Hat Styles

1. Baseball Cap

A baseball cap is a type of soft cap with a rounded crown and a stiff peak projecting in front.

The front of the cap typically contains a design or a logo of sports team (namely a baseball team, or names of relevant companies, when used as a commercial marketing technique). The back of the cap may be “fitted” to the wearer’s head size or it may have a plastic, Velcro, or elastic and zipper strip, adjuster so that it can be quickly adjusted to fit different wearers. The baseball cap is a part of the traditional baseball uniform worn by players, with the brim pointing forward to shield the eyes from the sun. Since the 1980s varieties of the cap have become a common fashion accessory, particularly in the United States.

A dad hat is one types of baseball caps. There is no buckram underneath the front panel. it can be a 5 panels dad hat or a 6 panels dad hat.

2. Snapback Hat

A snapback hat is one of the major types of baseball caps, hat with a snap closure in the rear, with flat brim, high profile, adjustable.

A snapback is 6- panel cap with a wide, flat brim. They are fitted with an adjustable snap on the back, which makes them ‘one size fits all. The cap is a real icon, created for youngsters with style. The sticker on the peak is the essence of the snapback, a real snapback is recognizable on the sticker.

3. Trucker Hat

A trucker hat (mesh cap or netback cap) is technically a type of baseball cap. Its design includes a bill and a foam front section that stands up tall and straight (making it taller than most other hats or caps). The rest of the hat is constructed of plastic mesh, with a snap closure in the back for a one-size-fits-all adaptability. (yes, a trucker hat is a snapback, but not all snapbacks are trucker hats.) Designed with breathability and one-size-fits-all in mind, the signature features of the trucker hat are the plastic mesh back and the snapback closure.

4. 5 Panels Hat

The 5-panel hat cropping up a lot among those who love the outdoors. it is constructed out of five panels instead of the traditional six, and you typically won’t see the little button on the top, making it seem more unstructured and casual.

But just because the 5-panel hat looks unstructured doesn’t mean it doesn’t look sharp. Since traditional 6-panel hats have the market cornered on sports, 5-panel hats are typically available in fun patterns, allowing you to add a little pizazz to your get-up without having to even think about it.

5. Sports Visor

A sports visor—also called a sun visor or visor cap—is a type of crownless hat consisting simply of a visor or brim with a strap encircling the head. The top of the head is not covered and the visor protects only the face, including eyes, nose, and cheeks, from the sun.

The visor portion of a sun visor may be either curved or flat and the strap is often equipped with an adjustable velcro fastener in back. The strap can function as a sweatband although usually not. This type of headgear was designed for use in outdoor sports (especially golf, tennis, volleyball, and softball) where eye protection from direct sunlight is desirable, but is now often used by non-athletes at beach and other sunny outdoor events.

6. Bucket Hat

A bucket hat (variations of which include the fisherman’s hat, Irish country hat and session hat) is a hat with a wide, downward-sloping brim. Typically, the hat is made from heavy-duty cotton fabric such as denim or canvas, or heavy wool such as tweed, sometimes with metal eyelets placed on the crown of the hat for ventilation.

It was first adopted as a high fashion item in the 1960s, and with subsequent revivals in both street fashion and on the catwalk. It is popular festival gear in the present day, also known as a “session hat” and is favored by fans of bands such as Sticky Fingers, The Stone Roses, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Oasis and Yung Lean.

7. Knit Cap

A knit cap (beanie hat), originally of wool (though now often of synthetic fibers) is designed to provide warmth in cold weather. Typically, the knit cap is of simple, tapering constructions, though many variants exist. Historically, the wool knit cap was an extremely common form of headgear for seamen, fishers, hunters and others spending their working day outdoors from the 18th century and forward, and is still commonly used for this purpose in Canada, Scandinavia and other cold regions of the world. Being found all over the world where climate demands a warm hat, the knit cap can be found under a multitude of local names.

Most beanie hats (or knit caps) are tapered at the top. The stretch of the knitting itself hugs the head, keeping the cap secure. They are sometimes topped with a pom-pom or loose tassels. Knit caps may have a folded brim, or none, and may be worn tightly fitting the head or loose on top.

8. Fedora

A fedora is a hat with a soft brim and indented crown. It is typically creased lengthwise down the crown and “pinched” near the front on both sides. Fedoras can also be creased with teardrop crowns, diamond crowns, center dents, and others, and the positioning of pinches can vary. The typical crown height is 4.5 inches (11 cm).

The fedora hat’s brim is usually wide, approximately 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) wide, but may be wider, can be left “raw edged” (left as cut), finished with a sewn overwelt or underwelt, or bound with a trim-ribbon. “Stitched edge” means that there is one, two or more rows of stitching radiating inward toward the crown. The “Cavanagh Edge” is a welted edge with invisible stitching to hold it in place and is a very expensive treatment that can no longer be performed by modern hat factories. Fedora hats are not to be confused with small brimmed hats called trilbies.

Fedoras can be made of wool, cashmere, rabbit or beaver felt. These felts can also be blended to each other with mink or chinchilla and rarely with vicuña, guanaco, cervelt, or mohair. They can also be made of straw, cotton, waxed or oiled cotton, hemp, linen or leather.

Fedoras can be lined or unlined and have a leather or cloth or ribbon sweatband. Small feathers are sometimes added as decoration. Fedoras can be equipped with a chinstrap, but this is rare.
