The History of Baggy Caps
Want to know more about the history of baggy caps? Well, you’re in the right place. Cricket will inevitably come to mind when you think…
More infoOur intricately designed cricket baggy and traditional caps are made from Melton Wool to give you a cap that lasts a lifetime. We offer woven wool or even polyester custom options for whichever style you choose.
Whilst we have 15 stock colours available, we also offer a Colour Matching service where we can dye the wool to meet your bespoke needs.
We take pride in our caps and ensure that your club, county, school or country have your logo embroidered on the cap rather than printed. It gives an extra sense of professionalism and honour when wearing them on the field.

To offer our customers the best experience, we give visual mockups and implement feedback until you are happy with the finished design.
At Gentlemen and Players, we have supplied multiple professional and international teams with our baggy caps. We are excited by the prospect of working continually with teams worldwide and are dedicated to remaining professional through a personal approach to the design and ordering process.
As far as records are concerned, the first traditional cap seen being worn in photographs was at some point in the 18th Century. Over the years, it’s use has become far more prevalent, particularly within Australia and their infamous ‘baggy green’.
Known for it’s distinct style, the baggy cap does exactly what it says on the tin. It fits on the head with a more ‘baggy’ look coupled with a distinctive peak that is notably different in style to typical baseball cap designs.
The traditional English cap includes a much more fitted design coupled with less excess material and a slightly longer peak for sports people to wear.
At Gentlemen & Players, we believe that a wool cricket cap, in either style, can be the perfect way to represent your club. That’s why we work so hard with our customers to get a bespoke finish that will give them the best cap to represent them and their club, school or country.
For us, the devil is in the detail. We will customise caps from the colour, to extra embellishment, to initials, numbers, or even a fully personalised inner crown.
We want your cap to be exactly that! Your very own with all the hidden meaning, memories, history and culture that comes with it.
