I never leave the house without my baseball cap, sunglasses, ski mask, and crowbar.

[martinhaub]

I started wearing cowboy hats and haven't worn a baseball cap ever since. The Stetson does a far superior job of blocking the sun but also serves as a portable umbrella when needed. But unlike baseball caps, they don't fold up and go in my back pocket.

Being from Iowa, I always called the trucker cap a seed corn cap because grandpa always gave my dad and I his new caps from his seed dealer.

[jamalshabazz]

The fact that you TEACH style and fashion is impressive. As a hat fan, I’m loving this.

[siralexander]

One reason why men wear hats is so they can shade themselves from the sun

[bobzenx]

I didn't realize the functionality of a ball cap until my son played Traveling baseball, and we would be in the sun all summer.

My dad is a farmer and just about every agriculture company or business hands out branded caps constantly (they're very functional for a farmer). Probably had well over 300 in our basement before my mother went through and purged them a few years ago! Now my brother has a rotation of about 10 that he chooses between to match his outfits/what function he's going to.

Hi Antonio!
What I'd also to like add to the cinematic history for the baseball cap is from a the movie:
"OVER THE TOP w Sly Stallone" way back 1985. The trucker/arm-wrestling character he portrayed - "Lincoln Hawk, " would always turn his cap around where the visor would transfer to the back of his head before an arm-wrestling match - which acts like a switch-ON button for the match. Never forgot that "Bonneau Baseball Cap" from that movie.

I got used to wearing baseball-style caps while in the military. Any time I went to a different unit, they had that unit on their 'cover' that was everyday work attire. Sometimes one would collect several caps with the same unit. Since I have retired, I have a collection of over 100 baseball-style caps. Many are from my time in the service (and I don't wear any more) but many are either military related or from places I've been that either didn't have my tee shirt size or a tee shirt that I believed was cost-appropriate. Very much enjoyed the video!

[vggtden]

Great video Mr. Centeno. I'm excited to see why we do and the different rules.

I love Flexfit hats. My favorite. I wear one every day. My go-to is the wool blend. I have nine of them in various colors.

[kurtericmunroe]

I had no idea there was so much to learn about caps. Thanks. I want a fitted cap.

[moorshound]

I cannot believe i'm watching a video all about caps.

[berenddevries]

Great video Athonio. Most of the times I wear caps in winter to keep a little more heat in the body or in summer to prevent a sunstroke/ heatstroke. Indeed only basic colors and for me personaly no loud logo's or sportteams.

My grandfather wore them until he passed about 10 yrs ago. He wore ATL Braves caps 🧢, he was a life long ATL Braves fan. He also worked outdoors and wore many straw hats.

Hi Antonio. Hope you're well, mate. Excellent video. I have quite a cap collection because I have been shaving my head for the past 25 years. I started off wearing it to protect my skin up top from the harsh African sun, but it quickly evolved into part of my style and fashion. I know we're not supposed to wear it when in a suit but I recently wore a cap with a suit at a funeral - obviously while outside to shield the sun only. I got two compliments on how well it worked with my suit. As a rule we shouldn't but because it was scorching outside I had to. It matters on the type of cap, the colour as well. The flat peak is a no-no because it gives off too much of a rap or ghetto vibe; go instead with the slim, curved peak, minimum design. It works. Kind of made me look like I was going to take a classy football team photo.

[willstott]

Great video and thank you for the mention of skin cancer prevention. This is an underrated reason to wear a hat, and important to the long term health many guys.

[leosigman]

Fascinating. I prefer Flexfit because snapbacks are drafty at the back of my bald head. Although my go-to is a flat cap, giving a little more prtection from sun to the tops of my ears.

[wordwanderer]

Hey! This video arrived just in time. I lost my only baseball cap a few days ago and was going to buy another one.

I need just one, but I want the best one.

[Azur_Vita]

for me it's really about protection from the sun

but i moved away from heavily stylized caps to
simple monochromatic unlabeled caps from NewEra
