'47 Headwear Silhouettes: Fit & Style Guide
At '47, we believe your favourite cap should feel like you’ve owned it for years from the moment you put it on. All of our hats have a lived-in feel that has been appreciated by fans since 1947.
Innovation has always been a key part of our DNA at '47. Today, that’s exemplified by our iconic headwear that features silhouettes including:
The '47 CLEAN UP: The original relaxed classic
At a glance:
- Crown: Low profile, unstructured
- Visor: Curved
- Material: Garment-washed cotton for a soft, lived-in feel
- Closure: Adjustable fabric strap with buckle
When you want that easy, had-it-for-years feel, then you need The '47 CLEAN UP.
We created this type of Dad Hat more than 30 years ago as an alternative to the stiff caps of the day.
With a vintage appearance and a crown designed for maximum comfort. The CLEAN UP stands out with simple, real designs and a focus on everyday wear.
The '47 MVP: structured and versatile
At a glance:
- Crown: Mid profile, structured
- Visor: Curved
- Material: Durable wool blend or premium cotton
- Closure: Adjustable hook-and-loop or snap-back
For those who prefer a bit more shape, the '47 MVP is the perfect middle ground.
Unlike the CLEAN UP, this silhouette features a structured crown that maintains its form, giving it a slightly more athletic and crisp aesthetic. It still features that classic curved visor and adjustable closure, making it a favourite among fans who want a secure, snug fit.
As a proud partner of Major League Baseball and the NFL, we’ve ensured the MVP delivers a timeless look no matter where you are.
The '47 CAPTAIN: the vintage snapback
At a glance:
- Crown: High profile, structured
- Visor: Flat (can be curved)
- Material: Premium wool blend
- Closure: Iconic plastic snapback
The '47 CAPTAIN is our nod to the classic snapback style. It features a structured crown, a flat visor, and that iconic plastic snapback closure.
If you’re looking for a silhouette with a bit more height and a "boxier" profile, this is it. The CAPTAIN is all about bold self-expression. It provides the perfect canvas for iconic symbols and logos.
It’s a modern take on a vintage classic.
The '47 HITCH: a legacy-inspired fit
At a glance:
- Crown: Mid-to-high profile, structured (pinched)
- Visor: Curved
- Material: Premium cotton or specialty fabrics
- Closure: Adjustable plastic snapback
The '47 HITCH is a unique, heritage-inspired silhouette that features a structured, pinched crown and a curved visor.
It’s a slightly higher-profile fit than our standard caps, offering a distinct look that feels both retro and modern.
