There are other forms of adjustment used on baseball caps including a strap with Velcro on it or an elasticised back these are not snapback caps just adjustable caps.

Finding Good Quality Snapback ...
... Caps

There are a lot of snapback caps on the market, but not all of them are made to a high standard. Those that aren't do not last long the brims droop, they fade, come unstitched and worse the poppers on the plastic straps do not stay in place. However, with a bit of care you can find good quality snapback caps.

If you can afford to buy branded caps do so they tend to be the best of the lot. Look for caps with double stitching. Cotton twill is the best fabric, it looks better for longer, keeps its shape and absorbs dye well. This means that they do not fade in the sun as quickly as other kinds of snapback caps. Most caps have a logo on the front, as a general rule embroidered logos look good for longer than printed logos.

Free Fall UK has a wide range of snapback gaps available on their site. They are all made from high quality cotton twill and have embroidered logos.
