Maomao Sleeve Peek Washed Baseball Cap – The Apothecary Diaries

Maomao rarely gives anything away with her face, and here she hides most of it on purpose. This Maomao cap is a washed baseball cap with her famous over-the-sleeve stare printed on the front panel.

Maomao sleeve-peek baseball cap

The front carries a framed print from the anime: Maomao holds a green sleeve up across her nose and mouth, so only her dark green fringe and two half-lidded violet eyes show above it. The series title is printed above the picture in Japanese, 薬屋のひとりごと, with "Apothecary Diaries" in small letters underneath. It is the look she gives a dish she suspects, or a courtier who is about to ask a favour. The cap itself has a faded, distressed wash, a curved brim and a strap at the back with a metal buckle.

What you get

Everyday wear and gifting

Black is the closest to the photos and the most low-key; khaki and navy soften the print, and red makes the green sleeve stand out. Wear it on walks, at a convention or on a long day out. An easy present for the friend who quotes Maomao's deadpan lines at every opportunity.
