1.Baseball cap

The baseball cap comes in many shapes and forms, all of which we are describing in this page. Though, there is one variant of the cap that specifically is referred to as the classic baseball cap; the one with stiff front panels (structured front) and curved brim. Some people also refer to the baseball cap as baseball hat.

2.Dad cap

A dad cap (or dad hat) is a cap variant, often made of six panels, that derives from the classic baseball cap but with the exception that is has soft front panels (unstructured front). The main physical difference between a dad cap and a baseball cap is that the dad cap lacks the buckram on the inside of the front panels, which provides a soft front and makes the cap lie directly on the forehead instead of creating its own silhouette. The dad cap usually has a curved brim.

3.Flat brim cap

A flat brim cap is a kind of cap with a high profile (steep front) and a flat brim. The flat brim cap is also sometimes called "snapback", which as a matter of fact is a completely different thing. Though, "snapbacks" have become synonym to "flat brim cap" since flat brims often contain snapbacks, i.e. the plastic buckle in the back. Flat brim caps became popular in modern time around the beginning of the 21st century when celebrities within music and sports started wearing them.

4.Trucker cap

The trucker cap is formed like a typical baseball cap, but instead of being made of cotton fabric, the two front panels of a trucker hat are made of foam while the back panels are made of plastic mesh for breathability. The design of the trucker cap was intended to make the cap much cooler in the sun and hot weather for the comfort of the wearer. The trucker cap is also known as a mesh cap or netback cap.

5.Multipanel cap

The multipanel cap is also called 5-panel, due to its crown consisting of five panels. The five panels in a multipanel cap are assembled differently than the standard baseball cap or flat brim cap. In contrary to the standard caps, the different panels in a multipanel cap are not identical nor triangular shaped, thus the multipanel cap is a very unique piece. It has ventilation holes on the sides instead of at the top and there is no top button due to no intersection of the panels.
