About This Product

2026 Former Crux Cap | The Essential Origin Collection Headwear

The Former Crux Cap in Black is a cornerstone of the brand's "Origin Collection." This isn't just a basic snapback; it’s a rugged, low-profile 5-panel built for those who appreciate the raw, independent spirit of the Former crew. Constructed from heavy-duty cotton canvas and treated with a pre-wash finish, it offers that perfect "lived-in" feel right from the first wear—ready to handle the grit of a long session or a coastal road trip.


Key Technical Features

  • 100% Heavy-Duty Cotton Canvas: Crafted from a durable, high-density canvas that is built to withstand the salt, sun, and pavement. This fabric provides a structured yet breathable feel that holds its shape through constant use.

  • 5-Panel Flat Peak Design: A classic, streamlined silhouette that sits low and comfortable. The flat peak offers a clean, modern aesthetic that defines the contemporary skate and surf lifestyle.

  • Pre-Wash Finish: Every cap is pre-washed to soften the canvas and provide a subtle, matte finish, ensuring it doesn't have that "stiff" look of a standard new hat.

  • Signature Crux Screenprint: Featuring the iconic Crux graphic front and centre. This high-impact screenprint represents the "reaction to tradition" mantra that founders Dane Reynolds and Craig Anderson built the brand upon.

  • Adjustable Snapback Closure: Designed for a customisable "one size fits most" fit, the classic snapback closure is finished with a signature Legacy woven flag label for an extra touch of premium detail.

Why You’ll Love It

The Crux Cap is the ultimate "Origin" staple for your daily rotation. It’s a minimalist powerhouse that pairs perfectly with everything from a technical anorak to a heavyweight hoodie. If you’re looking for a black 5-panel that carries the weight of authentic, rider-owned heritage and actually stands up to the rigours of the Australian elements, this cap is a non-negotiable addition to your kit.

About Former

Former is a surf and skate apparel and media company founded by Craig Anderson, Dane Reynolds, Austyn Gillette and Dylan Rieder, and run out of Ventura, California. It is rider owned and independently operated — the names on the door belong to the people testing the product, shooting the films and signing off the graphics.

Two marks have anchored the brand since 2017: the Crux and the Legacy. They run through the Origin Collection and out across everything else Former makes, from 200GSM cotton jerseys and 320GSM brushed fleece to nylon ripstop trunks and heavy cotton workwear twill. The detailing is where the brand shows its hand — garment washes and pre-shrunk finishes as standard, embroidery where most labels would print, and branded metal hardware where most would settle for plastic.

Former is as much a film outfit as a clothing label. Projects like DEFECT and I Do Believe I'm Wishing, the documentary on team rider Shaun Manners, are made in house and put out online, which is a fair summary of how the whole thing runs: make it properly, release it, let it speak for itself.
