GUIDE TO Men's Baseball Caps

Rich in sporting history, the earliest baseball caps were made of wool with a leather bill and were worn exclusively by baseball players in the mid to late 19th century. It wasn’t until the late 1970s that the baseball cap was worn off the field and has since evolved into a wardrobe staple. Our collection of men’s baseball caps has been designed with a timeless ‘British’ aesthetic in mind and incorporates both heritage fabrics as well as contemporary technical fabrics, including UPF40.

How to clean baseball caps?
