Before continuing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All the calculations required to construct the cap have already been completed and organized in the technical table below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You do not need to perform any mathematical operations if you prefer not to.
You can work directly with the values already calculated for each size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This section explains the geometric foundation of the system, but the practical application is immediate thanks to the value table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nomenclature of the Baseball Cap<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Below are the main parts of a baseball cap, incorporating commonly used synonyms in order to unify terminology and facilitate reader understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a- Front panel (or front gore)<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Piece or pieces forming the front part of the crown. In six-gore caps there are usually two; in five-gore caps, only one.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Front<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In some cases we find a dart between the two center-front panels, joining by pattern construction the lower part of the shared seam.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Central<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

b- Panel lateral (o gajo lateral)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pieza situada en los laterales de la copa, que enlaza los paneles frontales con los posteriores.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Panel<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

c- Side panel (or side gore)<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Piece located on the sides of the crown, linking the front panels with the back panels.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Back<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

d- Crown (or cap body)<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Assembly formed by all the panels or gores that cover the head.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Crown<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

e- Crown seams<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Seams that join the different panels and structure the crown.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Crown<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

f- Eyelets or ventilation eyelets<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Small reinforced perforations, generally placed in each panel, intended for ventilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

g- Top button<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Piece located at the top of the crown covering the upper junction of the gores.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Top<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

h- Upper brim<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rigid or semi-rigid upper piece located at the lower front part of the cap, intended to protect from the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Upper<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

i- Lower brim<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Inner surface of the brim, the part oriented toward the face. It may be lined, color-contrasted or reinforced depending on the model.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Inner<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

j- Inner band<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Strip of fabric placed along the inner circumference of the cap, in contact with the head. Its function is to improve comfort, absorb sweat and stabilize the fit of the cap.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Inner<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

k- Seam tape<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A tape applied over the interior seams of the gores. It serves to cover seam allowances, improve the interior finish and increase durability.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Seam<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

l- Back opening<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Opening located at the rear of the cap that allows the passage of the adjustment system and facilitates adaptation to different sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Rear<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

m- Adjuster<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Adjustment element that passes through the back opening and allows regulation of the cap circumference. It may function through several systems.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

We must distinguish the main fabric, the rigid interfacing and the lining:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • – The main fabric<\/strong> is the outer fabric of the cap<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • – As rigid interfacing<\/strong>, Buckram is commonly used; this is a rigid or semi-rigid material placed between layers to give structure to the crown (especially at the front).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • – Interior lining <\/strong>that covers or accompanies this structure to improve finish and comfort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
