The denim fatigue hat was better known as the \"Daisy Mae,\" affectionately named after a character from a comic strip of the time. Its shape, derived from the bucket hats worn by fishermen, provided exceptional utility thanks to its wide brim and high durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHickory stripe: The fabric with this striped pattern predates the war; it appeared in the late nineteenth century as a durable textile used by railroad engineers, mechanics, and industrial workers. Indigo and white stripes helped hide oil, coal dust, and grease, while the densely woven cotton construction offered durability comparable to standard denim. In the interwar period, striped work fabrics became firmly established in American workwear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorical context: While standard denim was the most common material for US Navy uniforms during World War II, the use of \"hickory stripe\" reflects the close relationship between civilian workwear and the military utility garments of that time. Many historical specimens of this hat bear a \"P\" marking, suggesting that they may have been issued to US Navy personnel who had been court-martialed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnical details: The indigo yarn used in the \"hickory\" fabric is rope-dyed, just like vintage denim. Because the dye does not penetrate completely to the core of the yarn, the fabric will fade with continued wear, revealing lighter tones and gaining character similar to the most sought-after historical denim work garments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% Cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRope Dyed Indigo Hickory Fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Real McCoy's","offers":[{"title":"7 1\/2","offer_id":53392409690459,"sku":"MA26009-314","price":3400.0,"currency_code":"CZK","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 3\/4","offer_id":53392409723227,"sku":"MA26009-314","price":3400.0,"currency_code":"CZK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2595\/8844\/files\/ML4B5461_c5aed871-2595-44a3-b79c-4d734c427e11.jpg?v=1781694063","url":"https:\/\/denimheads.cz\/products\/the-real-mccoys-striped-dungaree-daisy-mae-hat-white-navy-ma26009-314","provider":"denimheads.cz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
