CLOSURE TYPES

Hook and Loop

Hook and loop is the name given to the fastening system which uses two sides of material, hook and loop. The hook is the rough, scratchy side and the loop is the soft, fuzzy side. This closure type allows the hat to be adjustable and one size fits all.

Snapback

Snapback hat closures are typically made from plastic and are adjusted by snapping the buttons in the back. This closure type allows the hat to be adjustable and one size fits all.

Fitted

Fitted caps have no mechanism to adjust the size of the cap and have closed backs, with no opening. They come in different sizes and have stretchable fabric or mesh that wraps around your head.
