So you want that 1940 US Navy sailor look but can’t be bothered to wear the itchy wool watch cap that most times – if you’re ever lucky enough to find one, is way too tight. Lucky for me – I mean you, Heimat has just dropped its Mechanic Cap in a cotton-linen blend. That’s right, no more sweaty scalp, just pure style while rocking a quintessential menswear accessory.
To get into the weeds with it, know that you’re getting a made-in-Germany watch cap that uses extra fine 8-gauge Cotton Linen, with a generous 9cm brim. Hat wearers, rejoice. Non-hat wearers, get curious.
When it comes to styling, and by extension bad hair days, you can do no wrong with the Mechanic Cap. Just know that the amount you cuff says a lot about who you are as a person. Will your ears be on full display or completely hidden? Maybe half and half? And we haven’t even talked about the consequences of a tilted angle or uneven cuff.
Available for $75 from Heimat.
