Introduction:
A cap is a flat headgear, usually with a visor. Caps have crowns that fit very close to the head. However, they made their first appearance as early as 3,200BC. Caps typically have a visor or no brim at all. Because they are popular in casual and informal settings and are seen in sports and fashion. Moreover, they are typically designed for warmth and to block sunlight from the eyes. It comes in many shapes, and sizes, and are of different brands. Although, Baseball caps are one of the most common types of caps.
Caps have a vast history. but the choice of materials used in caps is crucial to their performance. Perhaps, headwear manufacturers are meticulous in how they select their materials, making sure they find the optimum balance between aesthetics and practicality.
Wool
Wool is a material mostly available with knitted hats but for a long portion of time, it is the main fabric in the caps on the heads of major and minor league baseball players. Indeed, solid-colored wool remains one of the most commonly used materials for cap manufacture today. Often, the crown of the cap is made from a blend of wool, making it soft, comfortable, and high performing.
Polyester
Recent years have seen polyester often replace wool as the primary component of baseball caps. It’s a diverse and useful material used extensively in a range of clothing items. However, polyester is an excellent material for cushioning and insulation. Therefore, it tends to be stretchable making it well suited for use in hat manufacture, and caps such as the Flexfit 110 cap and Flexfit 210 Snapback are designed to fit a range of head sizes.
Cotton
Cotton is frequently the substance of choice for embroidered logos and designs on caps used is cotton. It is also often used to form the sweatband. However, it is possible to find caps that are 100% cotton. It’s an excellent material to use in a cap, seeing as it is a soft and breathable fabric – two qualities of high importance to the hat wearer who is looking to feel le while donning a cap throughout the day.
Rubber
Rubber is not a primary component of caps, but it has started to become increasingly used in keeping with stretch-fit technology. With the material being flexible and hardwearing, it offers the qualities needed to make hats fit various head sizes and stay snug and secure.
Nylon
Nylon is available in the crown of a cap and has the quality of offering some degree of water resistance. However, the material is often used in unstructured caps such as ‘dad hats’, as it is too soft to form the framework of a tight-fitting cap, yet benefits from a comfortable feel and an impressive, glossy appearance.
Buckram
It is commonly to strengthen the visor of caps. However, buckram is a stiff form of cloth that can be either shiny or dull but it usually covers the outer layer of the cap. Traditionally it was made from linen or even horsehair. But today’s buckram is usually made of cotton. However, in the making of hat starch is used which softens in water. Therefore, it allows it to harden into the desired shape.
Wood
This one might surprise you, but the inclusion of wood in some caps is an example of how the headwear industry is always embracing new ideas and not ruling out unconventional possibilities. An entire cap made out of wood would not be possible as the material is too hard, but some cap collectors have had their interest drawn to caps with wooden peaks. The wood used is similar to that you would find on the fingerboard of guitars and gives caps a classy and altogether different finish.
