My dad is a farmer and just about every agriculture company or business hands out branded caps constantly (they're very functional for a farmer). Probably had well over 300 in our basement before my mother went through and purged them a few years ago! Now my brother has a rotation of about 10 that he chooses between to match his outfits/what function he's going to.

Hi Antonio! What I'd also to like add to the cinematic history for the baseball cap is from a the movie: "OVER THE TOP w Sly Stallone" way back 1985. The trucker/arm-wrestling character he portrayed - "Lincoln Hawk," would always turn his cap around where the visor would transfer to the back of his head before an arm-wrestling match - which acts like a switch-ON button for the match. Never forgot that "Bonneau Baseball Cap" from that movie.

I got used to wearing baseball-style caps while in the military. Any time I went to a different unit, they had that unit on their 'cover' that was everyday work attire. Sometimes one would collect several caps with the same unit. Since I have retired, I have a collection of over 100 baseball-style caps. Many are from my time in the service (and I don't wear any more) but many are either military related or from places I've been that either didn't have my tee shirt size or a tee shirt that I believed was cost-appropriate. Very much enjoyed the video!

I've worn ballcaps since I was a young high school kid 40+ years ago. But now as an older guy I abide by certain rules. I only wear them if I am also wearing jeans, shorts, or sweatpants (the latter I only wear to the grocery store and other minor errands). Anything more formal I go with a flat cap. And I have never worn one backwards since my 30th birthday. There's a time and a place for baseball caps and it's good to know when they are.

Hi Antonio. Hope you're well, mate. Excellent video. I have quite a cap collection because I have been shaving my head for the past 25 years. I started off wearing it to protect my skin up top from the harsh African sun, but it quickly evolved into part of my style and fashion. I know we're not supposed to wear it when in a suit but I recently wore a cap with a suit at a funeral - obviously while outside to shield the sun only. I got two compliments on how well it worked with my suit. As a rule we shouldn't but because it was scorching outside I had to. It matters on the type of cap, the colour as well. The flat peak is a no-no because it gives off too much of a rap or ghetto vibe; go instead with the slim, curved peak, minimum design. It works. Kind of made me look like I was going to take a classy football team photo.

Two reasons why I did wear a baseball cap even though I am not a fan... As you can see on my picture, my hairstyle is bold. On a hot summerday at an outdoor event, I went without and due to my hairstyle I was burning up! I had to buy one on the spot to prevent further agony and it served another purpose when I did put it on. It didn't matter anymore that I have a shaven head, as it didn't matter if I had hair or not, the cap solved that too. Still no fan of caps tho, but it's functional. Great video Antonio. Thumbs up

I'm not in love with baseball caps, and never have been; I'm more of a flat-cap sort of guy. But I've been wearing them more in the past couple of years, sicne they're at least practical: they keep the sun out of your eyes while driving, and they keep water from dripping into your face when you're wearing a hooded raincoat. That's about it, though, and I've chiefly been wearing them since buying a car.

They are more practical since they are only brimmed in the front making it easier to wear even in a car. I still wear a cap but with no logo. Caps can looks kiddie on some guys.

Hi, I have lived 10 years in northen Italy. Speaking with many italian girls and observation I had an impression that general rule in Italy is that if you are older than 12 years old, baseball caps are allowed for sport, sightseeing, grocery shopping, various physical works in a sun, etc. Never try to pick up girls, or joining a party in a baseball cap. If you really need to wear one, avoid caps with big, colourful logos (wearing such caps in italy is considered a low status symbol unless you have a good excuse: for example, you are a Ferrari enthusiast on Ferrari meeting, or you go on hip-hop concert, or if you really stay behind the message on your cap), make sure it is sunny, so you have an excuse to wear it.

I am something of a "hat person." I have about 16 hats with brims, some of them custom made to my specifications and costing several hundred dollars apiece. While I was working, I was given many promotional ball caps, which I gave away or disposed of. I presently have three ball caps. Mostly, I wear them when shooting. They keep the sun out of my eyes, protect my face from flying cartridge cases and are compatible with hearing protectors. Thus I will concede some utility to ball caps. Otherwise, I regard them as a low and vulgar garment. I have but a single flat cap, but I wear it far, far more often than all my ball caps together.

Would have liked to have heard your opinion on the appropriate curvature of the brim of the hat. Used to be that players would bend the edges of the brim downward after purchase, breaking it in a bit. But nowadays I see lots of young men leave the brim straight.

Guys love baseball caps because they are not heavy on the head, they provide shade to see well, they are small and don't cost a small fortune so you don't have to worry about crushing them or getting them wet, they look sharp and they are quintessentially American. Guys are never going to stop wearing them and that's good.
