Embroidery through Pasadena's year
Caps earn their keep on 74 days a year at 90°F or above, and a perforated performance cap is the cooler choice. Nights in December drop to an average low of 45°F, so a stitched beanie or a hooded sweatshirt over the polo gets used. February brings about 5.2 inches of rain, so let a soaked structured cap air dry on its own shape, away from heat.
