What Types of Caps Are There?

Cap styles at a glance: brim and sizes

The five Soulbuddy styles differ mainly in their brim, material and fit. The table shows you at a glance which brim each cap style has and which head circumference the sizes are made for:

Cap style Brim KIDS S / M / L ADULT
Snapback cap flat 40–45 / 45–49 / 49–54 cm 55–60 cm
Trucker cap curved 40–44 / 44–48 / 48–53 cm 54–60 cm
Sports cap curved 40–44 / 44–48 / 48–53 cm 54–60 cm
Performance cap slightly curved 40–45 / 45–49 / 49–54 cm 55–60 cm
Dad hat curved 40–44 / 44–48 / 48–53 cm 54–60 cm

For kids, the actual head circumference matters more than their age – our article Measuring kids’ head circumference shows you how to measure it. You’ll also find all measurements in our size chart. Love the snapback look but prefer a curve? Then you can shape the flat brim afterwards – here’s how: Bending a cap brim.

The Snapback Cap – Our Classic

The Snapback Cap – Our Classic

The snapback cap is where it all started for Soulbuddy. This classic with its flat brim, structured front and adjustable snap closure stands for the casual streetwear look. Thanks to its many colors & designs, it is a timeless all-rounder – for both adults and kids.

The Trucker Cap – Classic & Breathable

The Trucker Cap – Classic & Breathable

The trucker cap is instantly recognizable by its typical mesh fabric at the back of the head. This makes it particularly breathable and ideal for warm days. The curved brim provides a sporty, casual look – perfect for everyday wear, festivals or the beach.

The Dad Hat Baseball Cap – The Evergreen

The Dad Hat Baseball Cap – The Evergreen

The dad hat represents a relaxed, timeless look. Unlike the classic baseball cap, it is not reinforced at the front, so it adapts particularly comfortably to the shape of the head. With its curved brim and soft cotton fabric, it’s the comfortable companion for every day.

Other types of caps: fitted cap, stretch fit cap, 5-panel cap and military cap

When shopping for caps, you’ll come across a few more styles besides our five. We don’t carry them – but here’s how to recognise them at a glance:

Fitted cap

A fitted cap is completely closed at the back and has no closure. That’s why it only comes in fixed sizes, and you need to know your exact size. With its high front and flat brim, it looks very similar to a snapback. For kids it’s rather impractical because it doesn’t grow with them. If you like the look, a snapback cap is the more flexible choice: it can be adjusted at the back.

Stretch fit cap

A stretch fit cap is also closed at the back. A stretchy band inside makes it hug the head – usually in two or three size ranges instead of one fixed size. It’s often called a “Flexfit cap”, although Flexfit is actually a brand name.

5-panel cap

The 5-panel cap, also called a camp cap, is made of five fabric panels instead of six: at the front there’s one wide panel without a centre seam. Typical features are the low, flat crown and the short, flat brim. At the back it’s usually adjusted with a thin strap and clip. It’s popular with outdoor and skate fans.

Military cap

The military cap, also known as an army cap or cadet cap, has a flat top, a straight upright crown and a short brim. Its shape comes from uniform caps – today it’s a relaxed everyday classic.
