Headwear has many functions: to shield your eyes and your head from the sun, to warm your ears, to keep your hair back or to just hide your hair on those kinds of days. Whether serving as a sun-protection method or a don't-look-at-my-hair cover-up, it also showcases a brand or a message to everyone who interacts with or even just passes by the wearer that day. Here are 11 cap and headwear pieces that could assist your clients in future marketing efforts and help their end-users on bad hair days.
what's in a name?
The FERST-DRY Moisture Wicking, UV Structured Nebula Jacquard Cap with Diamond Plate Peak Inserts from Fersten Worldwide only has such a long name because it has so many awesome features. Constructed of 100 percent polyester nebula jacquard and diamond plate peak inserts, it has six sections with a structured front, four-panel pro-stitch, moisture-wicking performance, a matching adjustable Velcro back strap and, depending on its user, it might help to deliver pizza.

don't call it a comeback
Made from 100 percent acrylic rib-knit, the Comeback Beanie from Holloway Sportswear is warm and soft, but best of all, it has a pom-pom on top. It is available in 15 color combinations. For more information, visit www.hollowayusa.com.

made to perfection
Whether it's a pair of jeans or a baseball cap, getting to that perfectly worn stage is difficult.

hair's to you
Headwear doesn't need to cover the entire head. This 1" Polyester Non-slip Headband from SnugZ USA does just the trick to keep unruly hair in place or to make a statement. It measures 1x18" and includes a 0.5x12" screenprint. For more information, visit www.snugzusa.com.
playing favorites
Everyone has favorites. Favorite food. Favorite TV show. Favorite sports team. The Clutch 5-Panel Constructed Solid Twill Cap from Vantage Apparel gets the favorite cap title.

game on
Instead of the "rally" cap, we bring you the "rival" cap. The Rival Performance Cap from Vitronic Promotional Group has all the specialties of the "rally" cap (and you don't have to wear it inside-out), but it only works against your biggest rival, which should be a major selling point. For more information, visit www.vitronicpromotional.com.
the choice is yours
Leave the visor flat or curve it. End-users can train their Wool Blend Leather Flat Visor Pro Style Snapback Cap from OTTO International Inc. to fit any way they like.
