Quaker Marine Supply Co.

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Came across this company when a close freind returned from an estate sale wearing one on his head & we decided on the spot that we had to get them for C’H'C’M’. Nice & simple with some real working details. There are 3 styles, firstly the ‘Classic sailing & Tennis hat‘ in a soft cotton twill – this will look better with use as you adjust & shape it to suit your personal style, can be crushed up, thrown into the bottom of your bag & pulled out in times of need, has a nice navy underbrim that helps absorb reflected light. The ‘Swordfish Cap’ is in a heavy canvas with a real long bill  that can be worked & shaped to your preference. The extra long bill as well as the green underbrim really help keep you in the shade. Lastly, the ‘Casco Bay’ hat, in a rigid 11oz natural canvas. Underside of the brim is in green & can be turned up either side & snap fastened to stay put. All the hardware is in brass which creates a great contrast on the canvas.

Look out for some ‘made in Japan’ workshirts coming in over the next couple of weeks.
