The Jake 3 - Black
$52.00
This cap goes out to all the good “Jakes” out there. Originating in early 20th-century Greater Boston, “Jake” is an affectionate slang term for firefighters across New England. Being called a “Good Jake” is one of the highest compliments in the fire service, recognizing skill, courage, and reliability. The term is believed to come from the “J-Key,” a telegraph key used in Boston’s early street-corner fire alarm box system. Firefighters skilled at sending Morse code alarms were known as “J-Keys,” which eventually evolved into the nickname “Jake.”
The Jake 3 is a classic lightweight 8-panel cap in a clean black colorway, featuring a yellow button, eyelets, brim and a custom interior Jake logo fabric and the signature “J-Key” embroidery on the rear side panel as a nod to its legacy.
A portion of proceeds from every cap sold supports the Boston Fire Cancer Foundation, which provides financial and emotional support to members of the Boston Fire Department diagnosed with occupational cancer.

It's a great fitting and looking hat.
"I'm so glad I bought this hat. I wear a 61 and the xl fits perfectly. The hat is sturdy and retains it's shape. Montana wind can't knock it off my head. I love that it supports a Fireman's fund in Boston and the color is very similar to the Pittsburgh Steelers colors."
