The KAVU Organic Strapcap in Wildwood Block is the hat that started it all. Back in 1991 Barry Barr lost his hat to the wind off the Alaskan coast and decided to build one that stays put. More than 30 years later, this 4-panel canvas cap is still hand cut and hand sewn in Seattle.
This version is made from 10 oz certified organic cotton canvas.
Why we love it
The secret is the strap: beefy tubular webbing with a KAVU D-ring adjustment instead of a flimsy snapback, plus bar-tacked stress points and taped interior seams. It's a low-profile cap with a slightly curved bill that you can beat up for years.

About KAVU
KAVU traces back to 1991, when founder Barry Barr lost one too many hats to the wind while running a fishing boat off the Alaskan coast and decided to build a better one. Based in Seattle, they still make fun, tough gear for people who'd rather be outside. Their motto says it all: Get Busy Livin'.
