I have had a lot of different caps through the years. I think of them as an accessory that many times is needed to complete the outfit you are wearing. Of course many different sports use caps as part of their outfit or team look. Baseball for instance – what would the players look like without their caps? The baseball-cap for me is one of the most traditional caps. You see them on people and in stores everywhere. Of course the cap has changed over the years.
Caps that have been used a lot are for example: the beatle-cap, the motoring cap, French sailor or maybe even the field cap. That is the one that my design is most similar to. I like the baseball-cap a lot but thought it would be better for this look to be more like the field-cap. I have made it to suit the trunks that were designed for Wohill - same strong red colour with distinct black symbols. The sewn wave is also there. Now one definitely doesn’t have to wear everything in a combo but the Wohill surf-line has to have some characteristics that one can follow in the whole line. The Flamingo could be made as a pin or embroidered on the side.
