Corduroy Baseball Cap

A corduroy baseball cap has been cycling through fashion trends for decades and the current version is unstructured. Meaning the front panels are soft and collapse slightly when you take it off rather than holding a stiff dome shape. The fabric has a visible wale that catches light at different angles, so the same brown cap looks slightly different depending on whether you are indoors or out. I like unstructured caps because they sit lower on the head and the brim has a natural curve from being worn rather than from a factory mold. The cap doesn't need a brand to work. Corduroy texture and the relaxed shape communicate enough on their own. I think the reason these keep coming back is that they are one of the few accessories that get better with age rather than falling apart. My dad wore 1 in photos from the 1990s that looks identical to the one I bought last month.
