The Papa Nui Grease Monkey Cap is a reborn version of the classic A-3 Cap. A new release for this season, it comes in a beautiful 9oz Japanese denim that is made from 100% Zimbabwean cotton. It comes with the exceptional quality and long list of details you’ve come to expect from Papa Nui Caps, including a contrasting Olive drab herringbone twill flip-up visor, herringbone twill sweatband and match taping. The piece is brought together with contrast olive stitching throughout. Despite being issued to aircraft mechanics, the original A-3 Caps became popular with anyone who could get their hands on one due to their comfort and practicality. The Grease Monkey is no different and can be worn with the visor down or flipped up, in true 1940s GI style.
