90-Day Review: Is the NAC Soyat Rhinestone Baseball Cap Worth the Money?

NAC Soyat Rhinestone Baseball Cap Review: 90 Days Later

I needed a cap for weekend wear that had a little extra flash. I decided to try the NAC Soyat Auto Company Logo quality Denim cap in Black-One Size. I read some older reviews about how this store’s quality might be going downhill. That made me skeptical right away.

The biggest question with any rhinestone product is simple: How fast will the stones fall off? I don't buy jewelry often, but when I do, I look for quality that lasts. This cap is a style statement, but it also needs to be durable.

I've been using this specific rhinestone baseball cap for 90 days, or three full months. This is enough time to test its structure, the color fade, and the strength of the stone adhesive. Here is my long-term breakdown of its performance.

Day 1: First Impressions

The package arrived fast. Unboxing was standard. The cap felt heavy, which is usually a good sign for denim. Thin caps feel cheap and lose shape quickly.

What I Liked:

• Density: The denim fabric was thick. It felt sturdy, like it would hold its curved shape.
• The Bling: The stones were very shiny. They caught the light well indoors.
• Color: The black was a deep, true black.

What Worried Me:

I immediately checked the rhinestones. They are clearly glued on. They are not set into metal prongs like quality jewelry would be. For a baseball cap, glue is standard, but it means they rely on cheap adhesive. If the cap gets wet or hot, I expected stones to start popping off.

Verdict: The cap looks great out of the box. But the construction suggests short-term wear. Don't trust cheap glue. It will fail.

Action Step: Wear it carefully. Avoid washing it for as long as possible.

Week 1: Getting Used to Them

I wore the cap five times this week. I was careful not to bump it against anything. I was mostly using it for quick trips to the store or walking the dog in the evening.

The size adjustment mechanism is cheap. It uses a plastic snap-back strap. It works fine, but it does not feel built for repeated changes. If you are sharing this cap, the plastic will wear out fast.

Early Discoveries:

I found the first small flaw on Day 4. I noticed one tiny rhinestone was missing from the corner of a letter. It was small enough that nobody else would notice, but I knew it was gone. This confirmed my fears about the glue.

I checked the material of the "stones." Since they are just glued plastic/glass, there is no plating quality to check, unlike stainless steel jewelry (where you look for 316L). The shine itself held up fine, but losing one stone so quickly was a major red flag.

Verdict: Durability score dropped fast. The cap is already showing weakness. This is a novelty item, not a durable outdoor cap.

Action Step: Plan to replace the cap in about six months if you wear it weekly. If you want high quality, you need to look for stones that are actually prong-set, which is very rare on a budget rhinestone baseball cap.

Month 1: Daily Use

By Month 1, the cap had been worn maybe 15 to 20 times. I started treating it less delicately. I left it in the car, where it got hot. I wore it during some light yard work where I sweated a bit.

This is where the cheap construction truly shows its limits.

Durability Checklist at 30 Days:

1. Missing Stones: Total lost count is now three. Two were tiny accent stones, and one was a main stone in the middle of the logo.
2. Denim Fade: Surprisingly, the deep black color has not faded yet, even with some sun exposure. The denim quality is actually decent.
3. Cap Shape: The curve of the visor and the overall shape are still good. The thick material helps here.

I realized that if I wanted a hat that truly looked great for years, I shouldn't have bought the cheapest option I could find. You have to research other options. If you want to look at more options before buying, start with the homepage. It helps to compare materials and prices before you click 'Buy'.

Verdict: The hat is functional but is actively degrading. If you spend $15 on a cap, expect it to lose 10% of its bling every month.

Action Step: Stop wearing it in hot situations. Heat softens the glue, making stones fall out easily. Keep it cool and dry.

Month 3: Long-Term Verdict

We are now at the 90-day mark. The NAC Soyat rhinestone baseball cap has been fully tested through regular use, including careless tossing onto the back seat and one accidental drop into a puddle.

The puddle incident was actually less damaging than the weeks of being baked in the car. The water damage was minimal, but the intense heat loss caused four stones to pop off after drying.

Final Inspection (90 Days):

Feature	Result	Comment
Total Stones Lost	8	Noticeable up close, but fine from a distance.
Denim Integrity	Good	No major rips or seam failures. Still sturdy.
Color Fade	Minimal	The black color held up better than expected.
Adjustment Strap	Flimsy, but working	The plastic mechanism is the weakest point structurally.

This cap is a perfect example of what happens when you buy a high-flash item on a budget. It starts strong, but the core materials (the glue holding the bling) fail quickly. This matches the general feeling that the quality of these stores is declining. The experience is lost because the product itself is just average now.

Verdict: It serves its purpose as a fun, occasional accessory, but it is not built for longevity. If you need a cap for daily wear, skip the rhinestones unless you pay significantly more for higher quality setting.

Action Step: Store it in a cool closet, not in a hot car, to preserve the remaining rhinestones.

Would I Buy Again?

No, I would not buy this specific NAC Soyat rhinestone baseball cap again.

My reasoning is simple: I would either buy a much cheaper, true throwaway cap (under $10) or I would invest in a mid-range cap (over $50) that offers better structural elements and maybe prong-set stones if I could find them.

This NAC cap falls into a bad middle ground. It costs enough that you expect some lasting quality, but the glue fails so fast that the cap looks worn out within three months of light use. If you want a rhinestone baseball cap, remember that the lowest price often means the shortest lifespan for the sparkly parts.

Always check the buyer photos first. If you see photos showing missing stones, assume that will happen to yours faster than you think.
