A method of making a cap and a cap made thereby. A plurality of panels each having an upwardly extending tapered portion are assembled into a cap with hems along the tapered edges of each panel sewn to the hems of adjacent panels to form the crown of the cap. The tapered portions of the panels are surface ornamented prior to assembly with a decoration having directionally oriented portions which cross the seam of the cap at a crossing angle other than perpendicular to the seams. The directionally oriented portions are extended across the hems to the tapered edges of said panel at an angle perpendicular to the tapered edges. When the panels are assembled into the crown of the cap, the extended directionally oriented portions on the hem of one panel are placed against corresponding extended directionally oriented portions on the hem of the adjacent panel before sewing the hems to each other, so that the directionally oriented portions on the panel one side of a seam will be in exact register with the directionally oriented portions on the panel on the other side of the seam. The directionally oriented portions of the surface ornamentation can be extended along the top surface of the visor of the cap.

An emblem bearing cap attachment has a substantially planar, relatively stiff body defining a forward surface and a rearward surface. A primary crease or folding line extends centrally across the planar body defining an upper facing panel and a lower backing panel. The folding line facilitates folding of the body about and capturing the adjustable straps of a baseball style cap to position the rearward surface of the facing panel in confronting relationship with the rearward surface of the backing panel whereat are fastening means to secure the panels together. The facing panel completely closes the semicircular opening at the rear of the cap and allows the display of emblems or other indicia thereon.
