The Papa Nui Yeager Cap is the Papa’s tribute to the original Rocket Ace, Chuck Yeager, who punched a hole in the sky in his Bell X-1 Rocket plane, breaking the sound barrier in 1947.
Part of the Atoll Rocket Riders collection, the bright cotton takes cues from Yeager’s supersonic flight in that magnificent orange plane. The brim of the Yeager Cap is made with felt making it sturdy but still soft, so it can be worn down or flipped up. Flexible enough to fold and keep tucked in your back pocket – it wont break!
