The A-3A (Test modified).

The progression of all things is essential, form follows functions, old lines are renewed and our A-3 is reworked.

The fabric remains the same. The backbone of the Army Air forces the M-1941 Herringbone Twill light shade OD #5 is rugged, hefty and durable and able to withstand the rigors of action on the new frontiers of weapons testing.

A construction makeover creates a cap of unparalleled beauty with a revised visor of an all natural canvas liner resulting in a superior hold and allowing for more customised styling options to suit your individual expression. A nomenclature tag of printed cotton nominates this cap for service and the hand inked ‘A’ designates its use for the testing facilities of the Manhattan Cap Project.

As close to perfect as you’re going to get

You get what you pay for. Quality fabric, beautifully constructed and with really nice attention to detail. A long, firm lined brim is perfect for wearing flat, or flipped high. Just a really lovely cap.

Best hat I’ve ever worn

I’m a bit of a hat collector, fitted only. Once I put this on the others seemed just wrong. Will be buying more

Meets Up to an Original

Very happy with the A-3! I have an original deadstock for comparison and it's up to the original. The bill seems stiffer, which I like. Otherwise fabric, design all spot on. Enjoyed the artwork labels, pins too. I retired from the UC Berkeley Lab where Oppenheimer and crew were recruited, so the Manhattan pitch was hard to resist.

Definitely the best A-3 anywhere! The visor is lined with natural canvas not some shitty cardboard hence it has more body and more customising options as it holds its shape beautifully.
