The Jake - Grey
$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 cap with a red button, eyelets and brim, with interior red 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.

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.

5 OUT OF 5 STARS!
"Just got my first Boston Scally cap and I’m absolutely hooked! This thing is incredibly well made, solid stitching, premium materials, and you can tell real care went into every detail. The colors pop beautifully, and the fit is spot on right out of the box no awkward adjustments needed. It feels authentic and stylish without trying too hard. I’ve already placed an order for three more because I know I’m going to be wearing these all the time. If you’re on the fence about trying Boston Scally Co. , just go for it you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend! Thanks for making such killer caps!"
