New York City Embroidered Denim Baseball Cap

The city cap is a genuine classic, and New York is the one that has never needed explaining. On denim it stops being a souvenir and starts being a wardrobe piece, because denim and embroidery age together in a way that makes the cap look better the longer you own it. This is the version you keep rather than the one you buy at an airport.

The cap is made of cotton and comes as a single piece in one size, with an actual height of 5.1 inches. Cotton is what lets a cap wear in properly, softening at the brim and settling into the shape of how you actually wear it, and it takes a wash and a crushing without complaint. It comes in medium or white. The medium is the workhorse that goes with everything denim already goes with, and the white is the lighter, summer leaning one.

Wear it low with a plain tee and jeans, and let the double denim happen deliberately. It works pushed back off your face with sunglasses holding it, thrown over a ponytail on a walk, or with an oversized sweatshirt on a cold morning where the embroidery is the only detail in the outfit. It is a good travel hat: it shades your face, folds flat into a bag, and does not care what else you packed. Pair the white with cream and tan in summer, and let the medium go with essentially anything.
