Civilian Captain's hats

Hello everyone,

I have seen some older discussion on this subject, but no one has seemed to have a great answer.

I am wondering where to find a civilian captain's cap like the one on Capt. Engelhorn in the film "King Kong" (see image below). It is somewhat like a U-Boat captain's hat, but without the direct ties to Naziism. I really like this style of cap, but cannot seem to find one anywhere.

Sterkowski has a cool hat they call a "Kashubia Merchant Fleet Cap" (https://sterkowski.com/en/caps/63-peaked-skippers-cap.html) that I like, but I am not a fan of the 1-month shipping.

Does anyone know where to get a civilian U-Boat style cap of decent quality?

Thanks!

Yeah--I just found that site this morning. I'm no expert, but, some of those hats look original--either very cool work or amazing finds!

Looks a lot like this hat:

But with a lighter color body. You might contact them to see if it can be purchased with a natural or white cloth.
