Ball Cap – Japanese Nep Selvedge Denim

**One size M-L in stock and ready to ship – choose your letter option**

Style and construction

Built by hand from an original pattern, the Maryon Mfg. Ball Cap draws inspiration from the golden age of early- to mid-century styles. 

This cap is cut from an unwashed, 12oz Japanese indigo selvedge denim from Nihon Menpu mill in Okayama, Japan, featuring characteristic white flecks or "nep" throughout. For under the visor, I have used an olive HBT cotton, in a nod to vintage militaria of the early- to mid-20th century.

Drawing from the Maryon Mfg. logo, this two-tone letter style is available in sky blue, burnt orange or taupe, each backed with 100% ecru wool felt, and pays homage to vintage baseball logos and chenille patches of yore.

The front two crown panels are backed with horsehair canvas, a detail borrowed from vintage caps that provides subtle structure without compromising comfort.

Choose from two sizes and either a selvedge rear adjuster, or a veg tan leather strap fitted with solid brass rivets and D rings (see last photo).

Each cap is individually cut and sewn by hand on a 1950 Singer machine, with careful attention paid at every stage of construction.

Built to last and improve with age and wear.
