2026 Former Slack Cap | A Raw, Vintage-Washed Essential
Top off your kit with the Former Slack Cap in Black. Far from your standard clean-cut headwear, this 5-panel lid is built from heavy-duty cotton canvas and treated with a technical vintage wash to achieve that perfect "lived-in" grit from day one. Designed by the Former crew to reflect their "reaction to tradition," it balances a structured flat-peak aesthetic with the raw, rebellious soul of the independent skate and surf scene.
Key Technical Features
-
100% Cotton Canvas: A rugged, high-density construction that can handle the salt, sun, and pavement. This durable fabric is designed to hold its shape while softening naturally over time.
-
5-Panel Flat Peak Design: A timeless, low-profile silhouette that offers a clean, modern look. The flat peak provides maximum sun protection while maintaining that classic street-ready profile.
-
Technical Vintage Wash: Every cap undergoes a specialized wash process to fade the black tones and soften the canvas, giving it an authentic vintage feel and a unique, weathered character.
-
Seasonal Front Embroidery: Features high-density "Slack" seasonal artwork embroidered on the front panel. This high-stitch-count detail adds a premium, tactile layer that won't peel or fade like a print.
-
Adjustable Snapback Closure: Equipped with a classic snapback for a customisable "one size fits most" fit, finished with a subtle Legacy woven label for an extra touch of rider-owned authenticity.
Why You’ll Love It
The Slack Cap is the ultimate finishing touch for any lifestyle rotation. It carries the same independent energy as the founders, Dane Reynolds and Craig Anderson, making it more of a statement than just an accessory. If you’re looking for a black cap that masks the dust of a long road trip and fits perfectly right out of the box, this vintage-washed 5-panel is a non-negotiable addition to your gear.

About Former
Former is a surf and skate apparel and media company founded by Craig Anderson, Dane Reynolds, Austyn Gillette and Dylan Rieder, and run out of Ventura, California. It is rider owned and independently operated — the names on the door belong to the people testing the product, shooting the films and signing off the graphics.
Two marks have anchored the brand since 2017: the Crux and the Legacy. They run through the Origin Collection and out across everything else Former makes, from 200GSM cotton jerseys and 320GSM brushed fleece to nylon ripstop trunks and heavy cotton workwear twill. The detailing is where the brand shows its hand — garment washes and pre-shrunk finishes as standard, embroidery where most labels would print, and branded metal hardware where most would settle for plastic.
Former is as much a film outfit as a clothing label. Projects like DEFECT and I Do Believe I'm Wishing, the documentary on team rider Shaun Manners, are made in house and put out online, which is a fair summary of how the whole thing runs: make it properly, release it, let it speak for itself.
