Let me assure you that every cool, stylish guy in New York City (and elsewhere) is in possession of a baseball cap. Probably multiple baseball caps. The functional, fashionable accessory originated right here in NYC in 1860, with the Brooklyn Excelsiors baseball team pioneering the original look—and giving it its name, the baseball cap. In the early 1900s, the baseball cap evolved into something more visually similar to what we know it as today: multiple panels, a curved brim, with a button on top.

It's been 160 years, give or take, and the baseball cap is still a staple in menswear. I'm sure you have one, if not a couple. These days, there are baseball caps of all different kinds. Stylish ones made from corduroy and cotton and even cashmere, warm and wooly ones meant to keep the chill away from your head, sporty ones championing your support for various athletic teams. A baseball cap can add some style to your outfit, as accessories tend to do, or, if you just want one for the warmth factor, there are plenty of basic, solid options that can provide just that.
