The Ampal Creative has been making hats in Los Angeles since 2007 — every one of them Made in USA since 2010. Small runs cut from premium and often one-off deadstock fabrics, finished with the details that separate a good cap from a cheap one: satin linings, herringbone underbrims and a proper chino twill sweatband. When the roll runs out, that hat is gone.
For the City Series III, we continued the vintage athletic theme, but wound the clock back a few decades to that iconic "stadium" wool & satin look but with a few subtle upgrades. The 9.5 oz tech polyester serge is similar to but nicer than what's currently used in the "league" & has a few advantages over wool blends. Wick n Dry - engineered to wick moisture away & stay drier, cooler & more comfortable. The Serge Twill weave is resilient & better able to withstand wear & tear. A timeless green satin underbrim & front panel lining "cap" it off.
