AMERICAN NEEDLE - EST.1918

For more than a century, American Needle has embodied a unique vision of the baseball cap. A vision where every embroidery tells a story, and every logo reflects an era, a team, or a city that helped shape American culture.
Today, we are proud to welcome this iconic brand to the STRICTLY selection.

Over 100 Years of Heritage

Founded in Chicago in 1918, American Needle is one of the oldest cap manufacturers in the United States. In its early days, the brand produced headwear for professional baseball teams before becoming a key player in American sports.
Over the decades, American Needle has partnered with the country's major sports leagues, universities, and many iconic institutions, while staying true to what has always defined the brand: exceptional craftsmanship and deep respect for its heritage.

Where Sport, Culture & American Heritage Meet

Far more than a simple accessory, an American Needle cap has become a true symbol of American culture.
The collections draw inspiration from the archives of historic MLB and NFL franchises, renowned American universities, as well as national parks, iconic companies, and the great American outdoors. Every cap is designed as a piece of heritage, remaining faithful to the original designs while benefiting from modern manufacturing quality.

A Selection True to the STRICTLY Spirit

At STRICTLY, we look for brands with a genuine story to tell. American Needle shares that same philosophy: creating authentic products inspired by real heritage rather than passing trends.
Our selection showcases vintage-inspired styles featuring embroidery that captures the spirit of classic American caps from the 1940s through the 1970s. Timeless pieces designed for everyday wear, fitting naturally into a workwear, heritage, or outdoor wardrobe.
