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 swmbo 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.

Been looking everywhere but I cant seem to find a baseball cap with a peak at the back?

Must be out there because I see plenty of people wearing them?

Arwyn, they are available at specialist hatteries, but at a price! I have several in stock and would be happy to supply you with one. £75 including vat and postage.
