Cap Styles 

Style  Definition
Trucker The hallmark of a trucker cap is the mesh sides and back panels. Truckers come in all shapes and profiles, but the thing that they all have in common is the wonderfully breathable mesh. 
5 Panel As the name suggest these caps are constructed out of 5 pieces of fabric. Formed from two curved side pieces, two upper panels and one arched front, the signature of a 5 panel cap are to have a low profile when worn and a rounded crown that hugs the shape of the head. 
7 Panel Coal's 7 panel is built off a low profile pattern, but unlike its 6 paneled - dad hat cousins - it has a 7th panel across the lower front. The front panel is a perfect surface for the signatures Coal patches.
Unstructured

Made of 5 or 6-pizza slice shaped wedges of fabric, these caps features a rounded silhouette, and are unstructured for easy, comfortable wearing. 

Vintage

The vintage fit has a slightly square shape. These styles are offered as unstructured caps or with mesh inserts at the front. Maybe as a kid you thought the mesh was a make shift sunglasses, or a clever way to keep bugs out if your eyes. Coal employ the mesh as an old-school front panel backing, giving soft shape, without the rigid feel of other backing materials. 

Athletic

Coal's athletic has a tall front crown, with a slightly rounded yet squared off front profile. The front panel is backed in sturdy material, which gives the cap its crisp shape.
