The box or pill box cap is one of the most popular styles worn by vintage baseball teams, re-enactors, and others with an eye for throwback flair. Keeping true to tradition, this cap is handcrafted using top-notch materials that would have been found on turn of the century headwear. The cap stiffener is genuine hair canvas with a durable visor, and the hat itself is made with 100% cotton twill and a brushed cotton sweatband. Prefer another fabric or different type of sweatband? Please let me know! each cap is custom made to the wearer!

Back in 1989, living in a small 1800's schoolhouse in rural upstate New York, out side the small town of Cooperstown, I found my passion for caps. Working with several companies as a sub contractor, I produced many caps without my label on them.
Feeling a little left out of the cap spotlight,I threw caution to the wind and ventured out on my own. First, step was renting a tiny one car garage in downtown Cooperstown, behind the bakery, at the one street light in town. Then I moved my machines and fabric in and put a hand made sign up "HAND MADE CAPS $22".
The price has changed but the quality has only gotten better! Now handmade in Pennsylvania.

Love the cap, for our vintage baseball uniform. Better still is the great service Norma and crew provided when I ordered the wrong size; Norma rushed me a correct size cap just in time for our team picture...can’t thank you enough for going the extra mile for me!
