Color block is an old idea that keeps working because it is simple. Two panels, two tones, one clean line between them. On a cap it does something useful as well as decorative. The break in color draws the eye across the crown and stops the shape from reading as a flat block of red on your head. The embroidered detail adds a third point of interest without crowding anything.
The cap is made from cotton and comes as a single piece. Cotton earns its place on a hat you actually intend to wear outside. It breathes on a warm afternoon rather than holding heat against your scalp, it gets softer with wear instead of staying stiff, and it takes embroidery cleanly so the stitching stays defined rather than sinking into the weave. The embroidery here is stitched rather than printed, which means you can feel the texture of it under a thumb.
It comes in one size, with a crown height of 5.1 inches. That is a standard structured height. Tall enough to keep its shape and sit up properly rather than collapsing flat, low enough that it never looks like a novelty. The supplier does not provide a circumference measurement, so if a precise head fit is important to you it is fair to know that in advance.
Care instructions are not specified for this cap, and we would rather say so plainly than invent a routine we cannot stand behind. In general a structured cotton cap tends to keep its shape better with hand spot cleaning and air drying than with a machine cycle.
Red is the whole point of this one. Wear it as the single loud thing against denim, white or black and let everything else stay quiet.
