ball cap nation a journey through the world of americas national hat
as the country grows increasingly diverse and complicated americans seek and occasionally find a common thread to unite them . and as jim lilliefors reveals in his new book that common thread is what the baseball cap is made of indeed what has transformed it into americas national hat . as fads go its no longer even a fad but a part of the national identity that for better or worse is a symbol of america . it feeds an illusion that americans cherish that despite their differences and no matter what position they play when wearing a baseball cap theyre all part of the same team . exploring every aspect of caps and their culture including the history manufacturing and evolution of baseball caps ; collecting and caring for caps ; cap etiquette ; and even cap urban legends and packed with photos throughout ball cap nation is a delightful look at a uniquely american phenomenon .
