Why the Name Kercheval?
We named this hat as a part of the Kercheval accessories collection to pay tribute to a number of members of Kercheval family who made a positive impact on those living in Detroit. Benjamin Kercheval (1793-1855), was an officer in the War of 1812. His daughter, Mary Kercheval, married Moses W. Field, who operated the Detroit Glass Works and the Detroit Hoop Manufacturing company. In tandem with her husband, they were instrumental in establishing the Michigan State Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and helped create state laws relating to the humane treatment of animals. They helped establish an art museum in Detroit, and pushed to establish public drinking fountains in Detroit in 1871.
So bring a piece of impact and history wherever you go, with the Kercheval cap by Pingree Detroit.
Shipping
Since the majority of our products are made to order, we try our hardest to ensure orders ship quickly. Most accessories ship within 3-5 business days after the order being placed. If the product is made to order- you'll see the estimated days needed to make your handmade piece in bold on that respective product page. Footwear will ship based on the month included on the receipt emailed to you and the name in the Title when you checked out.
Returns
We want you to be happy, and tell your friends, family, and co-workers about your Piece of Pingree a decade from now how well it's still holding up, so we will stand by our product for life. If the stitching or any hardware fails on one of our products within 365 days of the product arriving to you, we cover the cost of getting it shipped back to us to repair and shipping it back to you at no extra cost. After the warranty, for the Life of Your Product, if anything breaks on it from normal use (please don't use our dog leashes to lift engines out of cars--even though they can hold it) - all you pay is the labor it costs us to repair it and the shipping expense.

We LOVE Sustainable Products
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our products are crafted using upcycled leather that would otherwise go to the landfill. By giving this leather a second life, we’re reducing waste and minimizing our environmental impact while delivering high-quality goods built to last.
But sustainability isn’t just about the materials; it’s about reimagining "waste" and designing around circularity. From our eco-conscious production and shipping methods to our commitment to maximizing well-being for our workers, customers, and the environment, we believe every step matters. When you choose a Pingree product, you’re choosing something better—for the planet, for people, and for our collective future.
