Taking Over - 5 Panel Caps

Oct 2014 by Route One

5 Panel caps are a fast becoming a staple accessory for the fashion conscious individual as well as extending their roots further into the urban world of sport through close connections with heritage skate brands.

Defined as consisting of a strap fasten, Velcro or buckle back closure, 5 Panel caps are true to their name consisting of only five larger panels providing an almost ‘boxed’ look to the cap in contrast to the ever popular ‘snap back cap’ which generally consists of six constructed stitched panels.

Here we take a closer look at our top five 5 Panel caps from a variety of renowned cap brands such as HUF, Brixton, 10Deep & The Hundreds highlighting a brief history behind each brand and also showcasing both the quality and key features of each cap displayed.

The Hundreds Sprint 5 Panel Cap – Black.

The brain child of Bobby Kim and Ben Shenassafar, The Hundreds came to life in 2003 as a men’s apparel company and online magazine. Taking inspiration from Californian culture and looking closely at influences from the likes of the hip-hop, skateboarding and surfing scene The Hundreds are renowned for their modern twists to classic shapes, patterns and details.

As seen above the Sprint 5 Panel Cap lives up to these influences and executions offering old-skool twists to a modern day cap featuring various retro style badges on a vintage style Nylon upper.
