Boston doesn't have Rocky, this hat exudes toughness that comes from the streets of Philly to ringside. Inspired by the iconic cap worn by Rocky Balboa in Rocky IV, this hat delivers a punch. Made from the same fabric, sporting the subtle colored speck pattern that is buried into the fine black and white checker. Lined interior with a small amount of elastic to ensure comfort and support long hours of wear. Tell the world.
PLEASE NOTE: The mill that weaves this fabric stopped producing it and we are still on the hunt to find a replacement. As soon as we find the fabric and it passes our standards we will be producing more. Unfortunately, we do not have a timeline but are hoping it is much sooner than later. Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Step 1: Wrap the soft tape, string, or cord around your head above your ears and eyebrows, where your cap usually sits.
Step 2: Double check to make sure the tape comes down far enough at the back of your head, hitting in the right spot.
Step 3: Take note of your measurement in CMs. If using a string or cord, mark where it meets so you can measure it using a traditional tape measure.
Step 4: Refer to the sizing chart above to see where you land.
For our comfort fit flex back caps, we always recommend sizing down. For our fitted caps, size up for a loose fit and size down if you prefer snug. Caps will usually stretch slightly, but rarely do they shrink.
Unfortunately, there is no universal sizing, so a Medium for one brand might be a Small for another. We highly recommend you measure your head to ensure you have an accurate size before ordering from Peaky Hat.
All of our caps are warehoused and shipped directly from Peoria, Illinois. If you place your order Monday through Friday before noon Eastern time, it ships out the exact same day.
We offer a 45-day window for returns and exchanges. Buying a cap online should be rewarding and enjoyable, not a risk. There is a $5 exchange fee and a $10 refund fee. If you ever have an issue, reach out to support@peakyhat.com and Ryan will handle it personally.
Our fabrics are sourced globally—from US mills to Scottish Harris Tweed and UK linens. The final stitching is done by a highly skilled team in Yiwu, China (the same district that produces caps for Stetson and Goorin Bros). We are completely transparent about this because we choose quality over optics, every time.
