         4 . The cap of  claim 3 , wherein:
 in a state in which the adjacent crown panels are deployed, ends of the coupled outer panel are leaned toward at least one side of the crown panel that is deployed, such that a seam portion is formed.   
     
     
         5 . The cap of  claim 4 , wherein:
 in the state in which the adjacent crown panels are deployed, a seam cover tape is attached in a length direction of the crown panel to cover and surround the first sewing portion and the seam portion.   
     
     
         6 . The cap of  claim 5 , wherein:
 the seam cover tape has a thickness of 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm.   
     
     
         7 . The cap of  claim 5 , wherein:
 the seam cover tape has a width wider than a width of the seam portion.   
     
     
         8 . The cap of  claim 5 , wherein:
 the seam cover tape is made of any one of synthetic fiber and natural fiber or a blend thereof.   
     
     
         9 . The cap of  claim 5 , wherein:
 in the state in which the adjacent crown panels are deployed, the seam cover tape, the seam portion, the lining panel, and the outer panel are fixed by second sewing.   
     
     
         10 . The cap of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the outer panel is made of any one of synthetic fiber and natural fiber or a blend thereof.   
     
     
         11 . The cap of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the outer panel is made of polyester or nylon.   
     
     
         12 . The cap of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the outer panel is made of any one of cotton, rayon, and wool or a blend thereof.   
     
     
         13 . The cap of  claim 1 , wherein:
 a crown part panel corresponding to a front portion of the cap is configured as one crown panel which has a split portion at an upper half, and   wherein the split portion at the upper half of the crown panel is connected by sewing in a state in which the one crown panel is folded.   
     
     
         14 . The cap of  claim 13 , wherein:
 the crown panel is folded outwards so that the outer panel overlaps half and half.   
     
     
         15 . The cap of  claim 14 , wherein:
 the sewing is performed to couple the split portion at the upper half of the outer panel at a distance spaced apart from an edge of the crown panel.   
     
     
         16 . The cap of  claim 15 , wherein:
 in the state in which the crown panel is deployed, ends of the coupled portion of the outer panel are folded each toward opposite sides of the crown panel that is deployed, such that a seam portion is formed.   
     
     
         17 . The cap of  claim 15 , wherein:
 in the state in which the crown panel is deployed, ends of the coupled portion of the outer panel are leaned toward one side of the crown panel that is deployed, such that a seam portion is formed.   
     
     
         18 . A method of manufacturing a cap according to  claim 1 , the method comprising:
 cutting out a plurality of first panels configured to constitute an outer fabric;   cutting out a plurality of second panels configured to constitute a lining;   manufacturing a plurality of third panels, which constitute the crown part of the cap, by attaching the first and second panels;   connecting at least two third panels, which are adjacent to each other among the plurality of third panels, by first sewing;   placing a seam cover tape to cover a first sewing portion and a seam portion which is formed by deploying the connected third panels, and surrounding the seam portion; and   performing second sewing on the seam cover tape and the third panels.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising:
 attaching a sweatband part to an inner periphery of a lower end of the crown part;   attaching a top button to an apex of an uppermost portion of the crown part;   attaching a visor part to an outer portion of the lower end of the crown part; and   adding embroidery on an outer surface of the third panels.   
     
     
         20 . A method of manufacturing a cap according to  claim 13 , the method comprising:
 cutting out a first panel configured to constitute an outer fabric;   cutting out a second panel configured to constitute a lining;   manufacturing a third panel, which constitutes the crown part of the cap by attaching the first and second panels;   connecting an upper split portion of the third panel by first sewing;   placing a seam cover tape to cover a first sewing portion and a seam portion which is formed by deploying the connected upper split portion of the third panel, and surrounding the seam portion; and   performing second sewing on the seam cover tape and the third panel.   
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 20 , further comprising:
 attaching a sweatband part to an inner periphery of a lower end of the crown part;   attaching a top button to an apex of an uppermost portion of the crown part;   attaching a visor part to an outer portion of the lower end of the crown part; and   adding embroidery on an outer surface of the third panel.
