Papa Nui L-4 Natural Seeded Chambray Cap

The Papa Nui L-4 Natural Seeded Chambray Cap takes its inspiration from late 1940s style aviation caps and arrives in a beautiful lightweight Japanese Chambray fabric. Two contrasting but nonetheless, beautiful options are available. One of two colour options, the L-4 is also available in Indigo Chambray. With a close crown fit and a generous visor, the L-4 Cap features a trio of grommets on each side to keep your head cool while others are losing theirs. The Natural Seeded Chambray model has a taupe flip-up. With the exceptional construction and attention to detail you’ve come to expect from all Papa Nui models, it is the perfect cap for your warm-weather operations.

Brand

Papa Nui Cap Co. is the creation of John Tesoriero and draws on decades of experience in the heritage clothing industry, along with an enviable collection of vintage clothing and militaria.

The brand creates caps with vintage military, utility and surf influences, inspired by the resourcefulness of GIs and their ability to reimagine and repurpose their kit to suit their environment. Much more than simply a reproduction brand, each Papa Nui cap has a story behind it.

The finest military-spec materials are sourced from Japan and each cap is battle-tested under the rays of the South Pacific sun. Manufacturing is left to the capable hands of John Lofgren & Co., who ensure the finished products are made to the highest standards of quality and ethics, resulting in a cap that will last a lifetime and only look better with age.

Papa Nui Cap Co. was our first brand at Those That Know and we stock every release, including many pieces that are not available anywhere else. As John himself says, “anything else is just a cap”.

Care

The L-4 is a pretty low-maintenance cap and is ready for anything you can throw at it.

When necessary, we recommend machine washing your L-4 cap on a cold cycle. Allow to dry naturally. If your L-4 fits you perfectly, avoid tumble drying as this may result in slight shrinkage.
