Caps VS Hats
Generally speaking, the word "hat" refers to any hat that covers your head, with many styles boasting a brim or visor. A "cap" is a hat that comes in a specific set of styles, with an unshaped crown and (usually) a visor in the front.
Because of the brim and other parts of some hats, a cap is relatively softer compared to most hats. Plenty of hats are used as a shade from the sun, but they also serve a purpose as a symbol or ceremonial item. Caps, on the other hand, don't have brims, and their visors can only block one's face from the sun.

Fabrics and Materials Used in Cap Manufacture
Cotton
The most common materials, including ordinary cotton and organic cotton, safe, healthy, comfortable, warm, and light.
Polyester
This artificial fiber is comprised of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and monotheluene glycol (MEG). Polyester is thermoplastic, meaning that it can be melted and reformed.
Nylon
Abrasion resistance is higher than all other fibers, 10 times higher than cotton abrasion resistance, 20 times higher than wool; excellent heat resistance, excellent weather resistance.
Wool
Good drape, not easy to pleat, elastic, and stretchable, more textured, and the gloss of the fabric is more natural and soft. High water absorption, warmth, and durability. The best one is Merino wool.
Linen
It is strong, naturally more resistant, and made from flax plant fibres, so when untreated (i.e., not dyed), it is fully biodegradable.
