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.
