Hothead Baseball Cap

Whether you love it for the flavor, the challenge, or the post-consumption euphoria, chile pepper elicits an unmatched sensation. Real enthusiasts know that the more chile you consume, the easier it gets to tolerate, so climb the Scoville scale by choosing this cap from our chile pepper line. Featuring an iconic chile shape illustrated by New York-based artist Paulina Ho, this piece packs just the right amount of heat.

The Cooking Superfan capsule celebrates ingredients that have the ability to transform a dish. Our chile pepper cap joins fellow New York Times Cooking favorites like cheese, cilantro, garlic, mushroom and peanut butter. Take your tastes beyond the kitchen with hats, shirts, sweatshirts and patches that celebrate the flavors we can’t live without.

Our cream-colored baseball cap features a single ingredient illustration on the front and the Cooking logo on the back. The bill and adjustable strap match each other in a contrasting color. Handmade in Queens, the caps are produced by Winner Caps, a family-owned manufacturer that specializes in American-made headwear.
