During the Korean War in the 1950s, it was commonplace for U.S. military pilots and aircrews to have their flight caps customised by local embroiderers while on R&R in Seoul or Tokyo. The Korea '51 from Papa Nui draws inspiration from these unique squadron caps, capturing their essence beautifully with a period-accurate Asiatic machine embroidery design.
