All of Pickapooh's sunhats including the fireman sunhat are made from 100% organic cotton. If you have a look on the label it should say 100% baumwolle (KbA) the “KbA” stands for “kontrolliert biologischer Anbau” which is German for “certified organic farming” and the abbreviation for organic cotton certified by an independent institute, which in the case of Pickapooh is GOTS, the Global Organic Textile Standard.
The organic cotton is GOTS certified by IVN. Organic cotton is better for your child, cotton farmers, garment makers, their families and the environment.
By choosing organic you are making an investment not only in the health of your child but also in the world they will grow up in.
The Pickapooh organic cotton offers UV protection at three levels; UPF 20, 60 and 80. The ultraviolet protection is free of any chemical additions. All items made from these materials reliably safeguard from the damaging effects of UV radiation.
PICKAPOOH sun protection is certified according to the most stringent rules of the UV-Standard 801. This standard tests real wearing conditions and offers reliable UPF values regulated by Stiftung Warentest. “UV protect” labels awarded by the UV-Standard 801 are attached to each garment.
A small amount of shrinkage may occur in the first couple of washes, but the clothes are made slightly bigger to accomodate this. Air dry, and re-shape while damp if necessary.
To help all your clothes last longer, always air dry rather than tumble dry.
To reduce calcium build-up which can contribute to a hardening of your clothing, add a little vinegar to your rinse cycle.

"I’m so please we got this hat. The colour is gorgeous and quality of the fabric is great. I think the best thing about it is the draw string so that the hat grows with your child."
This was worn by... My 4 year old son
Sizing: Feels true to size
"Comfortable and practical"
"I got one for my pal because he gets sunstroke at the allotment. It arrived really quickly and you could tell it was good quality, both in terms of fabric and craftsmanship. I liked the fit so much I got one for myself for casual summer wear too. Have used it a lot and works really well - draw string is also really useful as my nephew has borrowed it on sunny days. This is my third purchase from Cambridge baby, would recommend to anyone."
This was worn by... Myself, my best friend and my toddler nephew
I wouldn't really recommend this to a friend.
