Heidarvatn Oysterman in Natural

"Set the Hook!" We teamed up with Heidarvatn, the legendary Icelandic fly fishing lodge, to create a limited collection of custom caps, shirts, and fly fishing accessories. Built for long days chasing Sea-run Brown trout and Arctic char in Iceland or Brookies in the Catskills, the collection carries the same practical spirit no matter where you're casting. Quaker Marine Supply’s founder and Coast Guard veteran, Joe Kadison, designed this hat with function in mind based on his own experiences on the water. Like many purpose-built items, the Oysterman developed a singular personality along the way. To start, the bill is long. At 4 3/4” long, the Oysterman’s brim is 50% longer than your standard ball cap. Why? Because it actually offers sun protection when this long. The black shiny material on the brim is the same that is used on the visors of the midway caps worn by police officers. Joe Kadison selected this material because it repelled water. While most hats today are a standard 6-panel, this hat is constructed with 4 lateral panels to deliver a low profile that reduces windage. Like the original, it features four eyelets on each side panel that provide ventilation. It is made in sturdy canvas to perform and last and has a dark green faux-leather underbrim to absorb reflected light. This limited edition cap includes three embroideries along both side panels and back panels. *The Oysterman is shown with a curved bill but ships flat.
