Jack was a hand radio enthusiast and went by the handle “Happy Jack” on the radio and virtually everywhere else.  He was also a coal miner, and in that world, the term “hat” meant his mining hat.  The hat he wore from the trucking company or feed store was a “cap.”  If he said to his kids, “Go get me my cap”, they knew he meant whatever old deep fit trucker that was his current favorite.  When it came time to name the new venture, Happy Jack Cap Company seemed a forgone conclusion.

With her inspiration and research firmly in hand, she created a cap for her dad and each of his 5 brothers.  These caps tell their stories.  The colorways are vintage, the build is vintage, and the feel is expressly blue collar.
