Men's canvas cap

caps of this type - with a top pulled to the peak of the peak at the front and darts at the back of the head - were once part of workwear. The shape quickly spread outside the working world, with a variety of materials, patterns and even variations on the classic shape making their way in. Mayser makes this cap from a linen fabric that features a vibrant micro-pattern. Unusual (and fit-friendly) is the stitching at the back of the head.

When Leonhard Mayser opened his “Hut Macherey” in Ulm in 1800, he would hardly have guessed that Mayser hats would one day be a global brand, with an annual production of 3.5 million hats in 1963 (a record output that is unsurpassed ever since). Although the production figures are far lower today, Mayser can still call itself a global brand. Based in Lindenberg in the Allgäu, the former “Small-Scale Paris” of hat fashion, Mayser sells its hats in 44 countries. Despite all the changes, the secret behind the company’s success has remained the same over more than two centuries: quality. While the design, purchasing and sales departments are still based in the Allgäu region, Mayser relocated its production in 2002. The brand runs its own manufactory in Slovakia now, staffed with personnel that was qualified in-house.
