What is a snapback?

A snapback is a type of baseball cap characterized by its flat brim and an adjustable plastic snap closure at the back. This closure allows the hat to be adjusted to fit a range of head sizes, making it a versatile and popular choice.

Here's a breakdown:

• Flat Brim: Unlike curved-brim baseball caps, snapbacks typically feature a flat brim.
• Adjustable Closure: The signature snap closure at the back provides size adjustability.
• Panel Construction: Snapbacks are usually constructed with six panels, although five-panel variations exist.
• Popularity: They gained significant popularity in the 1980s and 1990s, and experienced a resurgence in the 2010s and continue to be a common fashion accessory.
• Materials: Snapbacks can be made from various materials including cotton, polyester, wool blends, and even leather.
