What is the Button on the Top of a Baseball Cap Called?

If you have seen a baseball cap, you may be wondering about the button on top. “What is the button on the top of a baseball cap called?” 

In short, the button is called a squatchee.Also the button can be called cap top button, cap hat button, hat top button. But why there is a button on the top of baseball caps, and what is the use.

In fact, if we observe carefully, this kind of top button is basically used on the top of six-panel baseball caps, and other hats such as bucket hats and peaked caps generally do not have top buckles. It's just that six-panel cap are the most popular cap in our lives, so we feel that the hats we see in daily life are all with top buckles.

So why does a six-panel cap have a top button? Because the top of a six-panel hat is a point where six panels come together. If we don't have the top button, we will see that it is difficult for the six panels to meet at one point perfectly, and there will be some small errors. So we need a top buckle to make the cap look beautiful and stylish.

As for bucket hats and five-panel hats, the top is usually a whole piece of fabric, so naturally there is no need for a cap top button.
