The company’s Bridgeport works later gained a 190-foot shot tower and became part of the Remington and UMC story after their 1912 merger. This embroidered dad cap hat offers a relaxed way to show interest in UMC, its memorable headstamp, and the history of American manufacturing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnion Metallic Cartridge Company, or UMC, grew from a New York sporting goods firm’s purchase of two small New England cartridge makers in 1866. Machinery from Crittenden \u0026amp; Tibbals Manufacturing Company in South Coventry, Connecticut, and C.D. Leet in Springfield, Massachusetts, was moved to Bridgeport, Connecticut. Production began under the name Union Metallic Cartridge \u0026amp; Cap Company; the operation was incorporated as Union Metallic Cartridge Company in September 1867. In February 1909, the company completed a 190-foot shot tower, where molten lead was dropped into cold water to form shot. Schuyler, Hartley \u0026amp; Graham had acquired E. Remington and Sons in 1888 and formed Remington Arms as its firearms-manufacturing arm. Remington and UMC merged in 1912, making Bridgeport the corporate headquarters, while firearms production remained in Ilion, New York. The Bridgeport complex became a major arms supplier during World War I. Ammunition production there continued until 1970, when a new factory opened in Lonoke, Arkansas; sporting and police ammunition carried the REM-UMC headstamp until that year. Remington moved its headquarters to Delaware in 1984 and had vacated the Bridgeport complex by 1988.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Unstructured 6-panel body for a relaxed, low-profile fit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Permacurv® precurved visor with 4-row stitching and color-matched underbill\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Self-fabric hideaway strap with antique brass buckle and grommet for adjustable fit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 100% cotton construction (Green Camo variant 65% polyester \/ 35% cotton)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Sewn-in label and brand sticker on visor; adult sizing (not for ages 0–3)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Use warm water and dish soap and clean spots off your hat.
