They made their first appearance as early as 3,200BC.[1] Caps typically have a visor, but sometimes have no brim at all.[2] They are popular in casual and informal settings, and are seen in sports and fashion.[2] They are designed for warmth, and often have a visor to block sunlight from the eyes. They come in many shapes, sizes, and are of different brands. Baseball caps are one of the most common types of cap.[3]
