There are numerous cap companies out there and each of them have their own style and fit. There’s only one similarity amongst all of these companies. They all know a thing or two about making hats. These companies specialize in making the perfect cap for you and your style. During my travels, on the road and on the internet, I’ve compiled a list of some of the major cap companies that I’ve encountered and I think are worth mentioning.
The king of the fitted caps. One of the most widely known and versatile cap companies out on the market to date. New Era makes caps for just about any company, function, holiday, or group you can think of. If you like something, chances are New Era made a collaboration fitted with it.
Estate LA
Moving at the speed of progress, we have Estate LA. This company is making a name for itself in the “fashion fitted” market. They take pride in their craftsmanship and quality and it shows by the list of clients they have under their belt. Their list of collabs with other companies grow steadily every day.
Elm Company
A rising Los Angeles based company that’s been getting major recognition. Their collection is small compared to some of the other companies, but their caps are always quality and one of a kind. They’ve done collabs with a lot of boutiques and stores and have easily become a trusted name in making that perfect logo cap for any organization.
Official
Official’s caps scream originality. Their unique styles and rarity have increased their popularity as well as reputation as a company that can hang with the best. If a boutique or store stocks Official brand caps, then they’re not afraid to break from the norm. Abnormality is the spice of life.

A Japanese based cap company that’s been showing up on some lucky heads in the US. Their colorways and styles are incredibly original. VERY few boutiques in the states carry 7Union caps, and if you’re lucky enough for find one, BUY IT! You might have to take out a loan, but it’s well worth it.
True sports fans will usually have one thing on their heads, and if it’s not horns, cheese, or something else equally stupid, it’s a Mitchell and Ness cap with their team’s logo on the front. They offer a wide variety of sports apparel as well as collaborate with other companies to create truly unique caps.

Another sportswear company that LOVES baseball. Their caps are far from the typical MLB caps you see everybody else wearing. Every one of their caps has to be different from the rest. They do a pretty good job at it too. They also do collabs every once in a while.

For those who like a more snug, classic fit, Flexfit features an elastic band around the inside of the cap that contours to any size head. Despite Flexfit not playing in the league of the “true” fitted companies, their number of collaborations with other companies rival that of even New Era. And New Era makes a LOT of caps.
Just north of Oakland, CA, we have Hella Tight. Whether you’re bay, hyphy, going dumb, or a Whitie, Hella Tight has a cap for you. It’s really hard to describe Hella Tight’s style considering they don’t fit in one true category. To get a full effect of what they have to offer, visit the online store.
Kangol’s caps are for classy acts. You’ll rarely see a Kangol cap that’s too loud or busy. You only get style and finesse with this company. Their simple designs using colors that don’t normally go over 60 dB accent any wearer’s style without overshadowing the wearer themself. They also do collabs with other companies. Classy companies…
Quintin is the “Originator of the 5 panel fitted.” Instead of going the route 99.9% of all cap companies go, Quintin thought that there weren’t enough 5 panels out there in the world. So they fixed that little problem by making more of them. The company’s failry new and have collabed with a few companies. I’m sure their popularity will soar soon enough.
PHILIPPINES REPRESENT!!! Holding it down for all the proud Filipinos in the world, WIP Caps pride themselves in their heritage as well as cap making skills. Founded by a small group of cap enthusiasts, the guys at WIP Caps decided that it would be better to not just admire caps, but to create caps for the rest of the world to admire. They’ve done a pretty good job at it.
The need for success is what drives most of us. Knowing that we, as humans, can accomplish almost anything with a little drive and determination is what fuels the people who make it to the top. People who strive to succeed WILL succeed. Distant Relative recognizes these people, and that’s who they make caps for. Are you a leader?
