An iconic original

The Strapcap is where it all started for KAVU. Their founder, Barry Barr, started making these in the early ‘90s when he got tired of the crappy trucker hats that he wore while skippering commercial fishing boats in Alaskan waters. He wanted to make something that wouldn’t blow off even in a gale, so he used the heavy webbing off a Teva sandal to make a strap that goes right the way around your head – held in place by five heavy bar-tacks. And Strapcaps aren’t just difficult to lose, they’re also pretty much impossible to destroy. Every seam is reinforced with inch-wide grosgrain taping, the bill is polyurethane rather than the usual cardboard, and the organic cotton fabric is heat laminated to the peak, so it’ll never come away. Strapcaps have accompanied their owners on endless adventures over the better part of three decades, so isn’t it time one joined you on your next trip?

Now here’s an origin story for you. Back in the early nineties, fishing boat skipper Barry Barr was fed up with wearing cheap trucker caps that got snatched off his head in storms, never to be seen again. He decided to make a super-durable cap that wouldn’t blow off whatever the weather, and he did it by stitching the webbing material from a Teva sandal all the way around the crown. Turned out his ‘Strapcap’ was a hit, and KAVU was born.

From humble beginnings flogging Strapcaps out of the boot of his car in Seattle, Barry’s since expanded to produce a whole array of durable outdoor kit with a laid-back, van-lifer vibe. The KAVU range takes in everything from sling bags to swim shorts, and while they’re serious about producing great gear that’s made to last, they’re also not afraid to have a laugh. Their prints are bold, playful, and in some cases so loud that they’ll take some considerable chutzpah to carry off – but that’s what makes them so much fun.
