The Papa Nui Zeke Cap is a rebuild of a WWII Japanese aviation mechanics cap, the Nipponese A-3 if you will. Like its American counterpart, it is simple in execution, comfortable in wear, practical in styling. A deep-ish crown keeps the cap secure and a stubby visor allows for unobstructed peering into engine cowlings and bomb bays. The rear adjustable lacing, a detail synonymous with most headwear from Japan, allows for ease of adjustment and the rugged, crispy twill provides a robust fabrication to endure the tropical climates of the “greater sphere of prosperity”. Worn by the finest Tokkotai fighting elements, the Zeke Cap is completely original in concept and made with the care and attentiveness to detail as only the Papa’s production facilities can deliver.
