Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing MMC Baseball Caps

I find the price exorbitant for a cap where the colour fades rapidly.I drive 8k per year so the sun and sweat take a toll and doesn't approve the tired look.
Fear not I tried home dye from Dylon to save my beloved caps.

Dead easy to use. One packet at under £4 will treat 4 hats or probably more within 1 hr.

If you have the green one with the suede peak the leather doesn't take the dye
MMC seem to use cotton thread for their logos so that will be dyed, just like the United Colours of Bennetton.

Synthetics won't take the dye.

I don't know how long it lasts but at £25 a pop saving 8 caps for under a fiver seems worth it.

Until very recently I embroidered baseball caps (along with all types of garments) …….the retail price always makes me laugh, especially music merch or sports stash !
I buy a plain beanie at about £1.25 and a baseball cap £1.50 to £2 . Kids often under £1 .The suede peak one looks like a Beechfield. I would hope all the merchandise gets re-labeled. Embroidery £2 to £3 max
Just remember it’s the Profit that makes them expensive.
Good luck dying

Same problem here in Kiwiland. My cap faded after 2 months wear in our harsh sun. I haven't looked into the re dyeing yet because of the possible damage to the embroidery.
Happy Miles.

Same problem in The Netherlands, every year one fades away, first the green one, last year the blue one!

Here's the solution

Attached photos of the dyed caps.


The Morgan Club Luxembourg cap logo is not dyed as the thread is synthetic unlike to Morgan logos.


So for the squished look it seems TM image manager doesn't like them.

Would you want your Cornish fishermans smock to look like new or faded/with that worked in look ?
Surely a faded baseball cap fits in with the trad Morgan image. And it seems some of you are happy fettling with their caps !
Maybe Supersports and CX guys require a pristine look or god forbid a SnapBack Yupoong with a shiny silver sticker you don’t take off …..(other brands available).
I doff my cap to you all, MM
PS Some get stone washed before I buy them.

I wear a plain all black Nike cap, it is very difficult to see the logo, which I prefer, I have had it for a few years with no visible sign of fade. But must admit preferring the worn retro look.

Yes I don't care either but the Boss has a different view on sartorial elegance.

In the sailing world a very faded Mt Gay rum cap can be worn with pride after salt water and ocean miles turn them pink , doesnt worry me
