A guide to different types of hat closures

The closure is the back piece of a hat that determines its fit and adjustability. It enables you to find the perfect fit for your head size by changing the size of the hat. The closure helps the cap to hold onto your head without getting blown off by the wind or falling off your head as you exercise. It also makes an impact on your style when you wear the hat.

If you’re buying wholesale hats, the type of closure is something that needs to be thought of along with the hat style, fabric, color, and other factors. This guide compares the most common cap closures to help you find one that fits your bill.

Fitted cap

These caps have a closed back panel with no way to adjust the size. They make up for the lack of adjustability with a stretchable fabric that wraps around your head. A fitted cap is a great choice for athletes and people who prefer to have no openings on their hats.

Adjustable Closure

Hats with adjustable closures are very popular among people for their adjustable fit. They come with snaps, straps, velcros, or hooks that can be adjusted to fit almost any head size. You can choose a fit that is comfortable enough to wear but can be fastened closely so that they do not fall off with every tilt of your head. Here are the common types of adjustable closures found in wholesale hats.

Elastic Closure

An elastic closure is stretchable and can adapt its size to perfectly wrap around your head. These closures require no fine adjustment to find the right fit and will hold on to the head pretty well.

Velcro Closure

This cap closure has the opposite ends of velcro on each of its straps. These surfaces stick together when placed on top of one another and can be detached with a quick tug. The downside of velcro is that they can accumulate hair, fur, or dust and could be challenging to get it out.

Leather

Leather closure gives the hat a touch of class and craftsmanship. These straps generally make use of a metal buckle or slide that can be adjusted to increase or decrease the size of the hat.

Metal Buckle

This is one of the most common of all closure types. It has cloth straps in the back and is adjusted using a metal buckle. Although the metal buckle requires a bit more effort than plastic closures to adjust, they guarantee ample durability. However, they do carry the risk of getting rusted if exposed to moisture.

Snapback closures

Snap closure is a plastic interlocking system that can be closed with a simple snap. This will lock the cap’s size at your preferred fit and prevent it from opening by accident. Snapback also goes by the names press stud or popper strap and is the default closure type for wholesale trucker hats. Many people prefer a blank snapback hat as it is easy to use and maintain.
