The present invention relates to baseball cap size retaining devices and more particularly pertains to a new baseball cap size retaining device for supporting and shaping a hat while it dries. The use of baseball cap size retaining devices is known in some prior arts.

For example: Cage-like device for holding a hat so that it may be positioned in a dishwasher and cleaned while retaining its shape.

While these existing devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the need remains for a device that is adaptable for a variety of sized baseball caps and includes a frame that allows sufficient airflow for quick drying of a wet hat.

The present invention meets the needs presented above by including a front frame and back frame that are biased apart from each other for stretching a hat while it dries to retain its shape and stiffness.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a new baseball cap size retaining device that utilizes front and back frames that are open lattices for providing better airflow around the hat.
