On 8 December 2007 in Las Vegas, Floyd Mayweather stopped Ricky Hatton in the tenth and kept the WBC welterweight title. Hatton was unbeaten in 43 fights and tens of thousands of Britons had crossed the Atlantic to watch. It is one of the rare world title bouts where Mayweather, better known for his defence than his power, finished inside the distance.
Black on black: the logo shows only through the relief of the stitching, which catches light rather than cutting through by colour.
What tonal embroidery gives you
The stitching is laid over foam, which thickens the letters by several millimetres. The mark reads through the shadow it throws on the cloth, not through colour: head-on under direct light you see a plain black cap; from three-quarters the three letters and THE MONEY TEAM come up clearly. The second TMT stitched at the back works the same way.
Cut and adjustment
Flat brim, structured crown, rear snapback closure. The measurement table shared by every flat brim cap sits on the Everlast snapback listing.
Technical specifications
Worth knowing
A tonal cap goes anywhere: it reads as plain black to anyone who does not know the mark, and reads as TMT to anyone who does. That is what makes it the easiest one in the range to wear outside a training context.
Worth a look
The TMT black and gold cap keeps the black ground and brings the mark up in gold thread. The Mexican version puts three colours into the letters, and the UFC black cap works the same tonal idea on another mark. Everything sits in the boxing caps collection.
Frequently asked questions
Can you actually see a black logo on a black cap?
Yes, through the relief. The stitching is laid over foam and thickens the letters by several millimetres: the shadow it throws makes the mark readable as soon as light comes in from the side, at two to three metres.
What size cap should I get?
The snap closure covers 55–59 cm / 21.7–23.2 in. Measure with a tape about 1 cm / 0.4 in above the eyebrows, around the back of the skull over the bump, without pulling tight.
How many of Mayweather’s wins came inside the distance?
27 of his 50. He was known far more for his defence than his power, which is what makes stoppages like the Ricky Hatton fight in 2007 stand out.
How do you keep a black cap black?
Hand wash at 30 °C / 86 °F maximum, mild soap with no bleaching agent, dry in the shade. Direct sun is what fades black fastest; skip the tumble dryer too, which dulls synthetic fibres.
Is the embroidery raised enough to feel?
Yes. Foam-backed embroidery stands several millimetres proud of the cloth and you can feel the letters under a finger. It is the same technique used on professional baseball caps, where the mark has to stay sharp through a full season.
Single colourway: add it straight to the basket.
