My dear, a true leader commands not just a crew, but a presence. And sometimes, that presence requires a certain... unapologetic menace.
This imposing cap once belonged to Commodore "Black" Thorne, a notorious figure who commanded not just airships, but entire fleets of experimental Dreadnoughts across the perilous skies of the Orient. I encountered him in a rather lively establishment in Constantinople, where he was, shall we say, negotiating the price of a new aether-cannon with considerably more bluster than civility.
The hat’s formidable structure, a classic military-style peaked cap, immediately conveys authority. But it's the details that make it truly formidable: the entire crown is a veritable constellation of blackened gears and intricate clockwork mechanisms, suggesting a mind as complex as the engine room of a colossal air vessel.
The brim is adorned with a menacing array of sharp spikes, a clear deterrent to any overly familiar rival or mutinous crewmember. These aren't just for show; they signify that the wearer is prepared for any skirmish, be it a dogfight amongst the clouds or a tense standoff in a diplomatic salon. This hat does not merely sit on your head; it crowns your resolve.
Wear this when your command is absolute, your journey is perilous, and your intentions are best left entirely to your own formidable design. It whispers of power, precision, and the iron will to conquer any sky. If your duties are less military and more mechanical, you may prefer the utility of The Chief Engineer’s Field Cap
