"The adult xtra small fits like a childs hat not a smaller adult hat. It is not made for an adult and I have tried more then one of the xtra smalls as the small size is very inconsistant and is never the same size one hat to another. I have really tried to like these hats but I am tired of either having a hat that is way bigger then the small measurements they state and the ectra smalls are smaller then the listed size as well the head depth is for childern as it barely fits halfway down the sides of my head. DO NOT GET THESE IF YOU HAVE A SMALLER HEAD."
The Jake 2 - Fire Engine Red
$52.00
This cap goes out to all the good “Jakes” out there. Originating in the early 20th century within Greater Boston, “Jake” serves as an affectionate slang for firefighters in New England. To be referred to as a “Good Jake” is the highest form of commendation among Boston area firefighters, signifying exceptional skill, bravery, and reliability. The term likely stems from “J-Key,” derived from the telegraph keys utilized in the first street-corner fire alarm box system, pioneered in Boston. World War One veterans-turned-firefighters, accustomed to military-issue telegraph keys, possibly coined the term “J-Keys,” which eventually morphed into “Jake.” This slang, originally denoting a firefighter adept at Morse code communication under pressure, gradually became a commonly used term for firefighters in general.
The Jake is a classic lightweight 8-panel red cap with a yellow button, eyelets and brim, with interior yellow fabric and custom ‘Jake’ logo. As a nod to its legacy, this cap features the signature “J-Key” embroidered on the back side panel.
A portion of all proceeds of the sale of The Jake cap will go to The Boston Fire Cancer Foundation, a 501 c3 nonprofit organization that raises money to support members of the Boston Fire Department who are diagnosed with occupational cancer. The Boston Fire Cancer Foundation provides both emotional and financial support to firefighters and their families.

How to Measure Caps
Wrap a cloth measuring tape around your head just above your eyebrows and ears. Pull the tape comfortably snug, read the length, repeat for good measure and use the largest measurement. A piece of string will work too, then just hold it up to a ruler and measure.

Tips for Shipping to preserve the hats integrity.
"I absolutely love the hats and I will continue purchasing them. But I ordered three in my last order and they came stuffed in one box. It left impression rings in two of the hats. If individual shipping is out of the question, and I would completely understand if it was. Perhaps slight thick "Boston Scally" tissue paper, placed between each hat. A+ beautiful hats. Love all four of mine that I've gotten so far. Tha would turn this four star review, into a five-star review for me."
