Catch of the Day Interactive Fishing Cap

About this piece

An everyday accessory made to be handled daily without the surface going dull where a hand or a pocket rubs. The thinking behind it is simple: get the size right, get the surface right, and leave everything else alone. Nothing here is decorative for its own sake. It comes in 7 colours.

Materials and build

Built from parts that each do one job, with the fastenings sized to the load rather than to the price. There is no glue in the joints that matters, nothing is torqued past what the material wants, and the piece can be taken apart if it ever has to be stored flat.

Sizing, fixings and what you get

Every contact point is finished rather than left sharp, and the feet or pads are sized so the load is spread instead of concentrated. Assembly is simple by design: the parts that must be rigid are rigid, and the parts that must flex have somewhere to flex to.

Wearing in rather than wearing out

A compact accessory with a clean, unfussy shape that does not catch on clothing or scratch what it sits against. Most of the cost of a piece like this sits in the parts that do not show. We put the budget there rather than into a heavier box or a bigger logo, because that is the version of the product you still have in two years. We would rather it be slightly plainer than slightly flimsy. So the shape is quiet, the corners are radiused rather than sharp for looks, and the material is chosen for how it behaves on the hundredth use rather than the first.

Living with it day to day

Nothing about it requires a manual. The obvious way to use it is the correct way, and the only choice you have to make is where it goes — which is a decision made easier by the fact that it does not need to be anchored to a wall to stay put. If you are choosing between this and something similar, the deciding detail is usually in the specification rather than the description — start there. Everything we can confirm about this piece sits in the specification table. If you are working to a tight space, check those numbers rather than the photographs — photographs flatter, numbers do not.

Care

Wipe it down, check the fastenings once a season and tighten anything that has worked loose. That is the entire maintenance schedule — there is nothing that needs oiling, sealing or replacing on a timer.
