Distressed Casual Baseball Cap

The best cap in anyone's collection is almost always the oldest one. This is that cap, minus the years it usually takes to get there. The distressing is built in, so the brim and the panels already have the softened worn quality that makes a cap look like it belongs to you rather than like it just came out of a box.

The material is cotton, which is what you want in something that gets grabbed on the way out of the door and stuffed into a bag on the way back. The crown measures 5.1 inches in actual height. That is a mid depth rather than a tall structured build, so it sits low and close to the head instead of standing up off it, which is a large part of why it reads relaxed rather than sporty. It comes in one size and is made as a single piece.

Four colours, all of them useful. Black is the one that matches everything and needs no thought at all. Khaki and brown are the warm neutrals that sit naturally against denim, cream and olive, and brown in particular has quietly become the more interesting choice. Grey lands somewhere in the middle and works year round. Wear one with a tee and jeans, pull it on over a jersey dress in the heat, or take it on a walk when the sun is stronger than the forecast suggested. It is the sort of thing you stop noticing you own until you need it.
