Is this cap suitable for sports?

What does 'five-panel' mean?
A five-panel construction refers to the way the cap is sewn together, typically using five distinct pieces of fabric to form the crown of the hat, often resulting in a flatter, more structured look common in trucker caps.

Can I machine wash this cap?
It is recommended to hand wash the cap in cold water and air dry. Machine washing or tumble drying is not advised as it may damage the fabric and structure.
Troubleshooting
