{"product_id":"u-s-made-mechanic-s-cap-amp-ccc-patch","title":"U.S.-Made Mechanic’s Cap \u0026amp; CCC Patch","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Shown is the cap after one washing with the patch attached. This particular cap has traveled throughout England and Wales during our prototyping process. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetter than a baseball cap, our interpretation of the A-3 mechanic’s cap is made by a family-run business in Los Angeles and comes with an embroidered patch that is an homage to the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is our first batch of A-3 caps, and we chose a nice 9-ounce U.S.-made brown twill for the body, with the inside seams taped in a white herringbone. Each run of caps will be a different color and fabric. So if you don’t like this color, be patient. And if you do like this color, don’t wait to buy it. This fabric is deadstock and discontinued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hat has a soft brim – no cardboard or plastic inside like a cheap hat. They are a tiny bit oversized, but shrink to a true fit after a washing. Like all our workwear, these caps are designed to last for decades and only look better with wear. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo accompany the hat, we designed an embroidered patch based on a vintage CCC patch. The original patch featured “CCC” at the top and a yellow surveyor’s transit. I put a jack plane at the top of the patch and our dividers in yellow on the left.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can buy the hat plus the patch (the patch is *not* sewn to the cap; we leave that to you). Or you can buy the patch by itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hat comes in three sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/3197\/files\/Sizing_order_breakdown.png?v=1789076350\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey run a little large, but they shrink a wee bit during the first wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy did we make an A-3 mechanic’s cap? I love how the brim can be snapped upward so you can do perform close work at the bench. Doing this doesn’t improve your IQ, but it’s a handy feature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joiner","offers":[{"title":"Small hat + patch","offer_id":43855080751167,"sku":"APL-HAT MECHANICS-SMALL","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium hat + patch","offer_id":43855080783935,"sku":"APL-HAT MECHANICS-MED","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large hat + patch","offer_id":43855080816703,"sku":"APL-HAT MECHANICS-LARGE","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Patch only","offer_id":43855080849471,"sku":"APL-PATCH MECHANICS-PATCH ONLY","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/3197\/files\/IMG_3663.jpg?v=1789565931","url":"https:\/\/lostartpress.live\/products\/u-s-made-mechanic-s-cap-amp-ccc-patch","provider":"Lost Art Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
