From is nascent form as the first cap I ever did with John Lofgren in Japan, the Corsair Cap was the beginning. Over a decade has been spent refining the silhouette, subtle changes made from a hundred small observations, and now I have the Hell Cat Cap. Built for the fight to hades and back and tough enough to withstand the netherworld of battle on the campaign trail, the Hell Cat is realized in WWII USMC Frogskin Camouflage and also in a new edition, The San Remo pattern, an Italian variant that draws its linage from the Telo Mimetico, the oldest continuously used design in the world.
The Hell Cat is deep and balanced through crown so as not to create a pinch at the top. The visor is 8cm or 3 1/4” long, wide and square and takes its shape directly from period USN caps.
The Hell Cat Cap is a Zero killer! It a millinery version of its tough and rugged namesake the F6F, and is set to be the dominant cap covering the skies over the Atoll.
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….
So glad Neal, once Ive got you in the fold theres no going back.

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.
Perfect cap, perfect fit! Feeling a little sorry for my cotton caps. Hopefully they’ll get some head time wher the heat comes. Every other time it’s the A-26 from now on.
