Albion
The Albion brand is a creation of industry expertise and entrepreneurship pioneered by Alec Cohen and Frank Sinclair in around mid-1941 in Australia. Together they began the Albion Manufacturing Company, so named because of its first site, in Little Albion Street, Surrey Hills (NSW). Albion won its first major contract in World War Two, making GI kits for the US Government. Post war, the business of Albion began to concentrate on rainware: plastic raincoats, rain trousers, sou’westers and other types of rainhats.
Alec Bart, a trained cap maker joined soon after and Albion began making all forms of caps, particularly as various vogue styles reached the country. They made a popular form of sailors’ gob cap, all styles of peak caps, baseball caps, ivy league caps, beanies with pompoms, toweling hats and caps, and Davy Crockett hats complete with imported raccoon skin tails. The name of the firm was changed around then (late 1950’s) to the Albion Hat and Cap Company Pty Ltd.
