Baseball Cap 'California' - Stonewashed Grey

Dad Cap 'California' in Grey – Stonewashed Baseball Cap

The California dad cap in grey is a 6-panel style in 100% washed cotton with a stonewashed finish, and its unstructured crown sits low and close to the head. A metal buckle at the back adjusts the width, so one size fits every head.

The muted grey goes with gym kit as easily as with jeans and a hoodie, so the cap stays on after training. The cotton is soft from the first day, which means there is no breaking-in period.

Washed cotton with a cloudy patina

The fabric is washed after dyeing and loses colour unevenly in the process. That is where the pale, cloudy patina of the stonewashed finish comes from, and it comes out slightly differently on every cap. The result looks worn in from day one instead of taking years to get there.

Unstructured crown with a curved brim

An unstructured cap has no stiffening in the front panel. The crown therefore falls forward instead of standing tall, and the cap sits lower on the forehead. The brim is pre-shaped and curved, so it shades the sun from the side as well.

Metal buckle that adjusts to any width

A fabric strap runs through a metal buckle at the back. You can set the width anywhere along the strap rather than in fixed steps, as you would on a plastic snapback.

Embroidered logo on the front

The Gym Generation logo is embroidered in white on the front. Against the pale washed grey it is the only contrast on the cap, which otherwise stays a single colour throughout.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a dad cap and a baseball cap?
The stiffening in the front panel. A structured baseball cap keeps its shape with no head in it, while a dad cap collapses and only takes shape once you put it on.

What does stonewashed mean on a cap?
Stonewashed describes a wash applied to the finished fabric that strips colour unevenly. The result is a lighter, vintage-looking grey. No two caps come out identical, and that is part of the process rather than a fault.

How does the grey California differ from the black one?
Only in colour. Cut, material, logo and closure are identical. The washed grey comes out lighter and shows the wash more clearly, while the black version looks more muted.

Does the cap fit every head shape?
Yes, it comes in one size and is cut unisex. There is no separate men's or women's version, and the width comes entirely from the closure.
