If you've seen someone wearing what looks like a bandana tied over a baseball cap — but it's actually one piece — you've seen a bandana cap. Some people also call it a brimmed bandana or a Brimdana. Here's what it is, why it's catching on in streetwear, and how to choose one.
What exactly is a bandana cap?
A bandana cap is a curved-brim cap and a bandana stitched together into one piece. The front has the structured brim of a classic cap, which shades your eyes. The crown — the part that sits on your head — is made from bandana fabric, so from the side and back it looks like you're wearing a tied bandana.
You get two looks in one: the sporty shape of a cap and the character of a paisley, checkered or camo bandana. There's no need to tie a bandana and then balance a cap on top of it.
How is it different from a regular cap?
- The crown is soft fabric, not stiff panels, so it sits closer to your head and feels lighter.
- The pattern is the main feature. On a normal cap the logo is the focus; on a bandana cap it's the print — paisley, check, camo or plain.
- It works with more outfits. Because it reads as both a cap and a bandana, it suits oversized tees, hoodies, cargos, denim and sneakers equally well.
Bandana cap vs scarf cap
A scarf cap is a close cousin. It also joins a visor to a bandana crown, but it closes with a bandana tie-back knot instead of an adjustable back. Scarf caps lean more bohemian; bandana caps lean more streetwear. Coseta makes both — see our paisley scarf cap with pink brim and white brim.
How to choose a bandana cap
- Pick your pattern. Paisley is the classic bandana print and stands out. Checkered is clean and modern. Camo is bold. Monochrome goes with everything.
- Match the brim to your wardrobe. A black brim is the easiest to style; a white or olive brim makes more of a statement.
- Check the fabric. Cotton is breathable and comfortable in warm weather — important in Pakistan.
- Check the fit. One-size caps with an adjustable fit suit most heads.
