This baseball cap is sewn from heavy buyer woven linen fabric and has a lovely mottled light color. The leather strap that can be used to adjust the cap is dermanaged from German cows, where the leather is tanned with the natural acid of the rhubarb plant. An environmentally friendly alternative to the normal chromium tanning process, in which the tannic acid is replaced by rhubarb extract. The leather strap has a subtle Wilgart logo engraved, carved on Bornholm in Wilgart's own cap-sewing workshop. The cap is a sustainable product right down to the bone, and the leather brim increases the cap's lifespan, as it is often the material of the brim that wears out over time.
Our professional assessment is that you can use this cap for a good ten years. Remember that a nice patina is part of the cap's strength.
