History of the cap

The first headgear with a visor from the sun was worn by the ancient Greeks. It was called petas and was an element of men’s costume. It was worn mainly by warriors and philosophers. Over time, petas was transformed and became part of the combat equipment of the Romans. This is how it came to Europe.

The Italians, French and English of the Late Middle Ages – the beginning of the Renaissance also had their analogs of modern caps – berets. Then these hats became a symbol of high intelligence.
Also popular were bonnets and bonnets. These models were preferred to be worn by women. In the French military uniform, a headdress with a flat top and a visor called a kepi appeared in 1830.

Types of caps

The modern look of the cap was formed only by 1954 from three seemingly incompatible elements: the shape of jockey helmets, woolen bini and 59Fifty visor. It was this model that became known as the baseball cap. It consists of six gussets, has a curved visor and a metal buckle for size adjustment. It is sewn from natural materials, cut without excesses and assumes the presence of a logo on the front.

Initially, this model of cap was used only by athletes for protection from the sun. Later it became a popular headwear among representatives of all walks of life.

But do not forget about other models of caps. Today there are many silhouettes and their variations: five- and eight-clink, raglan, bunnet, coppola, gavroche, captain’s cap, cartouche, bell, bicycle, jockey, French and Breton caps, visor, beret.
