I wear it without the cuff (long style). I have long hair and an Opie beard. Does ok but is way too loose and wants to fall off my head all the time. I was hoping this would be a little tighter while retaining the length. When it does stay on my head it kind-of works as a slouch beanie, but it takes a lot of tweaking so I was over it pretty quickly. I feel like it won't last real long, but it was cheap so I guess you get what you pay for. Won't buy again...
