What is the difference between structured and non-structured
What is a Structured cap?
The most common type of cap is a baseball cap. It is one of the best examples to understand a structured cap. Generally, the baseball cap has six panels sewn together. If the front two panels have buckram inside, the cap gains support and doesn’t lose its shape when not worn. These caps are known as structured caps.
Advantages of structured caps
- These are best to display logo embroidery or military insignia because the structured crown provides constant visibility.
- They convey an alert, spic and span, ready to take action look. Therefore, they are most appropriate for armed forces.
- They fit well on the wearer’s head and don’t fall off easily, so they are best while playing a sport.
Disadvantages of structured caps
- They are less durable as compared to unstructured caps because, with time, they lose their inner material and, therefore, lose their firmness.
- They lack foldability, and therefore, can’t be stored in small places
- They are less travel-friendly, and instead of putting things on top of structured caps, you should revert them and put things inside so they don’t lose their structure while traveling.
Holds it shape. Doesn't fold easily in half.
What is a Un-structured cap?
As the name suggests, unstructured caps have a softer and collapsible crown due to the lack of an inner structure. If taking an example of a six-paneled baseball cap, the front two panels will not have buckram inside.
Advantages of unstructured caps
- They convey a very laid-back, relaxed, or casual look, so if you’re wanting that kind of look, you should definitely go for them.
- They are more durable as compared to structured caps; the only issue they can face is they can be torn more easily, but packing them in your travel bag is much easier without denting them.
- They are easily foldable, and therefore, can be stored in small places
- They are made from softer material and are therefore more breathable and sweat-absorbent
Disadvantages of unstructured caps
- These are not a great option to display logo embroidery or military insignia because the unstructured crown loses shape and reduces visibility.
- They don’t fit as well as structured hats and can fall easily if not supported by elastic closures. Therefore, if an unstructured cap is going to be used for a sport, it should have an elastic rear.
Is more flimsey. Can fold in half.
