What's in the Barbas Hats x CT line-up
Four designs rotate through this collection. Here's how to tell them apart before you pick one.
Rockstar CT
The star-and-chrome design that put the CT collab on the map. Black base, raised embroidery, curved brim.

Chrome X CT
Where the chrome series meets the CT collab — mirrored chrome crosses on a clean black cap. Also listed under Chrome Barbas.
Crossover
CT Racing & Koridosu Tumbado

Barbas Hats x CT — quick answers
Is the Barbas x CT cap the same as the Chrome Barbas cap?
No. Chrome Barbas is the chrome-finish series on its own. "Chrome X CT" is the one design where both lines overlap — it carries CT collab branding on top of the chrome crosses.
What does "gorra Barbas CT" mean?
Gorra is simply Spanish for cap — the same Barbas x CT pieces listed here. Many customers search in Spanish, since the brand grew out of the Mexican-American scene.
Do CT collab caps come back after selling out?
Some do, as preventa runs. New arrivals land on this page first, then in the full El Barbas Hats catalogue.
Where else can I see Barbas collabs?
The artist collab line is under Barbas Hats x The Rich Kid, and the core range sits in Barbas Hats.
