Baseball Cap
A baseball cap (also known as a ball cap, or simply a cap) is a type of hat with a rounded crown and a stiff, projecting brim and typically a sweatband inside.
Material
Baseball caps are traditionally constructed from cotton, polyester, acrylic, wool, and blends thereof. Modern caps frequently utilize performance fabrics like cotton/polyester blends, offering breathability and moisture-wicking properties. The crown can be made of multiple panels, often six (6-panel cap) or five (5-panel cap).
Purpose
Originally developed for baseball players to shield their eyes from the sun, the cap's purpose has broadened significantly. It is now widely worn as a fashion accessory, to protect from sunlight, or as part of a uniform.
Function
The primary function of a baseball cap is sun protection for the eyes and face. The brim provides shade, reducing glare and UV exposure. The sweatband helps absorb perspiration, keeping the wearer comfortable. The cap can also offer a degree of warmth in cooler weather.
Usage Scenarios

Common Types
- Fitted Cap: Sized to fit the head, providing a snug fit. Often associated with professional sports teams.
- Adjustable Cap: Features a strap or adjustable closure at the back, allowing for a customized fit. More versatile for different head sizes.
- Snapback Cap: A type of adjustable cap with a plastic strap and adjustable snaps at the back. Often features a flat brim and is popular in streetwear.
- 5-Panel Cap: Constructed from five fabric panels, offering a more structured and vintage appearance.
- Dad Cap: A relaxed, unstructured cap with a curved brim, often made of cotton or polyester blend.
- Trucker Cap: Features a mesh back for increased ventilation, commonly worn for outdoor work or casual activities.
