Quick answer
The Hickory Crawdads App State Cleanup Hat by '47 Brand is a relaxed, unstructured cap with a low crown and curved bill, ideal for fans who prefer a broken-in feel and a subtle team look.
Design and materials
This cap features a garment-washed cotton twill construction that gives it a soft, lived-in feel right out of the box. The six solid panels and eyelets provide breathability, while the low crown and unstructured fit create a more natural silhouette that conforms to your head shape over time.
The front displays the Crawdads logo in university colors with raised embroidery details, and the right side adds a smaller Appalachian State 'A' logo. The charcoal base keeps the design versatile for everyday wear.
Adjustment and sizing
A buckle closure at the back allows you to dial in the fit, but because the cap is unstructured, it won't hold a rigid shape like a structured hat. This means the fit depends more on your head size and how you position the curved bill.
The low crown sits closer to the head, so if you have a larger head or prefer more space above your ears, you may find this cap snugger than a high-crown alternative. The relaxed fit works best for average to slightly smaller head sizes.
How to decide if this cap is right for you
- You want a low-profile, casual look: The unstructured low crown and curved bill create a classic ballcap silhouette that sits lower on the head. This works well if you prefer a cap that doesn't add much height.
- You like soft, pre-worn fabric: The garment-washed cotton twill gives the cap a broken-in feel from the start. If you dislike stiff new hats, this is a strong advantage. Keep in mind that the soft fabric may not hold its shape as firmly over time compared to structured caps.
- You need a precise, snug fit: The buckle closure offers a wide adjustment range, but the unstructured design means the cap won't hold a rigid form. If you require a very secure fit for active use, a structured hat with a snapback might be more reliable. Try the cap on or measure your head circumference to ensure the relaxed fit works for your size.
