[A Short Brim! The Appeal of the Umpire Cap] Recommended Outfits and How to Wear It

The umpire cap is the hat worn by umpires in baseball and other sports. Unlike a typical baseball cap, the umpire cap's defining feature is its very short brim. While a regular baseball cap is designed with a fairly wide brim, the umpire cap's brim is short.

This short-brim design is there so that it does not block the umpire's view when making accurate calls.

Easy to pair with American casual style, casual clothing, camping and other outdoor fashion

Unlike a casquette or beret, it is a cap, so it is easy to work into your everyday outfits—that is the key point!!

Generally, people with oval or square-jawed (home-plate-shaped) faces are said to suit this type of cap more easily. Oval faces in particular are said to pair well with caps because of the soft jawline, giving a good balance.

However, thanks to their simple design and universal appeal, caps are considered an item that suits everyone. We believe that, regardless of face shape or features, many people can wear a cap and match it with a wide range of styles and clothes. Everyone, feel free to wear a cap that suits your own style!!

The umpire cap has become one of the staple items.

Umpire caps from WORDS, a hat brand from Kyoto.

• Comfortable to wear: Defined by its shortish brim, designed with a depth that suits Japanese people well.
• With a size-adjusting belt: The back of the hat has a genuine leather size adjuster. This means it can be worn by both men and women (unisex).
• A freely shapeable brim: There is no stiffener in the brim, and a wire is placed in the brim tip, so you can raise or bend the tip and arrange it freely as you wear it.
