5. What should the quality of a cap be?

Buying a low-end, inexpensive cap may serve a temporary need, but if you want a cap that will last a long time and give you more presence when you wear it on the street, make sure the fabrics are stiff, the seams are well-stitched and symmetrical, and the front panels are reinforced.

There are many types of caps nowadays. But to make a first division, we can divide them into those that follow a Dad Cap style, which are small and tight, and secondly, we find baseball caps, which are much wider than the first mentioned. Baseball caps are also known as mesh or trucker caps.

It is important to maintain a certain hygiene in your cap.It is equally important to wash your cap without deforming it, without fading it or wrinkling it.

Washing a cap is a relatively simple task. We recommend that you do not put it in the washing machine, but rather wash it by hand. You will need a basin with warm water, a brush and a stain remover spray.

Place your cap in the basin and remove the most stubborn stains using the stain remover spray. Then use the brush on the cap to remove the most visible dirt. Put the cap back in the basin to rinse it and remove the detergent and let it soak for an hour. Then let it air dry.

If you are going on a trip or for a certain reason you are going to have to travel with your caps stored, we recommend that you spend some time arranging them in such a way that they are perfectly preserved during the journey.

When caps become deformed, it is usually mainly because the top of the cap is subjected to pressure over a period of time. There are cap carriers specifically designed for this use. They are also called “carrying cases”.

10. How do I choose my cap size?

The issue of choosing the size is also important. Normally, they have an adjustable clasp on the back that allows you to make it wider or narrower, but it is still advisable to find out what size you need, since there are other types of caps, the so-called fitted or closed ones that do not incorporate this self-adjustment system.

You can find out your exact size by using a measuring tape and surrounding the widest part of your head, which is located above your eyebrows, one centimetre above your ears.
