Monarch Millinery Script Embroidered Baseball Cap

The embroidery on this one is worked in a flowing script across the front panel, which is a different proposition to a blocky logo. It reads as a signature rather than a slogan, and it catches the eye without announcing itself from across the street. The brim is frayed at the edge, so the cap arrives with that softened, worn in character already built in rather than something you have to earn over three summers of use.

Monarch Millinery has made this from cotton, cut as a single piece, in one size. The height of the cap measures 5.1 inches, which is what keeps the crown upright instead of collapsing flat the moment you take it off. Five colours are on the table and the range is unusually well judged. Burgundy is the richest and looks genuinely good in autumn. Gray is the workhorse that goes with everything you already own. Ivory is the soft, summery one that shows the script embroidery most clearly against a pale ground. Navy is the sharpest and quietly the most versatile. Pink is the cheerful outlier for people who want the hat to be the point.

Wear it the way you would wear any good cap, which is to say without thinking about it. Over hair that is not cooperating, on the walk to get coffee, on a long drive with low sun, or pulled on to make a hoodie and jeans look like a decision rather than a surrender. Ivory belongs with linen and tan leather. Burgundy is excellent against cream and washed denim. Gray and navy sit happily next to stripes, black and grey marl. Pink wants to be left alone with plain white or black. The frayed brim means it only improves with a bit of rough handling, so throw it in a bag and stop worrying about it.
