More Than Meets the Eye
Sometimes people like to knock the ol' ballcap, but it's a style that comes with a bit of a fun evolution.
Back in the 1800s a move was made to switch from straw brimmed hats like boaters or skimmers to caps for sporting wear, notably for- you guessed it- baseball. Initially these styles had a very soft crown and short peak (or bill, as we call them today, neat little sidenote there for you!) but as the style evolved, the bills were extended to give better protection of the wearer's eyes from the sun and the crown given its paneled structure for a more trim, uniform look. The Detroit Tigers were the first team to have their mascot put on their caps in 1901, and the rest is... well... history.
With our caps, we keep it simple: quality materials for summer or winter that are meant to last, with colors and patterns that are flexible and easy to pair with your everday style, so you don't have to be armed with bat or mitt to enjoy them!
