Can I wash this cap in the washing machine?

No. The care instructions specify do not wash. Spot-clean any marks with a damp cloth and let the cap air dry. The SurfNyl fabric resists stains and odor, so it stays fresh longer between cleanings than cotton.

How does SurfNyl fabric compare to cotton twill?

SurfNyl is a quick-drying nylon that sheds water and dries much faster than cotton. It feels stiffer and more technical than broken-in cotton twill, but it holds its shape better and resists fading and odor. Cotton is softer and more breathable; SurfNyl is better in wet or sweaty conditions.

Will this fit my head if I usually wear large hats?

The snapback closure adjusts to fit most head sizes. It is labeled one size fits all, so it should accommodate a range of head circumferences. If you are at the very top or bottom of the size range for adjustable caps, check the fit carefully when it arrives.

Is the camo pattern printed or woven into the fabric?

The woodland camo pattern is part of the fabric itself, not a print applied afterward. The embroidery is stitched directly into the material rather than sewn onto a patch.

What does mid-crown mean for the fit?

Mid-crown sits between a low-profile cap and a high trucker style. It has more structure and coverage than a flat-brim fitted cap but is not as tall or boxy as a traditional trucker hat. The profile works for everyday wear without looking too casual or too sporty.

SurfNyl snapback cap in woodland camo with adjustable closure

Most casual caps are cotton twill that soaks up sweat, takes hours to dry, and gets stiff and faded after a few washes. This one uses the same quick-dry nylon Birdwell's been cutting boardshorts from for decades—a fabric built to get wet, dry fast, and keep its shape without special care.

That matters if you wear a hat in conditions where cotton would stay damp: near water, during exercise, or in humid weather. The SurfNyl sheds moisture instead of holding it, and the care-free construction means you can toss it in a bag without worrying about crushing the crown or ruining the finish.

Good gift when

Anyone who sweats through cotton caps or wears hats near water
People who want a low-maintenance cap that resists stains and odor
Fans of technical fabrics who prefer gear that dries fast
Snapback wearers looking for something beyond standard cotton twill

Skip it if If you prefer the broken-in softness of washed cotton or need a cap you can throw in the washing machine, this technical fabric requires different care and feels stiffer than traditional twill.

The details

This snapback brings the same quick-drying technical fabric Birdwell uses for boardshorts to a six-panel cap. The material is SurfNyl, a nylon weave that sheds water and dries fast after getting wet. The woodland camo pattern runs across all panels, and the branding appears as direct embroidery stitched into the fabric rather than applied as a patch.

The mid-crown profile sits lower than a trucker cap but higher than a flat-brim style, landing somewhere in the middle for everyday wear. The snapback closure at the rear adjusts to fit most heads without metal hardware or elastic bands. One size covers the range.

Because SurfNyl is a technical synthetic, the care instructions skip washing entirely. Spot-clean when needed and let it air out between wears. The fabric resists stains and odor better than cotton, so it stays presentable longer without a full wash cycle.

This is a limited production run made in collaboration with Elwood, so availability is finite. The camo pattern works equally well on the water, on a hike, or around town when you need something that handles sweat and weather without looking like workout gear.
