Papa Nui Cap Co.

Founded by Australian designer and vintage collector John Tesoriero, a man with over 40 years of industry experience, Papa Nui draws heavily from WWII military history, surf culture, and decades spent immersed in heritage clothing and authentic vintage. Not just facsimile reproductions, Papa Nui caps reinterpret classic military forms through a deeply personal lens, blending function, storytelling, and craftsmanship in equal measure. Made in Japan with military-spec materials and produced alongside John Lofgren & Co., every piece is built to endure hard wear, harsh sun, and years of use, developing character the way great gear should.
