Flat Brim Caps

Flat Brim Caps - Straight Ahead

The flat brim cap comes in various variants, with the unbent peak being the only thing they all have in common. Thanks to a snap button tab made of plastic, the snapback cap, a variant of the flat brim cap, is infinitely size-adjustable and thus ensures a good fit and high wearing comfort – despite being a universal size.

Alternatively, the flat brim cap is also available as a fitted cap in various sizes. Closed flat brim caps are usually produced in the two sizes S/M and L/XL, in order to guarantee high wearing comfort for every head size with just a few models. With American brands, such as New Era, the size is also often given in the unit "inches" commonly used there.

Streetwear with Style - Flat Brim Cap with an Unbent Brim

Flat brim caps have gone from being a fringe phenomenon of the hip-hop scene to becoming a star of the fashion world. Completely variable in how you wear it, the straight peak of the flat brim cap, whether worn variably as a snapback or closed as a fitted, ensures an extremely high coolness factor. That's why the flat brim cap has become increasingly popular in recent years, not only among the younger generation, as a must-have when it comes to fashionable street style.

The unmistakable special feature of flat brim caps remains the unbent front peak. Once a statement to set oneself apart from the conventional way of wearing baseball caps, it is still a statement by the wearer today, namely a sign of individual style and a talking point for fashion.

Most people are particularly familiar with the so-called premium flat brim caps from companies like New Era or Herschel, which, alongside a pronounced brand awareness, also stand for high quality and unmistakable style. A flat brim cap is always also an expression of individual style and a departure from convention.

Flat Brim Caps – From the Baseball Field to a Style Icon

The flat brim cap has its origins in the classic baseball cap. Over the years, however, a simple way of wearing it has developed into the independent fashion of flat brim caps. Their popularity goes so far that even in the MLB, the official American "Major League Baseball", teams wear flat brim caps instead of traditional baseball caps, and have done so since 1954.

That's why this way of wearing the flat brim cap is also referred to as "on field". Baseball players have long worn their flat caps on the field "unbroken" on the field, meaning the peak is not bent. Originally, the first thing you did with a brand new baseball cap was to "break in" the flat brim cap and adjust the peak to your personal taste.

Flat Brim Caps and Their Breakthrough in the 90s

At the latest since the nineties, however, this custom has turned into its opposite. Particularly thanks to the rap and hip-hop scene, the flat brim cap continues to enjoy growing popularity. Sometimes also referred to as hip-hop caps and a firm part of stylish streetwear, they have long since stopped being available only with sports motifs. Although these of course made up the majority at the beginning and are still widespread today, there is now a suitable, individual flat brim cap for everyone.

Besides the emblems of sports teams such as baseball teams, the most varied symbols adorn our flat brim caps. Logos of comic heroes, brand logos or graphic patterns – the selection of flat brim caps is virtually endless. Famous rappers and musicians, among others, contribute with their own collections to ensuring that flat brim caps lose nothing of their popularity. Anyone wanting to further expand their streetwear look will find the perfect companion in our trucker caps.
