Yachting Caps When specifying our new crew caps, we chose the "top-spec" options all the way. So the bulk of the cap is made from strong, 100% cotton twill material, with a sweat-resistant hem and reinforcing sewn around the inside. The brims are plastic (not cardboard), and covered in soft fawn-coloured suedette on top with navy covered twill beneath (to reduce glare on the eyes). The size-adjusting strap has a metal buckle, and metal sleeve for tucking away the end neatly. Each is heavily embroidered with a crew position in cotton thread. The quality is excellent as is the price.

Breton Caps This is the peaked boatman's cap that everyone copies, but only the French get right. The Greeks have one and so do the Poles. But ours is the original Breton, naturellement - 70% navy wool and unmatched anywhere. Sizes 54-61cm (measure around your head just above the eyebrows and ears).

Sailing Mug Until the invention of two-way radio, flags were the primary means of communication between ships. The International Code of Flag Signals, at its peak in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, listed literally thousands of phrases, for everything from berthing procedures to medical emergencies. The signals were made up of two, three and four flag hoists, and made comprehensive communication possible even between ships of different nationalities. Today, code flags are mainly used for ceremonial occasions and simple one flag messages such as A (I have a diver down) and Q (requesting customs clearance on arrival in foreign waters). We felt that it would be a shame to lose sight of such a (literally!) colourful language, so have resurrected some of the more interesting words for our new range of t-shirts, mugs and keyrings. CHINA MUGS are cream coloured on the inside and navy out, with the chosen design printed twice on the outside. The image on the far right shows the designs which are common to the whole range.
