What are caps without holes called?

Classic caps are often equipped with an adjustment system at the back, such as a plastic tab (snapback), an adjustable fabric strap, or a velcro closure. But some caps don't have this opening at the back. What are they called and what are their advantages?

The "fitted" cap: a tailored cut without an opening

Caps without a hole at the back are generally called fitted caps. Unlike adjustable models, they are designed in different precise sizes and must be chosen according to head size.

Very popular in streetwear and sports culture, especially in the world of baseball and hip-hop, these caps are appreciated for their uniform and clean look. They provide a more polished finish, without interruption in the fabric.

Why choose a cap without a hole?

Fitted caps have several advantages:

A better fit: they perfectly hug the head and avoid the sometimes uncomfortable adjustments of adjustable caps.
A cleaner style: without visible openings or fasteners, they offer a cleaner and more sophisticated design.
More comfort: the absence of adjustment also means less pressure or irritation at the back of the head.
Better protection: by completely covering the back of the skull, they provide better protection from sun and wind.

Alternatives to fitted caps

Although fitted caps are the best known among the models without holes, there are other types of caps with a similar construction:

Stretch-fit caps: similar to fitted caps, but with an inner elastic band that allows for a better fit.
Military caps (patrol cap): often closed at the back for a structured and practical look.
Leather or rigid fabric caps: sometimes designed without a hole for a more refined design.

Conclusion: a matter of style and comfort

Caps without holes, called "fitted", are ideal for those looking for a snug fit and a more aesthetic finish. They are perfect for a modern look, whether sporty or urban. If you prioritize comfort and elegance, this type of cap might be just right for you.
