National Air Service Cap
The National Air Service ‘Forestry Branch’ design was created to acknowledge the contributions of Aerial Firefighting Crews and Aircraft to the ever-increasing threat of forest fires. The Canadair CL-215 was the first aircraft designed specifically for water bombing and we feature the Pratt and Whitney Turbine powered CL-415 on our cap and shirt. Northern Ontario forestry service veterans will see the inspiration the OPAS and present base of the Canadian Bush Plane Heritage Museum continues to provide to present and future generations and to our designs. 100% Brushed Cotton Adjustable

Felt breathes more than you would expect, but for high heat we point you to Panama, raffia and straw weaves.
Most styles run to 7 5/8. For anything beyond, request a custom fit — larger blocks are a specialty of our makers.
Yes — that is exactly what custom requests are for. Tell us the hat and the change; we will see what our makers can do.
