Cap holder

Abstract

Exemplary embodiments are directed to cap holder for caps each including a crown and a visor. The cap holder includes a support panel positioned against a front surface of the crown of a topmost cap of the caps. The support panel includes a perimeter edge defining a first side and a second side of the support panel. The cap holder includes a structure positioned under the crown of a bottommost cap of the caps. The cap holder includes a drawstring movably connecting the first and second sides of the support panel to the structure. Tightening of the drawstring engages the support panel against the front surface of the crown of the topmost cap and engages the structure against an underside of the crown of a bottommost cap to prevent disengagement of the one or more caps from the cap holder.
