The Cap Guide

Since 2013, we’ve focused on one thing: perfecting the baseball cap.

Whether it’s your first or your fourth, we want you to find a cap that fits seamlessly into your life. This guide is designed to help you choose the right cap for your needs.

WHAT TO CONSIDER

1. Scenario

The intentional use of the cap and what type of climate in which you’ll wear it.

3. Shape

How you want the cap to feel and look on the head.

4. Size

How you want the cap to fit around your head.

1. SCENARIO

Start by considering when and where you’ll wear your cap. Each collection is designed around two factors:

  1. How you plan to use the cap

  2. The climate in which you’ll wear it

We design using high-performance fabrics selected to suit different uses and weather conditions.

2. Shape

Shape refers to the style and how the cap look on the head. We offer three different shapes to suit different preferences and head shapes. Each has a unique front profile and silhouette that gives the cap a different look and feel when worn.

3. Size

As cap specialists, we know that one size does not fit all. That’s why our caps come in different sizes—from Small to X-Large—paired with an adjustable strap for a truly tailored fit.

Once you find your size at Varsity, you’ll know it for life. Our sizing is consistent across all forms and styles.
