Baseball cap hits European popular culture
In the 1960s, a radical change took place in Western culture. People wanted to do away with everything old, and the otherwise well-established and widespread use of headwear was now considered unfashionable and old-fashioned. The magnificent, extra-wide flatcaps and heavy woolen eightpieces disappeared. Even the felt hat was phased out, and many of the hat and cap makers of the time were forced to close their shops. Generations of expertise in the trade were lost. But not all headwear lost its relevance. It was during these years, in fact, that the baseball cap became widely popular. There was a yearning for American middle-class culture and an idolization of American sports and movie stars, many of whom embraced the baseball cap. As a result, it regained some of the ground lost in the world of headwear.

O.B.S. It is recommended that you go up 1-2 sizes in this model, mainly because the heavy ear warmers in the cap make it feel smaller than its size suggests.

Bascaps are today extremely common among both women and men. It is perhaps the world’s most popular model, and especially the black basecap is amoungst the favorite cap style in Denmark and the rest of the world. The black basecap from Wilgart is made of wool so that the color does not fade in the sun, and with a strong suede shade which over the years will patinate nicely. A black Baseball cap from Wilgart can be used daily for about a decade.

The same cap is now available in a very light and airy summer version, namely our Benny black summer version (The everlasting cap in light wool)

Or as a signature cap without leather on the Benny Black signature cap
