CAP AND HAT COUNTRY
Ampal Creativetrippy Trout
Back by popular demand, Ampal Creative’s Trippy Trout nylon cap from 2016 has been re-released with an upgraded sweatband, plus it now comes in a longer duck-brim option. Made from lightweight nylon ripstop with a DWR coated upper, it has mesh side panels for breathability and a fit that is unstructured like a vintage baseball cap but deep like a trucker or fitted hat. And of course, it sports that Trippy Trout artwork that caught our eye in the first place. theampalcreative.com
