Kids Baseball Caps

Children's baseball caps from Hatloom — properly sized, adjustable, and built for the actual demands of children's active outdoor wear. The baseball cap is the most practical everyday head covering for children from toddler age onward: the curved brim provides face shading better than any other cap silhouette; the adjustable back closure accommodates fast head growth without requiring replacement; the lightweight construction is comfortable during sport and activity; and the machine-washable cotton and canvas construction survives the conditions children put headwear through.

Children's baseball caps at Hatloom span adjustable cotton panel caps for toddlers through structured fitted caps for older children and pre-teens. All are sized accurately for children's head measurements — not scaled-down adult sizing — and available in solid colours, patterns and character designs appropriate for different age ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size baseball cap does a child need?

Children's baseball cap sizing: toddlers (1–3 years): 48–50 cm circumference. Pre-school (3–5 years): 50–52 cm. School age (5–10 years): 52–54 cm. Pre-teen (10–14 years): 54–56 cm. Measure around the head 1 cm above the ears. Most children's baseball caps have an adjustable back strap or snapback closure that accommodates 2–3 cm of variation, so choose based on the current head circumference. For fast-growing toddlers and young children, choose adjustable caps rather than fitted caps.

What material is best for a children's baseball cap?

100% cotton is the best material for children's baseball caps — it is soft against skin, breathable in warm weather, hypoallergenic and machine washable. Cotton twill and cotton canvas are the most common constructions. Avoid polyester or synthetic blends for young children who sweat during activity — synthetic fibres trap heat and moisture against the scalp more than natural cotton. For summer outdoor use, look for children's baseball caps with a UPF 50+ rating for face and neck sun protection during prolonged outdoor activity.

How do you care for a children's baseball cap?

Machine wash a cotton children's baseball cap on a gentle cycle at 30°C in a mesh laundry bag or cap cage to maintain the brim shape. Reshape the brim and crown immediately after washing. Air dry on a rounded surface (bowl, hat stand or inflated balloon) to prevent the crown from collapsing flat as it dries. Do not tumble dry — heat shrinks cotton and can warp structured brims. Most children's baseball caps can be washed weekly without significant degradation if cared for this way.
