“About a boy” is a hip cap and satchel bag set to keep active, energetic boys happy.  

This is the cap your boy will always reach for first.  With adjustable velcro tabs at the back, it won’t fly off his head when a sudden gust of wind blows and will protect him from the heat of the sun.  

The satisfying satchel bag is made especially with boys in mind.  The patchwork detail on the flap gives it a bit of funk without going overboard.  This macho-style set is a must-have for every boy!
