Slacker cap
My dad was a game warden; he wore the same "Ohio department of natural resources" hat every day for work. I used this pattern and modified the head shape to add fullness and height which is more comfortable and fits a larger variety of hairstyles. the brim was angled down so it can cover your face if you choose. The brim and snap closure were also swapped for plastic free alternatives. Similar to a cycling cap you can fold or crush the brim and it will always return to its shape because your head profile defines the curve

Craftmanship
Caps are cut and sewn by hand in small batches. Precise cutting is extremely important as any variation in the angle will cause issues with the shape
An antique coverstitch machine is used to finish the crown seams. For this hat we chose to highlight these stitches on the outside of the hat
The liner is a vintage Ralph Lauren table cloth with a subtle floral print.
