Crown profile: Low (unstructured) for small heads or a relaxed look; mid for most heads; high only for large heads Profile, more than size, decides whether a cap sits right or perches on top.
Closure: Strap or snapback for adjustability; fitted only if you know your hat size One-size caps fail at the extremes of head size, and fitted caps cannot be adjusted.
Structure: Buckram-backed front panels keep their shape; unstructured caps fold and pack This decides the look and whether the cap survives a bag.
Material for use: Cotton or canvas for daily wear; polyester or nylon with a sweatband for exercise Cotton holds sweat and stains at the band.
