Mesh Caps

Mesh Caps - The golden 90s and 00s

After the mesh cap also found popularity in the BMX and skater scene in the 1990s, the cap gained huge recognition in the early 2000s, as it was worn by many celebrities. This meant that the leap into the streetfashion sector had been made. Nowadays, the cap is highly sought-after amongst both teenagers and adults – whether men or women - and is an essential part of the cap world.

A successor to the classic baseball cap

The classic baseball cap is considered the forerunner of the more advanced mesh cap. The basic model of the mesh cap is actually very similar to the baseball cap in terms of shape. This includes both strapback and snapback caps. The peak of mesh caps, just like baseball caps, is in most cases slightly curved. The only, yet significant, difference is that the mesh cap is fitted with a breathable mesh panel that covers the entire back of the cap. For this reason, mesh caps are often also referred to as trucker caps.

The sturdy yet lightweight mesh fabric often makes up as much as two thirds of the crown. This integrated mesh panel provides a pleasant air supply, which in turn guarantees a pleasantly cool head and thus prevents sweaty hair. The airy design combined with its role as a shade provider makes the mesh cap particularly suitable for summer. These two valuable functions of the mesh cap not only offer significant benefits for everyday life, but also ensure that you keep a cool head during sport too.

Practical cap for a sporty look

The mesh cap remains a popular accessory that is particularly popular amongst teenagers and young adults. With its sporty and fresh look, created not least by the integrated mesh panel, the cap can be combined in an absolutely casual way and underlines both the sporty and the casual look.

Both design and colour scheme are enormously varied when it comes to the mesh cap. Those who prefer a understated look are best off choosing a single-colour cap, where the peak, crown and mesh are all the same colour. But if you prefer more striking designs, we at CapUniverse have exactly the right thing for you: our range also includes a large number of two-tone or multi-coloured caps, where, for example, the mesh or the peak stands out in colour. Of course, there are also caps with a fashionable print spread across the front and the peak. Mesh caps with logo stitching on the front are also becoming increasingly popular. This can be either the brand logo of a manufacturer or the logo of a sports club. Particularly popular are the logos of American teams from the MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL professional leagues.
