Ask any person well versed in vintage menswear if they’ve ever seen an original Brown’s Beach Cloth hat and chances are they’ll tell you no, but share a little piece of telephone game history about the styles that Brown’s used to make in RI and Western MA early on, and into the middle part of the 20th century.

Inspired by the myth, we took remnant, in-house Beach Cloth (cotton-linen-wool fabric from our much loved Hope Vest project) and collaborated with fellow Little Compton-er and ball cap maker extraordinaire, Erin Kinnane of Pulp Co. to create a limited run of classic, six panel ball caps perfect for the sunny cool months ahead. Lined with deadstock, indigo dyed, 100% cotton floral fabric and sweatband made locally by legends at Korber Hats in Fall River, MA, who have been in the hat making biz since 1919.

Adjustable leather strap; grommets; one size, fits most- circumference approximately 21-24 inches.

Limited run, hand made in Rhode Island
