Papa Nui A-26 Shinki Horsehide Cap

The Papa Nui A-26 Shinki Horsehide Cap is a beautiful limited edition mechanics style cap that is realised in Shinki Hikaku Horsehide. Shinki has a naturally rustic and antiqued grain and is a textured luxury hide that darkens and smooths with time and wear.

This cap is the perfect pairing with any A-2 aviators jacket and its colour is rich and deep and is offset with tonal stitching. A herringbone twill sweatband keeps the cap comfortable to wear and the pliable visor allows a nonchalant flip-up implying a devil may care attitude. Drawing inspiration from these Jet Jockeys and their custom caps, Papa Nui has worked closely with Japan’s finest leather facility in Himeji, Hyogo prefecture, and the John Lofgren Company to introduce the A-26 cap.

Available in a range of finishes: Rough Out, Veg Tan, Natural Veg Tan, Olive and Black Tea Core.
