When it comes to quality daily gear, UES always got us covered!

Inspired by vintage fitted caps, UES has recreated the atmosphere of USA baseball caps but with the Japanese appreciation of denim and aging.

Created with UES's specially developed 9oz selvage black denim, the smooth surface will gradually develop a strong vertical texture and reveal a high-contrasted look. For added contrast, the underside of the brim is lined with red chambray fabric. With time, you'll see a surprise flannel lining appear as the brim fabric frays—a beautifully timeless vintage look.

For classic nostalgia, the vintage machine-embroidered patches add a three-dimensional look and are executed with precision. The 6-panel crown construction makes for a comfy fit, and thanks to the elasticated rear, you'll always have the correct size. With vintage machine-made eyelets, you'll stay cool no matter the weather.

As one of our most popular long-time caps, these are some of the best! Do a UES for a good vibe!
