About chain-stitch embroidery
Chain stitch is an embroidery method in which a sewing machine links the thread into a chain of loops. Each stitch rises three-dimensionally, giving a warmth and presence that print does not have. It is a technique long used on vintage workwear and American sportswear, and it is less a decoration than a detail that gains character the more you wear it.A shape that is neither too deep nor too shallow
We planned this cap with a shape focused on just-right depth and a steady fit. Too deep, and the area around the face tends to look heavy; too shallow, and it does not feel settled. This shape is the result of looking for that just-right balance.The texture of denim-look cotton
The fabric is denim-look cotton. It has some thickness yet is easy to handle, and it is easy to wear in any season.02
DESIGN STORY
Design background and details
Designed to be worn by anyone
This cap is unisex. Rather than dividing the balance of depth and size by gender, we aimed for a shape that feels right on anyone.03
STYLING
What to wear it with: styling ideas
With denim or a coverall jacket
Pairing it with denim or a coverall jacket of similar texture creates a cohesive outfit. It also goes well with work shirts and T-shirts, and you can wear it without overthinking.In summer, keep it light with a T-shirt + wide denim
For summer, we also recommend a relaxed approach: a white T-shirt with wide-silhouette denim, with the cap adding a little character. When the weather cools, throw on a military jacket and enjoy a different look. There is no rule that says it has to be a certain way, so try matching it little by little with the clothes you already have.04
