The sliding cap for men falls under the umbrella cap category. There are three different types of these.
Slider cap: The slider cap for men is characterised by a flat top. In addition, a small brim sticks out at the front. A so-called brim. The summer models can be easily folded and stowed away.
Balloon cap: The balloon cap has a curved roof. It consists of several parts that all come together at the top in a pom-pom. Since it is made of strong fabrics such as corduroy, felt or tweed, it is difficult to fold.
Shield caps: These are mostly used for uniforms. These caps are especially popular in seafaring. They are considered the forerunner of the baseball caps that are very popular today.
