Mechanics Hat - Ink Cotton/Linen

From Standard & Strange

Founded in 2016 by Christian Hofmann, whose experience includes a 12-year career at Ralph Lauren and a lifelong passion for the outdoors, Heimat Textil is based out of and produced in Germany. Every piece they make is built to last, with a solid construction that only gets better with time, softening and breaking in from wear. The company name, Heimat is a German word without a direct translation in English — best explained as a comfortable and secure feeling that comes from being where you belong. Heimat's primary focus as a brand is quality, working with the very best materials and using the most sustainable production techniques to create heirloom-quality staples with German sensibilities. Their garments are made to be lived in, taken outdoors and subjected to the elements, keeping up with your lifestyle — whatever it may be. The designs are classic and stripped of excess, versatile by way of their minimalism, comfortably fitting into a wide variety of different wardrobes. Heimat's Mechanics Hat is inspired by USN watch caps from WWII, with a thick cuff and a fitted crown. The extra tall cuff can be rolled lower to allow for different styling, and the interior hides two custom woven Heimat labels. For the spring/summer season, this batch is made from a breathable medium-weight cotton-linen blend, with a soft crunchy hand that won't insulate your head quite as intensely as wool. Using special blended yarns, this version of the mechanics cap is produced in an "extra-fine" 8-
