The Skyknight. (Hell Cat special edition).
Another magnificent cap that explores the theme of my love for post WWII planes. The Douglas F-10 Sky Knight was a Navy Marine jet fighter designed to escort B-29’s on night bombing missions over Korea in the early 1950’s. Only one aircraft was lost to air combat against a MiG 15. My cap builds highly on this rep! Charcoal Black jungle cloth whip cord, references both Navy fabrications of the era as well as the F-10’s mission role. Under the visor detailing as well as the sweatband is constructed using HBT in olive drab, whilst adding to the comfort and utility of wearing this cap. Styling is typical of early 50’s Naval aviation and draws on the Papa’s all time most popular cap, the Hell Cat with a silhouette that provides maximum cover from the elements. Another rugged piece to accompany your ever expanding kit and one that will age with a unique patina for years to come.
-100% cotton jungle cloth
-HBT internal detailing.
-Army duck canvas visor lining for superior styling options.
-Made in Japan by John Lofgren Boot maker
Oh my Gawd…this one is #33 for me, of the Papa’s creation; and might just be ‘the one’. The one they put on you when you’re in your casket (with a vintage pair Aviators, of course). Love the black jungle cloth on this sturdy cap. I’d pay full price for another one, if I thought I’d wear this one out! But…Lofgren builds caps like he does boots…overbuilt! I really don’t think you’d have seen this quality back in the day, when Zero’s and P-51’s ruled the skies (or even MIG’s for that matter). You might be surprised at how shoddy and quickly some of their kit back then was manufactured. ‘Just get ‘em outfitted and out on the line, the deck or in the skies!’
THIS cap is exceptional! Thanks…again, John and John!
Yes overbuilt is the perfect discription, I love it when you hold them in your hands and you just know by the weight.
Great war style zippo. Well made and really cool!
Nice patch,love it.
Glad one of these gorgeous caps found its way to me right in time for the Swiss Winter!
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.
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.
Took me 55 years to find my favorite hat keep up the good work
Excellent service and what a great hat ! The quality of the material and the fit is perfect. Thank you so very much.
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.
