What is a dad hat actually called?
A dad hat is more formally known as a baseball cap or ball cap. The term “dad hat” comes from the popularity of baseball caps among middle-aged, suburban dads back in the 1980s and 90s. The understated, casual style made them a staple for the stereotypical “grillin’ and chillin’ ” suburban dad lifestyle. So while a dad hat’s official name is a baseball cap or ballcap, the casual nickname pays homage to the cap’s longstanding reputation among dads over the years.
Dad hats are usually a 6‑panel cap. That is because the structure typically includes six fabric sections that create the contours. Despite the moniker, dad hats have gained popularity among many demographics.
What are dad hats?
The dad hat serves heritage style with modern universal appeal. Dad hats typically boast these characteristics (though customization abounds):
- Structured 6‑panel shape with canvas durability
- Prominent front panels spotlighting logos
- Signature adjustable snapback closure
- Stiff brim keeping embroidery crisp
- Relaxed crown contours cradling noggins
The structured panel and brim provide ample, visible real estate to showcase designs. So whether gifting loyal customers or staff, these adjustable throwbacks lend kitschy cool with nostalgic nods.

Why do people wear dad hats?
People wear dad hats for the combination of vintage style, comfort, and versatility they provide. The structured 6‑panel design provides ample branding space while the adjustable closure makes sizing easy. And as a streetwear icon, dad hats inject casual retro flair to outfits for many.
What is the difference between a dad hat and a regular hat?
Dad hats refer to classic 6‑panel caps with structured crowns and brim vs unstructured regular ballcaps. Key dad hat signatures include prominent front logo space, rigid sandwich brims, and an adjustable metal or plastic closure.
Are dad hats still popular?
Yes, after a ’90s boom and then fade, dad hats are back as a go-to streetwear accessory and logo canvas, Donned by celebrities and the public alike, their vintage throwback look when customized aligns perfectly with today’s style trends.
Are dad hats out?
While dad hat popularity has fluctuated from the late 90’s heyday, these classic caps remain icons for both promotional and personal styling needs. Contemporary updates like distressing, colorful blocking, and athleisure adaptations have sustained their relevance.
Are dad hats comfortable?
Properly fitted dad hats offer exceptional comfort via structured crowns absorbing contact, lightweight durable fabrics, and adjustable or elasticated closures distributing pressure evenly. Curved sandwich brims also ergonomically combat forehead pressure points.
Do dad hats look good on anyone?
Certain hat shapes inherently complement specific face shapes and body types. But adjusting crown height, brim width, color blocking, and decorated areas allows for flattering most heads. Ideal hat pairings still depend partly on lifestyle needs and personal style preferences too.
Can you wash a dad hat?
The washing method depends on the material and age of your hat. Whether you have a baseball cap, trucker hat, snapback, or a classic dad hat, the safest approach to maintain its color and shape is through hand washing and air drying.
What is the turnaround time on a custom hat order?
Turnaround time depends on whether you go with an off-the-shelf hat with your logo, or you want to customize the details of the hat, such as closure, material, stitching, and more.
- The standard turnaround time for producing an order of off-the-shelf hats is around 2 weeks (plus shipping time). If you have an event shortly, or your in-hand date is approaching quickly, this is likely the best option to meet your deadline.
- The turnaround time for custom hats can vary anywhere from 2 to 4 months, depending on different variables of the order. One variable that comes into play is your delivery date, which will help inform the shipment method of your order.
- Air shipping: 2 – 2.5 months (3 weeks for sample, 1 month full production, 2 weeks for shipping)
- Ocean shipping: 3 – 4 months (3 weeks for sample, 1 month full production, 3 months for shipping)
