Each cap is made using wool blend fabric, tight raised embroidery, plus side and back hits. The under visors utilize cotton with three distinct colors being offered up for each style. It is always good to see new brands working hard to bring forth their ideas and concepts.  Stay posted here on UA as we continue to cover DR in future.  See and purchase their full line here.

WIP Fitted Caps

WIP Caps is a new headwear company based out of Manila Philippines, producing unique and high quality fitted caps. Founded in 2007, WIP is the vision of five partners who all have a deep passion for headwear and creativity. Below are WIP’s first introductory pieces to the game. First up are the Pac-Q fitted caps inspired by professional boxer Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao. The front features a custom Pac-Q logo, side “mexi-ghosts” / WIP logo, and full color flagship logo on the back. Next up is their Hunter On Da Storm fitted cap featuring an intricate, ferocious hunter aiming towards the sun. Finally, we have the crisp dark blue, Bird On Da Wire cap. Part of the launching series, this cap also features raised embroidery for the front, side, and back hits. All caps can now be found through the official WIP site and, to start things off here in the states, through Filthy Dripped out in the San Francisco-Berkeley Bay area.
