Urban Monkey Caps: Complete Buying Guide
Urban Monkey is a homegrown Mumbai streetwear label, founded in 2014 by Yash Gangwal, that became one of India’s best-known hypebeast cap brands well before it appeared on Shark Tank India (Season 1) – where, notably, the pitch for Rs 1 crore for 1% equity did not land a deal, and the brand grew on its own from there. One thing worth knowing before you shop: despite the name, it has nothing to do with the winter “monkey cap” balaclava – a completely different product covered in our types of caps glossary. It is also worth knowing that Urban Monkey barely sells through Amazon – its actual catalogue lives on Myntra and its own site, so that is where these five picks link to.
Urban Monkey Embroidered Baseball Cap
By far the most-reviewed Urban Monkey cap on Myntra – 3,900+ ratings at a 4.5 average is a genuine track record for a streetwear brand at this price point, and the reason this is the safest first buy if you’re new to the brand.
Structured crown, flat brim, embroidered front logo – this is the silhouette that built Urban Monkey’s reputation, and the one most other picks on this list are variations of.
Urban Monkey Metal Head Trucker Cap
The highest average rating of any Urban Monkey cap on this list, and the brand’s take on the trucker silhouette – mesh back panelling for airflow, paired with the same embroidered-logo styling as the baseball cap picks.
If you want Urban Monkey’s aesthetic but in a more breathable build for warmer weather, this is the pick over the standard cotton baseball cap.
Urban Monkey Ghost Self Design Baseball Cap
The steepest discount on this list and the only pick under Rs 1,000 – a self-design (tonal, non-embroidered) print rather than a raised logo, which gives it a more understated look than the flagship cap.
At 4.6 stars it rates higher than the brand’s best-seller despite the smaller sample, suggesting the self-design finish holds up well in daily wear.
Urban Monkey Colourblocked Super Suede Cap
The material upgrade pick – a suede shell instead of the brand’s usual cotton twill, colourblocked across panels rather than a single tone. It shares the same large review base as the top embroidered pick, which is a strong signal for a premium-material variant.
Suede reads noticeably more premium in person than cotton, and pairs with a smarter-casual outfit in a way the standard cotton caps don’t.
Urban Monkey Foldable Outdoor Self Design Nylon Cap
The travel pick – a foldable nylon build that packs flat, aimed at outdoor/travel use rather than streetwear styling. It is the only technical-fabric cap in Urban Monkey’s lineup on this list.
If you want the brand’s styling for a trip rather than daily wear, this trades some of the structured-crown look for practicality.
