Sentry Uniform Cap was established in 1956, (when the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn), by the owners, Bernard Seeley and Murray and Ruth Neuschotz. The business was started with one sewing machine in a little storefront on Hegeman Ave., in East New York, Brooklyn. Our original products were police and postal caps.

The business is now in the able hands of Bernie’s son Matt Seeley and Office Manager, Don Contrada.

The factory has since been relocated from Brooklyn to Lynbrook, Long Island.
