“To Hell with Spain, Remember the Maine!” A battle cry on their lips! An homage from the Papa as he knits a watch cap that speaks to the century’s turn, to the birth of empire, to the beginnings of homogeny. The Maine Cap!
This 1898 U.S.N. Knit has been extensively researched from archival photos and reversed engineered by hand knit in a gorgeous lightweight 100% Corriedale Peruvian Worsted wool evoking the ‘seed stitch’ of yesteryear and saluting the iconic predecessor of all naval watch caps. Unmatched warmth to weight ratio!
Stand the watch, be the pride of the fleet, wear the Maine Cap.
Available in Havana Black in an exclusive historical release.
***NOTE: The Maine cap is not subject to discounting. Each watch cap is hand made in exceedingly small quantities and as such is not to be sold at a lesser price. I will not honour any abandoned check out discounting on this item, if you have to think about it chances are it'll be gone before you get back to your cart.
Glad one of these gorgeous caps found its way to me right in time for the Swiss Winter!

Best hat I ever had.
This hat hits every point of interests for me. Fit, quality and historical accuracy. Feels and fits great. Can be worn in any situation, either outside fishing, at the beach, hiking ,or dress it up with a cool look. Packs well in a bag for traveling and can easily pull out and still look great. I have hats from RRL and Kapital and this hat blows them away!! Worth every penny. I love it.

A Real Hat for Real Life
This is without question the best fitting cap I have ever purchased or worn.
Exceptionally well-made, this rugged and durable cap fits like a glove and is already the most frequently worn getting-stuff-done cap in my rotation. This is no "fashion" hat. This ain't "gorpcore." It's a real hat for real life.
Or as Papa would say: The True Gen.

Simply the best.
From the second I popped the **** cat on my dome I started scheming on my second PN purchase. I’ve always been a RRL fitted/soft brim guy but that’s all behind me now. AMAZING quality, attention to detail and a butter soft fit. Till next time Papa….

Fresh patches from R&R!
These patches have an incredibly authentic feel to them, and have a very high level of quality. They genuinely feel like freehand embroidered patches I've brought off of a local tailor! I'll wear them with pride!
