Product Insights
The Emblem Navy Cap by Country Liberty is a $40 one-size cotton twill hat with a snapback closure that adjusts 22–24 inches and compensates for up to 3% shrinkage. Founded by former NHL draft pick Sawyer Hannay and grown from a $400 launch to 275+ stores, the brand emphasizes small-town authenticity and has co-branded with Busch, Budweiser, and Realtree. The cap's structured crown and plastic visor prevent silhouette distortion, while the twill weave locks embroidery flat and defined for 5–10+ years. Breathable and moisture-wicking, the cap requires spot cleaning and snapback adjustment to preserve structure and alignment—a tradeoff for its longevity, which lowers per-wear cost over 5–10 years.

Deep Research
How the embroidered emblem holds up
- On a spot-cleaned cap, the polyester embroidery thread’s inherent fade- and crack-resistance means the emblem will likely outlast the cotton twill body — caps with similar embroidery can look sharp for 5–10+ years of regular wear, even as the fabric body softens and fades.
- The 100% cotton twill’s tightly woven diagonal ribs lock embroidery stitches in place better than a loose knit or fleece, reducing the risk of snagging and keeping the emblem surface smooth even when the cap rubs against rough surfaces like backpack straps.
- Because the embroidery passes through the fabric rather than sitting on top, there is no coating to peel, crack, or flake at high-flex points like the visor hinge or snapback arch — making this a longer-term piece than a printed cap that shows wear within the first season.
- The structured crown’s rigid buckram foundation prevents the front panel fabric from shifting or puckering under the embroidered emblem, so the design stays crisp and doesn’t distort over months of wear — unlike unstructured caps that require permanent backing to keep the logo stable.
- The plastic visor stiffener and structured crown can warp or crush in a machine’s agitation, so Country Liberty’s spot-clean-only approach protects both the hat’s silhouette and the emblem’s flat presentation — a damp cloth with mild soap handles sweat and dirt without stressing the embroidery or the cap’s structure.
Country Liberty brand and what it says about this hat
- Country Liberty was founded by Sawyer Hannay, a former Halifax Mooseheads defenseman and 2010 Vancouver Canucks draft pick who conceived the brand while playing pro hockey in Salzburg, Austria — the Emblem cap comes from a label built by someone who genuinely lived the country lifestyle he now sells, not a corporate branding exercise.
- Inspired by a town of 800 people (Rexton, New Brunswick), Country Liberty explicitly champions traditional, family-oriented rural values — the Emblem cap is as much a statement of identity as it is headwear, designed for those who want to signal pride in small-town country living.
- The brand was originally called Country Free but was renamed after the founders adopted a dictionary definition of 'liberty' — 'the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one’s way of life, behavior' — making the brand name a manifesto rather than a casual label, and giving the Emblem cap a layer of philosophical weight.
- What began as a $400, 12-t-shirt experiment in 2014 has scaled into distribution in over 200 Canadian stores and 75 US stores (including Simons, where this cap is sold), giving the Emblem cap the backing of a brand with proven retail traction rather than an untested startup.
- Country Liberty regularly drops co-branded collection ranges with Busch, Budweiser, and Realtree, giving the brand cultural credibility within the country and outdoor lifestyle space — the Emblem cap sits in a lineup that has been validated by partners deeply embedded in that world.
How 100% cotton twill wears over time
- The twill weave's inherent stability lets production embroidery machines run at up to 1000 stitches per minute without fabric puckering, so the Country Liberty emblem stays flat and distortion-free even after repeated wears and washes.
- Cotton twill allows enough airflow for all-day casual wear while its natural fibers absorb perspiration, keeping the interior from feeling clammy — the classic baseball-cap fabric that stays comfortable through everyday activity.
- Unconditioned 100% cotton can shrink up to 3% after the first wash due to released weaving tension, but the snapback closure lets you loosen the fit to maintain comfort — effectively turning a potential fit issue into a non-issue for the life of the cap.
- The diagonal twill construction in 100% cotton increases fabric durability by 20–30% over a plain weave, meaning the cap resists tearing and abrasion better even when grabbed by the brim or tossed in a bag — this is the structural difference that prevents early blowouts in everyday caps.
