Profile AKA Crown

A baseball hat profile refers to the structure or crown on the front of the cap above the brim. There are generally four types of baseball hat profiles: A) Structured – standard high crown profile, B) Mid crown profile, C) Mid to Low crown profile, and D) Unstructured – low crown profile.

Closure Type - For ADJUSTABLE Caps

Adjustable baseball caps have closures on the back of the caps that allow you to adjust the size.  Types of closures include: A) Plastic snap, B) Adjustable hook/loop tape (a.k.a. Velcro), C) Adjustable fabric tuck strap with slide closure, D) Metal buckle closure, E) D-Fit closure, F) Nylon strap with plastic buckle closure. 

FITTED Caps Are NOT Adjustable

Fitted caps are not adjustable, since they are fitted to head sizes, and therefore do not have closure types. The back of a fitted cap is closed.

Panels

Panels are different pieces of fabric that make up the top of the cap. There are usually five or six panels in a baseball cap.

Fabric Material

Baseball caps are generally made of cotton, cotton blends, jersey mesh, wool, acrylic/wool blends, and moisture wicking fabrics.

Brim (also known as bill or visor)

The brim of the cap is the piece that protects your face from the sun. It is usually made of plastic which is sewn inside of fabric.

Eyelets

Eyelets are small holes on the top of the cap that allow your head to breathe.  They can either be metal or reinforced stitching.

Buckram

The buckram of a baseball hat is the liner inside of the front of the cap that provides the structure and form. Structured caps have a buckram and unstructured caps have no buckram, giving them the more casual, lower profile. 

Fitted Cap Sizes

Fitted caps have fabric that wraps entirely around your head (no snaps, straps, buckles, or velcro). Fitted hat sizes vary and it is important to measure your head to get the most comfortable fit.

Hat sizes are U.S. hat-size numbers, not head circumference in inches. Measure your head and check the listing for the specific style, because fits can vary. See how to measure your head.

Below are different fitted sizing options to help you in your selection process.

* Excludes FF6777 which is 6 7/8 – 7 3/8 and will fit most regular size heads

Adjustable Cap Sizes

Adjustable caps have snaps, straps, buckles, or velcro and therefore the size can be adjusted. They are available in "one size fits most" sizes for Youth, Adult, and Large Heads. 

Below are different adjustable sizing options to help you in your selection process.

Buying FAQ

Is there a minimum order?

No. You can order one item or a larger quantity. Check the listing for bundles, which are sold in the quantity shown.

How do I choose between fitted and adjustable hats?

Adjustable hats have a closure that changes the fit; fitted hats have a closed back and come in specific sizes. Measure your head and check the product’s size options. See fitted vs. adjustable caps and our size charts.

Can I add a logo or patch?

Many styles can be decorated locally. We do not provide embroidery directly. Check the product listing and discuss the fabric, design and decoration method with your decorator; some styles have existing logos or restrictions.

Can I order for a team or business?

Yes. Check the available colors and sizes for each style, and allow time for delivery and any local decoration. Our team ordering tips can help you plan.

Can I mix colors or styles?

Individual products can be added to your order in different colors or styles when available. For bundles, check the listing for pack quantity and color requirements.

How do I ask about a larger order?

Visit wholesale and bulk information or email sales@sport-smart.com with the styles, colors, quantities and timing you need.

For help choosing a style, see our buying guide.

How to choose the right hat

Start with who will wear the hat, how you want it to fit, and whether you plan to add a logo. Check the individual product page for available colors, sizes, materials and decoration notes.

Choose the fit

Adjustable caps use a snap, strap or other closure to adjust the fit. They can be convenient for groups, but “one size fits most” is not a guarantee that a cap will fit everyone. Youth and larger-head styles are available.

Fitted caps have a closed back and come in specific sizes. Measure each wearer and check the size information for the style before ordering. See our fitted vs. adjustable guide, head-measuring guide and size charts.

Choose the shape and fabric

• Structured or unstructured: A structured crown holds a more defined shape; an unstructured crown has a softer, more relaxed shape.
• Crown and visor: Compare low, mid and high crowns, then choose a curved or flat visor based on the look and fit you prefer.
• Solid or mesh back: Mesh-back styles allow more airflow; a solid-back style offers fabric coverage around the crown.
• Outdoor use: Compare camo, performance and wide-brim styles. Check the individual listing for features such as moisture-wicking fabric or a UPF rating; they vary by product.

Plan for logos and group orders

We sell many blank styles for local decoration, but not every hat is suitable for every method. Check the product description and ask your decorator about the fabric, seams, panel shape and any existing logos before ordering. Some products are sold blank only. We do not provide embroidery directly.

For a team or business, confirm the quantity, color, size mix, stock availability and decoration lead time. A sample can help you check fit and color before ordering for the group. Read our team ordering tips or wholesale information.
