Yakuza Premium Flying Riots Trucker Cap, Navy

Yellow stitching on a deep blue crown

Yellow against dark blue makes a hard contrast, and that is what this cap lives on. FLYING RIOTS arches across the brow, and beneath it a skull spreads its wings. Dirty Money sits to one side, Create & Protect to the other, and the brand name closes the design. The whole motif is embroidered rather than printed, and the yarn keeps its colour for years where a print would crack.

How it is built

The front is closed, which holds the embroidery in shape, while the rear is made of white mesh that lets air reach the head. The snapback sets the width in fixed steps, so a single size does the job. The peak runs to around 7.5 centimetres in the middle and curves slightly. The white mesh sets itself clearly apart from the navy front and makes the cap lighter towards the back.

• base colour navy, embroidery in yellow
• closed front, rear panel in white mesh
• snapback fastening, adjustable in steps
• peak roughly 7.5 cm, measured mid-way
• made from 100% acrylic

Also in red

The same motif comes as a red cap with white stitching, should navy turn out too quiet. The cap goes with a hoodie and jeans as readily as with a work jacket. Clean it in spots with lukewarm water; acrylic takes neither hot detergent nor the dryer.
