✚ The Manifesto

A president wore a red cap. A nation lost its mind. We just made the rest of the closet.

In the summer of the tariff wars, a certain red-and-white cap appeared at a certain football match and read the room perfectly: proud, deadpan, gloriously neutral. We don't sell that cap — we sell the feeling. A clean, self-aware collection celebrating 734 years of minding our own business, printed on demand and shipped to your door. No politicians endorsed this. 1291 did.

✚ 04 — Questions

Everything, Answered

Is this the official Parmelin cap?

Officially? No. Spiritually? Undefeated. We're an independent shop, tied to no politician, office or government, and none of them see a franc of it. "Great Since 1291" was true for centuries before it was a headline. We simply put it on a very good cap.

What's it made of?

Good stuff, built to last. Caps are 100% cotton twill, low-profile and cleanly embroidered. Tees are heavyweight ring-spun cotton, about 207 g/m² (6.1 oz), with a relaxed fit. Hoodies are heavyweight cotton-poly fleece at 288 g/m² (8.5 oz). Mugs are sturdy ceramic in 330 or 440 ml (11 or 15 oz), safe for the dishwasher and the microwave. Every product page carries the full specs and a size chart.

How fast can I get it?

Fast, considering it's made from scratch just for you. Printing or embroidery takes roughly 2 to 7 business days, then it ships worldwide. International transit depends on your country, usually one to three weeks, and you'll get a tracking link wherever the carrier provides one. Caps take a little longer, because good embroidery refuses to be rushed. Full detail on our Shipping page.

Who makes this?

We design it. A network of top print-on-demand partners across Europe and the US produces it fresh the day you order. Fourthwall runs checkout, payment and fulfilment, so the whole thing just works. Full transparency: it isn't printed in Switzerland yet, and bringing production closer to home is exactly where we're headed. For now, we'd rather put the real thing in your hands, anywhere in the world, today.

Will I pay customs or import duties?

Maybe, depending on where you live. Because orders cross borders, your country may add an import duty or a small clearance fee on delivery, set by your local customs and not by us. Small shipments often slip through untouched; larger orders and bundles are more likely to get flagged. We keep our pricing and shipping honest and upfront. The customs desk in your country is the one thing we can't negotiate for you. See our Shipping page.

Can I return it?

Every piece is made to order, so we can't take change-of-mind or wrong-size returns. Check the size guide before you commit. Quality, though, is on us: anything misprinted, damaged or just plain wrong gets replaced or refunded, free, within 14 days. See Returns & Refunds.
