This cap goes out to all the good “Jakes” out there. Originating in the early 20th century within Greater Boston, “Jake” serves as an affectionate slang for firefighters in New England. To be referred to as a “Good Jake” is the highest form of commendation among Boston area firefighters, signifying exceptional skill, bravery, and reliability. The term likely stems from “J-Key,” derived from the telegraph keys utilized in the first street-corner fire alarm box system, pioneered in Boston. World War One veterans-turned-firefighters, accustomed to military-issue telegraph keys, possibly coined the term “J-Keys,” which eventually morphed into “Jake.” This slang, originally denoting a firefighter adept at Morse code communication under pressure, gradually became a commonly used term for firefighters in general.The Jake is a classic lightweight 8-panel cap with a red button, eyelets and brim, with interior red fabric and custom ‘Jake’ logo. As a nod to its legacy, this cap features the signature “J-Key” embroidered on the back side panel.
