“Think of a CHORD cap like your favorite pair of classic black sunglasses — a closet hero and staple accessory that is always within arm’s reach.”

- Mary Orton Scudellari, Founder of CHORD

About the Brand

In music, a chord is a group of three or more notes sounded together that serves as the basis of harmony.  In life, we are able to achieve a similarly harmonious balance across the many roles we fill when we have the right tools and approach our days with a healthy sense of humor. A CHORD cap will quickly become a go-to tool in your toolbelt, seamlessly blending classic style with modern sophistication and helping you strike the right chord no matter where the day takes you.

Why Baseball Caps?

Baseball caps get more play in our closets than any other accessory and yet, the market for women’s baseball caps is… basically nonexistent. There are plenty of brands that sell them, but they’re a white-labeled “toss-in” product — almost always made by a third-party supplier with a logo thrown across the front and no attention paid to fit, fabric or function. Have you noticed all of the puckering and weird puffy spots when wearing the baseball caps you own? Yeah, we did too. Needless to say, we got fed up with crummy caps and gave birth to CHORD.

What Makes a Chord Cap So Great?

CHORD is laser-focused on one thing and one thing only: creating the best women’s baseball cap on the planet. A baseball cap that isn’t an afterthought, it’s the main event. A baseball cap that elevates any outfit and doesn’t care if you haven’t washed your hair in six days. A baseball cap that makes you feel like a million bucks. (Er, a billion bucks, because inflation, lol.) 

Fine-Tuned Features

The CHORD logo? It’s not just a pretty face. It’s a nod to the brand’s ethos and if you look closely, you might notice that it’s actually upside-down piano pedals. As a lifelong pianist, our founder Mary Orton included little nods to her love of music throughout each CHORD cap, including the stitching on the brim which mirrors a musical staff’s five parallel lines. Just like the many hats we all wear, those five lines symbolize the different roles we juggle every day. 

But CHORD isn't just about looking good (although, let's be honest, that's a significant part of it). You’ll also find considered details on the back of your CHORD cap which features an adjustable cognac leather closure and a gold buckle to lock in the perfect fit. To ensure this sucker feels as good as it looks, we’ve included a few more winks inside each CHORD cap including a cognac sweatband designed to forgive the inevitable makeup stain while providing a comfy hug for your head. 

The result? An elevated, smart-casual version of a classic sportswear accessory that can be easily dressed up or down. With a cap this good-looking, you might want to skip washing your hair altogether.

(But maybe don’t. People talk.)
