# Nifty Nautical Apparel The Kapital Fisherman Cap is Perfect for a Cruise on the Open Seas By Sarah Moore | Published 2012-06-09 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kapital-fisherman-cap References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/giftguide2011/gifts/old-man-and-the-sea-cap.php) & [contextclothing](http://www.contextclothing.com) The Kapital Fisherman Cap is a cozy nod to the hat worn by sailors when they are navigating the treacherous high seas. Made from [heavy-duty cotton from Japan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daiwa-pier39-fw25), the cap is fitted with a [leather closure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/synthetic-leather-collection) sure to secure it to one's head even in the windiest of weather conditions. The company named the garment after Japan's jean capital, Kojima; located on the country's coastline and home to many fisherman and sailors. The [blue and white striped head topper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paname-cap) is loosely fitting to ensure that it securely fits over any melon without the risk of it flying off of the side of one's boat. While it is ideal for the serious sailor, it's not exactly an item made for the thrifty spender as it retails for $200. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Nautical Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion companies to incorporate elements of nautical styles in their designs. - **High Durability Apparel:** Opportunity for material innovation in creating clothes that can withstand harsh weather or conditions. - **Premium Headwear:** Opportunity for creating high-quality and pricey headwear for outdoor activities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Apparel:** Companies in the outdoor apparel industry can use the Kapital Fisherman Cap as inspiration for their own products. - **Luxury Fashion:** Luxury fashion brands can consider creating premium headwear with durable materials for their high-end customers. - **Sporting Goods:** Companies in the outdoor sporting goods industry can create high-quality headwear for outdoor enthusiasts or serious sailors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Extreme Environment Hat Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-planet-earth-hat-v2.md) - [Classic Fisherman-Inspired Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seafarer-cotton-sweaters.md) - [Winterized Woolen Ball Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melin-agame-scout-thermal.md) - [Reissued Heritage Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japanorak.md) - [Leather Streetwear Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/synthetic-leather-collection.md) - [Crystal-Covered Baseball Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/47-brand-x-swarovski-x-new-york-yankees-hat.md) - [Collaborative City Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paname-cap.md) - [Winter Sports Event-Inspired Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-era-cap.md) - [Collaborative Headwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiko-kostadinov-and-new-era.md)
