Vintage Hats

A vintage-style hat is a new hat designed with a classic, worn-in or heritage-inspired appearance. Common features include washed fabrics, faded colours, soft crowns, corduroy textures and relaxed fits.

These details create the distinctive lived-in look associated with vintage headwear.

No. Our vintage-style hats are new products designed to achieve a vintage-inspired look.

“Vintage” refers to the style, finish and appearance of the hat rather than its actual age.

Our vintage collection can include washed cotton dad hats, unstructured baseball caps, corduroy caps and other retro-inspired styles.

Different colours, fabrics and silhouettes make them suitable for fashion, lifestyle, outdoor and heritage-inspired brands.

A washed vintage cap uses a fabric treatment that creates a softer, slightly faded and more worn-in appearance.

This relaxed finish is particularly popular for dad hats, casual baseball caps and lifestyle headwear.

Vintage-style hats can use materials such as cotton, washed cotton and corduroy, depending on the product.

Fabric texture and finishing are important parts of creating the relaxed, heritage-inspired appearance associated with vintage caps.

Vintage caps typically emphasise washed fabrics, faded colours, softer construction and relaxed styling.

Traditional baseball caps may have a cleaner, more structured appearance, although the exact construction varies between individual styles.

Many vintage-style hats feature an unstructured or low-profile crown, helping create their characteristic soft and relaxed appearance.

However, construction varies by style, so check the specifications of your chosen hat.

Simple logos, lettering and heritage-inspired graphics work particularly well, creating a durable branded finish without taking away from the washed and relaxed character of the hat.

Consider initials, typography, badges, heritage-inspired emblems or simplified logos rather than highly complex graphics.

The ideal design also depends on whether you choose direct embroidery, a patch or a label.
