“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.
-Completely handmade in Montana USA.
-100% wool.
-Available in Havana Black in an exclusive historical release.
-One size fits most as well is extremely stretchy and accomodating.
-Includes 1930's Red Cross donor pocket tinny. ( see main photo)
***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.
10/10, it’s perfectly shaped and sized even for my big head. A jewel in the collection.
awesome thank you!

Got one! (Finally)
A real piece of functional artwork. The wool…Corriedale Peruvian; wow, not a hint of ichy-ness! Surprisingly, lightweight, but effective at keeping the chill at bay! Truly, a cut above the rest of the crew and their std. 782 winter headgear! Now if we could just persuade the Papa to put a boot in the supply chain commander’s posterior to churn out a few more in black…(for covert night raids onto the north coast of Hokkaido) - I could have a matching set!
Well done William glad you scored one.

What a cap!
Glad one of these gorgeous caps found its way to me right in time for the Swiss Winter!
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.

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.
