Returns:

The Making:
April and Richer handmake every single thing from scratch here in Rhode Island. Since 2012 we have hand cut and sewn over 10,000 caps. We use USA milled denims and hardware and support small local business for things like pencils, shipping supplies etc. We love old sewing machinery and the textile heritage that New England has. The pencil pocket was an idea that came about from Richer woodworking and making cigar box ukuleles a few years back . Follow us on instagram @apeNbird for more.
