As I understand, the word "peaked" in peaked cap refers to the visor, not the crown, at least in British parlance, anyway, and which is where the term originated.
Nevertheless, I like Stonemint's use of the term here.

I agree, our friends in the UK use "peak" for the vulkanfiber bill, we use visor here in the states (and save "peak" for the highest point on the cap).
Does lead to confusion, though!NEC SOLI CEDIT
