If clothes say who we are, the clothes that really say who we are are our t-shirts and ball caps. With them we become billboards for sports teams, causes, beliefs, companies and multitudes of other things. The author does a good job of tracing the evolution of the ball cap, from simply a piece of the equipment for a baseball player to being a piece of almost everyone’s wardrobe. We find out how a cap is made, what the proper etiquette for wearing them, about some of the biggest collectors (90,000) and much more. An entertaining and well researched look at the baseball cap. Grade-A

That sounds like a book I would like as someone who owns a closet full of hats!
