RVCA Odai Washed Dad Cap Black

An embroidered flower flips the script on the standard dad cap

This dad cap is part of the RVCA collab with artist Odai, a name that fits within the brand's ANP program, the one that hands full creative control over to illustrators instead of settling for a standard logo. The white and red embroidered flower, thin stem and delicate petals, breaks away from the raw logos found on most dad caps on the market, bringing an almost botanical touch to a category that usually plays it minimal or goes for oversized lettering. The RVCA name tucked discreetly above the flower confirms the brand's hand without ever overpowering the artist's work, a real editorial choice rather than just another branded product.

The 100% cotton twill on this reference is washed to deliver that soft, slightly irregular texture typical of premium dad caps, far from the rigidity of classic snapbacks. The dad cap fit stays low and unconstructed, with a natural brim curve that settles in with wear instead of being forced straight out of the packaging. The flower embroidery is precise petal by petal, with a clearly defined red gradient, a real sign of craftsmanship compared to the flat, textureless embroidery found on lower-tier models. The back closure through a metal buckle, engraved with the VA logo, rounds out this piece with a detail that confirms the finishing level expected from an RVCA product.

The wash applied to the cotton twill softens the fiber from the first wear, skipping any uncomfortable break-in period typical of raw cotton caps. The unconstructed build naturally molds to head shape over the weeks, a real plus for anyone chasing the comfort of an already broken-in cap rather than a stiff model that needs work. The metal buckle holds its closure over time with zero play or self-loosening, and the washed cotton holds up well to repeated washing without losing its deep black tone, a real guarantee of longevity for a piece built for daily use across multiple seasons.
