.
