Genesis...also a great band.

Genesis...also a great band.

Since I was a teenager, I have been all about music. I need music like air. In the 1980s the Grateful Dead were the sun for a lot of great people’s universes.   We drove a ‘66 Dodge van that kinda looked like a beige loaf of bread all over the country.

On the road following the Dead was a given for a lot kids. On the Dead’s Fall Tour one year I bought a hat at a Vermont roadside store, made by a local Vermont mill. We’ve brought back this classic and designed many new variants!  Our hats are made from the same original US Polartec fleece material that Time Magazine once called one of the 100 Greatest Inventions of the 20th Century.  

I’ve worn this hat for the last 40 years, frankly, because it really IS better gear!    

First it provides roughly twice the warmth at half the weight of a wool hat.  Lightweight leaves you feeling less claustrophobic. 

Second, these hats are cut & sewn, rather than knit like most hats, which allows us to make a more refined 5 sizes (XS-XL), resulting in a better, more comfortable fit…On yer head…We think that’s kind of important lol.  

So super warm, ½ the weight and perfectly sized?  Still not enough for you to hit BUY yet, baby???  How about a hat that handles even extreme sweat perfectly...is super soft…wears like iron AND looks better over time AND has a lifetime guarantee?   It ends up a more perfect all-day-wearing experience.  You may even find, like me, you don’t take it off going inside.  Put our perfect 5.0 star rating on YOUR head.   WYKYK. 

All made by your fellow US citizens, where no oppression or slave labor stains your investment in society.  Only good karma, which at the end of the day shouldn’t that be the most important factor when choosing a lifetime companion?  I have 40 years of comparison to fall back on, I truly believe it’s the best hat on the planet!

People ask me all the time, ‘why hats’ and I tell them cuz everybody’s got a head.  We love hats.  We love Heads.   Hats for Heads.
