Papa Nui
Nassau Sun Hat
£75.00
The Papa Nui Nassau Cap takes its cue from early 1950s service caps, a lighter-weight shape favoured by fly boys who liked to wear the visor flipped. Cut from featherweight cotton poplin in a vivid Bahama Blue, it has an easy summer feel while keeping the familiar martial styling that runs through the Papa Nui range.
Olive drab HBT detailing appears beneath the visor and inside the sweatband, adding structure and contrast without compromising the cap’s lightness. The army duck canvas visor lining gives the peak enough body to hold its shape, whether worn flat or flipped, making this a sharp, practical cap with plenty of period character.
