Getting started with your Cap Holder

How to clip the Cap Holder onto your bag, fasten your cap or mouse-ear headband, and check that everything is secure before you head out.

The Cap Holder carries your cap on the outside of your bag, so your hands stay free and your hat stays with you. A zinc alloy clasp clips onto your bag, and a faux leather band holds your hat. It arrives fully assembled.

Before the first use

  • Check the band and clasp for any damage.
  • Open and close the clasp a few times to make sure it works smoothly.
  • Choose where it will go on your bag.

Clipping it onto your bag

  1. Open the clasp.
  2. Clip it onto a sturdy point on your bag, like a zipper pull, D-ring, strap loop, cord or handle.
  3. Make sure the clasp is fully closed.

Attaching your hat

  1. Slide the band around the back strap of your cap.
  2. Fasten the band snugly so the hat hangs securely. You can fasten it in either direction.
  3. Give the hat a gentle tug to check that it's secure before you start walking.

What it works with

It works best with hats that have a back strap, buckle or loop to attach to, including:

  • baseball caps and snapbacks
  • trucker hats and ponytail caps
  • mouse-ear headbands

Hats without a strap or loop, like many wide-brim sun hats, may not attach securely.

Good to know

  • You can leave the Cap Holder clipped to your bag when you're not carrying a hat. It's also small enough to slip into a pocket.
  • It's made for hats. Keep heavy items off it so the clasp isn't strained.
  • It isn't a toy. Keep it away from small children.
