Glendale 5-Panel Cap

The Herschel Glendale 5-Panel Cap, priced at $35 CAD and in stock, is designed in-house by Herschel's Vancouver studio rather than sourced as a generic blank. Its stiff-core visor and reinforced headband maintain a crisp flat crown and brim long-term, preserving shape better than entry-level caps, while the embroidered emblem resists cracking, peeling, and fading from sun and sweat. The cap fits head circumferences 55–59 cm via an adjustable plastic buckle, with the reinforced headband ensuring fit consistency; its structured five-panel design suits a non-stretchy, adjustable fit preference.
