Fitted caps are standard baseball hats, which are made from 6 cloth triangles and a fabric button on top.
Flex fit caps are made from spandex and stretch to fit your head. These hats were super popular in the 1990s.
Strapback caps are similar to snapbacks, but they use an adjustment poly band or leather band to match the head diameter.
Five-panels are very trendy amongst fashionistas and they usually have a strapback closure for adjusting the size.
Trucker caps were usually used by farmers and truckers. This cap is made with foam and mesh and are good for action sports or working outside.
