Long Visor, Short History Lesson

The Pike Brothers 1942 Ball Cap in Dark Red Moleskin takes us back to the 1940s, when baseball caps were already finding their way into military life. Particularly popular among pilots, these caps often featured an extra-long visor to help keep the sun out of their eyes. Period photographs show plenty of airmen sporting this practical piece of headgear.

Made from 100% cotton moleskin, this cap has a soft, dense fabric with a distinctive velvety feel. Don’t let the name fool you – no moles were harmed in the making of this cap. Moleskin is simply a tightly woven cotton fabric, traditionally prized for its durability and comfort.

The rich dark red colour adds a handsome touch to the vintage military-inspired design, while the extra-long visor provides plenty of shade. Ideal for sunny days, road trips and anyone who prefers their headwear with a little aviation history. Flying licence not required.
