The Design Heritage
The design honors the historic founding of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. on September 19, 1963, at Morgan State College in Baltimore, Maryland. Established during the height of the Civil Rights Movement by the Twelve Pioneers, the organization has long stood for scholarship, leadership, citizenship, fidelity, and brotherhood. The prominent gold embroidery depicts the Centaur, the official mascot of the fraternity, alongside the seminal year of 1963, rendered in precise, high-density stitching that reflects the enduring strength of the brotherhood.
Wearing this ivy flat cap connects you directly to a legacy of purpose and academic distinction. It serves as a sophisticated statement piece for alumni gatherings, national conclaves, or daily representation on campus. The structured crown and low-profile brim offer a refined aesthetic that commands respect while maintaining a modern, versatile edge for the contemporary gentleman.
Care and Maintenance
To maintain the rich black hue and the luster of the gold embroidery, spot clean this cap using a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid submerging the wool-blend structure in water or placing it in a mechanical dryer. Air dry flat away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the internal buckram and the shape-retentive brim.
For an optimal fit, measure the circumference of your head approximately one inch above the eyebrows. This flat cap features an integrated elasticized sweatband that conforms to your head shape, ensuring a secure fit during active daily wear. Store it in a cool, dry place or hang it on a dedicated hat peg to preserve its classic profile.
