Although a fully-fledge brand at this point, Western Hydrodynamic Research are best known for their original caps. For a period of time their almost-mythical headwear seemed to exist solely for the wearing pleasure of industry insiders and a lucky few but they're now slightly easier to obtain.
This variant of their classic logo cap is made from corduroy. Regular cord has 'wales' (that's what you call the ribs) but WHR's has 'whales'... Smart. The soft ribbed finish of cord lends itself perfectly to cap usage thanks to the tactile finish.
