Difference between dad hats and baseball caps:

The primary difference between a baseball cap and a dad hat is that the latter are much more comfortable than the former. This is probably owing to the fact that dad hats are mostly made of cotton or canvas. Another noticeable difference between the two is that the brim of the dad hats has a slight curve which protects your face even more than regular baseball caps. The size also differs a little when it comes to dad hats. They are a little larger on the wearer. Not as tight and taut like baseball caps. This of course is what makes the more comfy choice of the two.
