Classic surf style, all-day comfort—ready to top off any coastal mission.
The Institute Cap from The Critical Slide Society delivers that easy, salty style with practical details for all-day wear. Built with 100% cotton in either fine corduroy or sturdy twill, it feels soft but stays tough through repeated sessions. The cap has an unstructured, low-profile fit that hugs close—ideal for under-helmet stints, boat trips, or easy pub afternoons. Featuring the iconic Institute logo embroidery on the front, it brings a subtle nod to surf heritage, while the adjustable back clasp or snap ensures a fit that suits any dome. No shouty colours or unnecessary frills. Just pure, sun-safe surf culture that works anywhere from the lineup to the laneway.
