A self-sizing baseball cap has a visor, a crown, and a hem around the bottom edge of the crown. Within the hem is an elastic band stitched in place, while a slidable woven band is separately stitched to the elastic band. The elastic bands are anchored within the hem that are then stitched to the woven band in order to secure the woven band to the baseball cap. The woven band extends outside the hem across the bottom of a semicircular opening on the back of the crown. The woven band's ability to slide allows the opening to deform in order to allow the cap to accommodate the shape and size of the wearer's head. The elastic bands hold the cap snugly against the wearer's head when in place. Thus, the cap automatically resizes to fit the wearer's head.
