Editing Baseball cap (section)

=== Variations ===
Baseball hats are made of many types of material and shaped in various styles for different purposes. Major and minor league baseball players wear classic-style hats made of [[wool]] (or more recently, [[polyester]]) with their team's simple logo and colors; the logo is usually [[Embroidery|embroidered]] into the fabric. More recently there are brands that are using uncommon materials for snapback hats as for example wood brims.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.capcollectors.com/feature/want-wooden-brim-strapback-weve-got-covered/|title=Want a wooden brim strap back?

Formerly, baseball hats only came in standard hat sizes. Since the early 1970s, they have also been available in a one-size-fits-all form, with an adjustment strap in the back. The style, commonly called snapback, has become increasingly popular as a fashion accessory,<ref name="men's fashion">{{cite web|url=http://www.mensfashionmagazine.com/mens-fashion-trend-snapback-caps|title=Mens Fashion Trend: Snapback Caps|access-date=2014-04-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140427233748/http://www.mensfashionmagazine.com/mens-fashion-trend-snapback-caps|archive-date=2014-04-27|url-status=dead}}</ref> as have team caps, popularized especially by rap and hip-hop musicians.<ref name="clair"/> Advances in textiles have led to the "stretch-fit" hat, which uses Lycra or rubber to allow a hat to have a fitted style while still being "adjustable" within sizes.

The front may be soft, or may be stiffened by [[buckram]] to display a logo more clearly.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://threadlogic.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/whats-the-difference-between-a-constructed-and-an-unconstructed-cap/|title=What's the difference between a constructed and an unconstructed cap?|last=Taxdahl|first=Jeff|date=2012-12-20|access-date=2017-01-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170107101605/https://threadlogic.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/whats-the-difference-between-a-constructed-and-an-unconstructed-cap/|archive-date=2017-01-07|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Another version of the baseball hat is a plastic mesh hat with a foam front imprinted with a company logo. This style is sometimes called a [[trucker hat]] or a "gimme hat" because it is given away for free as a promotional item.

There are 4 major types of baseball hats:
{{anchor|Snapback (hat)}}
# Snapback hat – (hat with a snap closure in the rear) with flat brim, high profile, adjustable.
# Adjustable hat – (hat with a velcro closure or buckled strap in the rear) unstructured, low profile, curved brim, adjustable.
