What are dad caps and snapback hats?

If you're a fashion enthusiast or simply someone who likes to keep up with the latest trends, you've likely come across the terms "dad hats", “dad caps”, “unstructured caps”, “structured hats” and "snapbacks." But what exactly are they?

• Dad Hat | Dad Cap (unstructured): are usually unstructured caps with a slightly curved brim that sit loosely on your head, creating a relaxed, laid-back look. They're often made from cotton or canvas and come in various colours and designs.
• Snapbacks (structured): mostly have a stiff, structured fit usually with a flat brim and an adjustable clip-back strap that can be customised to fit any head size. They're primarily made from cotton or polyester and are often customised in different ways.

Both dad hats and snapbacks have become staples of casual streetwear, and their versatility makes them popular amongst people of all ages.

What are the differences between dad caps and snapbacks?

There are a few key differences between dad caps and snapbacks that set them apart:

Design and Style

Dad caps typically have a more relaxed, laid-back look and come in various colours, designs, and materials. Snapbacks are usually stiffer, more structured with an adjustable snapback strap.

 

Differences in Brim Shape and Size

Dad caps typically have a curved brim that is smaller in size, making them perfect for a laid-back and casual look. In contrast, snapback hats have a flat brim that is often larger in size, giving them a more edgy appearance.

 

Angle

Snapbacks have firm and pre-moulded front panels that maintain a near-90° angle, while dad hats feature a more pliable front panel that is gently angled backwards.

 

Difference in Panels

Most dad caps have six panels, while snapbacks usually have five or six. The panels on a snapback are often stitched together more tightly than those of a dad hat.

 

Material Differences

Dad caps are typically made from cotton or canvas materials, while snapbacks are made from lightweight cotton or breathable polyester fabrics.
These two hats have become timeless classics and staples of streetwear fashion, so no matter which one you choose, you’re sure to make a statement with your style.

Adjustability

Snapback hats are always adjustable with a snapback closure, allowing you to adjust the hat’s size and fit easily.
Dad hats usually come in one-size-fits-all and do not have an adjustable closure like an adjustable snap or adjustable strap however with Cubs & Co. Dad hats, we offer an adjustable strap to ensure extra comfort.
