Docker | Selvage Denim Garage Theme

Brimless cap in Italian selvage denim

Somewhere between a lightweight beanie and a brimless cap, the story goes that these hats were originally worn by fishermen and dock workers to keep their heads warm without obstructing their eyes and ears. This one from Stetson is made from Italian selvage denim, woven on old Japanese looms for that authentic heritage feel. It features a close fit and sits quite high on the head above the ears. Thanks to its contrasting selvage detailing and garage theme styling, this docker cap has serious workwear authenticity, and we reckon it would pair handsomely with a vintage leather jacket or well-worn canvas shirt.

• Jacuzzi, Jetski, Hoover, Stetson When a brand name gets to be shorthand for the product itself, you know its achieved icon status. Since John B Stetson began selling his famous Boss of the Plains hat in 1865, everyone whos anyone has topped themselves off with a Stetson.

  Take the famous Ten-Gallon Hat made famous by silver screen star Tom Mix or the Skyline model worn by Kevin Costner in TVs Yellowstone. President Lyndon B Johnsons distinctive Open Road became so entwined with his public persona that its still sometimes called an LBJ, and rumour has it that Colonel Custer rode to his doom at Little Big Horn in a Stetson.

  For 160 years, Stetson hats have been emblems of their era. Post-war ad men cut deals in their Stratoliner fedoras, jazz cats and members of the Rat Pack sported a Whippet trilby tipped back on their head, and pictures of Lee Harvey Oswalds assassination show rangy US Marshals all wearing their Open Roads..

  As hat-wearing tastes have changed, Stetson have moved with the times. Sure, they still do the classic fedoras and cattleman crowns, but their modern range includes everything from trappers and truckers to beanies and ball caps all manufactured in accordance with John B Stetsons motto, none but sterling quality.
