Display your caps without stretching, crushing or distorting them

Most hat hooks hang a cap from a single point inside the band. Over time that concentrated weight stretches the band, leaves pressure marks, and pulls the cap out of shape.

CapCradle™ was designed specifically for flat caps, newsboy caps and scally caps. Instead of hanging from one point, it supports the entire rear portion of the hat band and spreads the weight across a broad surface — so your cap keeps its natural shape while it's on display.

It also holds the crown and brim clear of the wall, so nothing gets flattened and you don't get marks on the fabric.

A two-part mount that hides the hardware

CapCradle™ comes in two pieces. A small mounting plate goes on the wall first, then the cradle slides onto it — covering the plate and whatever you used to fix it. No visible screws, no exposed nail head, no adhesive tab peeking out from under your cap.

It also means you can lift the cradle off the plate whenever you want to rearrange your wall.

Three ways to mount the plate — hardware included

  • Adhesive strip (included) — the easiest option and the one most people use. No tools, no holes in the wall.
  • Nail (included) — an angled hole is moulded into the plate so the cradle sits flush and the weight pulls down into the wall rather than away from it.
  • Screws (not included) — two recessed holes let you screw straight into a stud, or use your own wall anchors. Best for heavier hats, textured walls, or a permanent install.

A flat cap weighs only a few ounces, so the included adhesive strip handles it comfortably. The nail and screw options are there for heavier hats or surfaces where adhesive won't stick.

What's in the box

  • CapCradle™ hanger and mounting plate
  • One adhesive mounting strip
  • One nail

Every cradle ships as a complete set, so a 3-pack includes three cradles, three plates, three strips and three nails. Everything you need to put them on the wall is in the box.

Available in three colours

White, Black and Bone White. Building a full wall display? The 3-pack works out cheaper per cradle.

FAQs

Will this stretch my cap?

The CapCradle™ was specifically designed to avoid the stretching that can occur with single-point hooks. By supporting the rear section of the hat band across a wider area, the cap's weight is distributed more evenly.

Will the cap touch the wall?

No. The design keeps the crown and brim suspended away from the wall to help prevent pressure marks and flattening.

Will it work with hats other than Boston Scally caps?

Yes. While designed around Boston Scally caps, it works well with many flat caps, ivy caps, and newsboy-style caps.

Can I move it later?

Yes. The included adhesive mounting option allows for easy repositioning. Permanent mounting options are also included for collectors who want a long-term display solution.

Great cap cradle. The parts go together well, the cradles go on the wall easily, and they hold my caps in a gentle and secure way. As my collection grows, I'll buy more.
