I want to start my blog talking about something as common and everyday as the cap. Because beyond the store, the history is very interesting.
In its early days, the modern cap had a very basic design. It was originally designed to protect baseball players' eyes from the sun in the 1860s.
The one you see in the image is the oldest cap that exists and was used by the Baraboo Baseball Club team in the city of Baraboo, Wisconsin.
Today, caps look very different and are seen outside the sports arena with different styles and in different countries. But how many types of caps are there today?
If you are a lover of urban style, you will know that there are many. Here I show you the most used and that you can find in my store with the coolest Mexican models.
