Saigon Hellcat Cap
£105.00
The Saigon Hellcat Cap reworks one of Papa Nui’s established shapes with the personalised field gear of the Vietnam era in mind. The reference is to older servicemen bringing well-worn kit back into use, then having it altered by local tailors to suit a new campaign.
Blurred woodland camouflage replaces the original fabric, with colourful embroidery adding the deliberately non-regulation finish. It is a familiar Hellcat silhouette with a different character, combining a practical field cap with the individual touches that made privately customised military clothing so distinctive.
