Story GI-inspired embroidered snapback In post-WWII Japan, American GIs expanded upon the rich tradition of hand-embroidery by customizing their bomber jackets at the local Toyo Tailor shops. Ampal Creative decided to take this tradition even further by applying the same style to their lineup. Made with a cushy corduroy upper and silky satin front panel, this snapback captures the spirit of those iconic designs while the snapback closure nod to history that’s made for the present.

Somewhere along the way between then and now, hats lost their luster and cheaply manufactured caps, cheesy souvenir slogans, and corporate retreat giveaways became the norm. But The Ampal Creative is here to help us all fall in love with hats once more. Starting in 2007, they've tapped the best American manufacturers and created a lineup of hard-wearing caps built to live through your everyday travels. Every Ampal hat is set apart with an unmatched dedication to quality you can see in every stitch. And if that all sounds a little serious, have no fear. Their designs call upon vintage graphics that reference surf and moto racing's heyday to add a carefree, freewheeling accent to your look. Just choose wisely—these things are made to be a faithful companion for years to come.
