The Papa Nui Mike Force Cap is a brand new style modelled on an original 1951 Field Cap silhouette. It’s constructed in pure Melton Wool and comes with a custom hand-machined skull and crossbones MF patch.
Made under the watchful eye of John Lofgren Bootmaker in Japan, the Mike Force Cap is finished with a genuine Army Duck lined visor. Sure to be a hit for the cold months ahead.
On the outskirts of the conflict, in hidden pockets of jungle, under dark canopies of vegetation hundreds of meters high, there operates a secret cadre of individuals recognized only by their black caps, made available by special funding from CISO to the Papa Nui Cap Co. These covers are emblazoned with a skull and bones patch produced locally in the back streets of Saigon.
Worn atop an attire of tiger stripes or béo gams and outfits pulled from Indigenous tribes, the wearers are stealthily traversing the trail as multipurpose reaction units, searching and destroying the enemy in a cat and mouse game of counter insurgency warfare.
