Alternatively, the Flat Brim Cap is also available as a Fitted Cap in various sizes. Closed-back Flat Brim Caps are usually produced in the two sizes S/M and L/XL to ensure a high level of comfort for every head size with just a few models.

Flat Brim Caps have evolved from a niche element of the hip-hop scene to a star of the fashion world. Extremely versatile in how they're worn, the straight visor of the Flat Brim Cap—whether as an adjustable Snapback or a closed-back Fitted—guarantees an incredibly high coolness factor. This is why the Flat Brim Cap has become increasingly popular in recent years as a must-have in fashionable street style, and not just among the younger generation.
The unmistakable feature of Flat Brim caps remains the unbent front visor. What once started as a statement to stand out from the conventional way of wearing baseball caps is still a statement today: a sign of individual style and a flair for fashion.
Most people are particularly familiar with the so-called premium Flat Brim Caps from companies like New Era or Herschel , which stand for a strong brand identity as well as high quality and unmistakable style. A Flat Brim Cap is always an expression of individual style and a departure from the conventional.
The Flat Brim Cap has its origins in the classic baseball cap. Over the years, however, a simple way of wearing it has evolved into the independent fashion of Flat Brim Caps. Its popularity is so great that even in the MLB, the official American "Major League Baseball" teams have been wearing Flat Brim Caps instead of traditional baseball caps since 1954.
This is why the way Flat Brim Caps are worn is also referred to as "on field." Baseball players have long worn flat caps "unbroken" on the field, meaning the visor is not bent. Originally, the first thing you did with a brand-new base cap was to "break in" the Flat Brim cap and adjust the visor to your personal taste.
Since the nineties at the latest, however, this custom has reversed. Especially thanks to the rap and hip-hop scene, the Flat Brim Cap continues to enjoy growing popularity. Sometimes also called hip-hop caps and a fixed part of stylish streetwear, they haven't been limited to sports motifs for a long time. Although these naturally made up the majority at the beginning and are still widespread today, there is now a matching, individual Flat Brim Cap for everyone.
In addition to the emblems of sports teams like baseball teams, a wide variety of symbols adorn our Flat Brim Caps. Logos of comic heroes, brand logos or graphic patterns – the selection of Flat Brim Caps is almost endless. Famous rappers and musicians, with their own collections, help ensure that Flat Brim Caps lose none of their popularity.
