Ebbet’s Field Caps for Simple Threads

Ever since I picked up my Imogene + Willie Ebbet’s ball cap, I’ve wanted to do a small run of caps for Simple Threads. About six weeks ago I decided on a color pattern and materials and worked with Ebbets to make it a reality. The upper is a mid-weight grey wool, with a cardinal wool brim, eyelets, and top button. I wanted to keep the green satin visor to keep them traditional. Ebbet’s has been making authentic caps and jerseys since 1987, using the same materials that were used to originally make them. Everything they produce is made in their small Seattle factory with extreme attention to detail. These turned out exactly how I thought they would, if not better. There’s 24 caps in all, and I’ll have them up for sale soon. I hope you guys dig them.

Imogene + Willie Plus Cap

I’m not into sports whatsoever, so the idea of wearing a team cap seems rather silly. I was trying to find a hat I could wear during the more miserable months here in Florida that wasn’t associated with a team. Imogene + Willie are known for their wonderful selvedge denim, which is why for this cap they collaborated with the experts over at Ebbet’s Field Flannels - a company that since 1988 has been creating vintage inspired apparel & ballcaps for just about every team that has ever existed. All made with pride in the USA in their Seattle factory. An indigo colored wool with the infamous plus sign logo keep this cap extremely simple – exactly what I was looking for.

I would strongly encourage watching this short film of the Imogene + Willie story.
