Why is it that the best caps are always the ones that have been through the wars? You know the ones – sun-faded, slightly tatty around the edges, with that perfect curve to the peak that only comes from months of being stuffed in glove boxes and duffel bags. This Shield dad cap from Deus cuts straight to the chase with a garment dye process that gives it all that character without the wait. The heavy enzyme stonewash means it feels properly lived-in from the moment you put it on, while that tonal embroidered shield logo keeps things subtle rather than shouty. Cut in classic 6-panel construction with cotton twill that'll only get better with age, it's the sort of cap that'll end up being your go-to for everything from walking the dog to hiding a questionable haircut.
What do you get when you cross a legendary surfwear entrepreneur with a serious motorcycle addiction and a healthy disregard for tribal boundaries? Well, you get Deus ex Machina – the brand that's been proving since 2006 that there's no rule saying you can't love both the roar of a café racer and the whisper of a perfect barrel.
Founded by Dare Jennings (he of iconic surf brand Mambo), Deus started life as a custom motorbike workshop and coffee house in the Sydney suburb of Camperdown. The radical idea? Instead of shoehorning people into outdoor tribes – bikers, surfers, skaters, cyclists or whatever – why not just celebrate whatever gets you fired up? Their workshop soon transformed into a ‘run-what-you-brung’ social and creative space, known locally as the ‘Temple of Enthusiasm’.
From those early days of engine oil, freshly brewed coffee and dawn raids on the Pacific Ocean, Deus has grown into a global phenomenon. Their clothing captures that same anything-goes spirit – sun-bleached graphics that look like they've survived their fair share of backroad adventures, vintage-inspired cuts that work equally well on the beach or in the workshop, and a lived-in aesthetic that’s catnip to the adventurous. Because at the end of the day, whether you’re into one particular outdoor activity or all of them – as Deus would say, ‘it's all the same juice’.
