Baseball caps are the most common and fashionable hats in the world. From the fashion preference of mainstream stars to the daily matching of the general public, baseball caps are indispensable. However, baseball caps were originally used by baseball players to block the sun during games. From playing equipment to a trendy item that almost everyone has, what kind of fashion charm does a baseball cap have? Let’s learn about the specific composition of a baseball cap and see what kind of hat it is!

Common baseball caps are divided into five-panel and six-panel caps, which are mainly distinguished by the number of panels of the cap body. Six-panel caps are the most common in the hat industry and are widely loved. A complete baseball cap consists of nine parts: the visor, crown, cap body, top buckle, eyelets, sweatband, pressure strip, stitching and back buckle.

brim / peak / bill /Visor

The brim is divided into the brim surface and the brim lining. There is also a layer of plastic lining in the middle of the brim surface and the lining as the brim core to shape the entire brim.

Hat body

Hat body refers to the slope of the crown; low-body hats make the crown more slanted, and high-body hats look more perpendicular to the hat bill.

Crown

The crown is the distance from the base of the hat to the top. The size of the crown determines the depth of the hat.

Eyelet / Airhole

The eyelet, also known as the airhole, mainly for ventilation. It can be made of embroidery thread, metal, or laser.

Sweatband

The circle that contacts the forehead becomes a sweat band, which absorbs sweat and keeps the forehead cool.

Stitching Line

Stitches: A baseball cap consists of a large number of stitches, and the quality of the stitches determines the quality of the hat.

Taping Line

Taping Line is the part connecting the fifth/sixth panel of the hat body, and it plays a role in shaping the hat.

Top Button

The top button has a certain role of fixing the hat body and making the hat more refined and beautiful as a whole.

Back Buckle

The buckle determines the fit and adjustability of the hat, and it can help us adjust the comfort of the hat.

Same colors and Contrast colors

What are same colors and contrast colors?

There are same colors and contrast colors for the stitching/eyelet/top button parts.
The contrasting colors and color matching of hats refer to using various combinations of colors in order to produce either an eye-catching contrast or harmonious effect. The Contrast colors usually involve pairing up elements such as the main hue with other components like the brim, band logos or patterns to produce striking visual contrast; on the other hand, color matching involves selecting complementary or coordinated hues in order to keep a pleasing and aesthetic design.

For example, a dark-colored hat might look good with bright logos or stitching; or its main color might pair well with vibrant-hued brims that stand out against it. Color matching can also be achieved using similar hues for visual balance purposes.
