INSPIRATION BEHIND THE BRAND

THE FOUNDER'S STORY

The inspiration behind Caps By Cap stems from a deep-rooted passion for creativity, innovation, and personal identity. Drawing from the initials CAP—Carlos Anthony Pittman—the brand reflects not only a personal legacy but also a dedication to excellence and artistry. Growing up in McComb, Mississippi, and later moving to Las Vegas, Carlos was profoundly influenced by his mother’s stories of his grandfather’s entrepreneurial ventures in the South. These tales of ingenuity and hard work sparked a lifelong love for drawing, art, and business, igniting his imagination and determination to create something meaningful. Carlos’s passion for fashion was solidified while living and attending college in New York City during the late 90s and early 2000s. Immersed in the city’s vibrant fashion and entertainment scene, he signed with Tyson Beckford’s mother’s modeling agency, attended several fashion casting calls, and appeared in commercials, music videos, and MTV shows like Global Groove and Say What? Karaoke. Additionally, working in retail at the Manhattan Mall for Aeropostale and later at Ann Taylor Loft on Madison Avenue provided firsthand experience in fashion merchandising, styling, and consumer trends. At one point, Carlos even considered attending the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York to formally develop the skills needed for fashion design. These experiences reinforced his vision of one day entering the fashion industry. Caps By Cap embodies this journey, blending bold designs, craftsmanship, and a commitment to making Excellence a Habit. The brand stands as a testament to honoring roots while innovating for the future, making each custom hat a symbol of style, quality, and personal expression.

Excellence in every hat—empowering journeys, inspiring greatness.
