I wanted to cover the new Knottery hats, which are made in the US out of various Japanese cottons and chambrays. But, Brad wanted me to write about The Knottery’s new pocket squares, which are handmade in Brooklyn and only cost $18 a pop. So, since we couldn’t agree, I’ve decided to cover the whole damn collection, which also includes super affordable, US-made belts and ties. Read More

Just like compliments, paid days off from work and cheese, you can never have too many camp caps. Especially when they feature crazy camos, anchors and flying geese (!?!), like these US-made, $36 Camper caps from The Legends USA.

Who you reppin’? Usually, your ball cap would rep your favorite team or your hometown, but Houston shop The Classroom’s latest collab with Ebbets Field Flannel will just have you reppin’ High-quality goods and Handsome Headwear (see what I did there?). Read More
You’re a tasteful guy. You like nice things, but you’re not showy about it; you prefer quiet luxury. And that’s why these Ball Caps from Paa are for you. Made in the USA out of heavyweight wool, and featuring a kelly green underbrim, satin binding and cotton twill sweatband, the snapback hats are far nicer than the average fare, without being ostentatious about it.

Fair Ends claims to have created the perfect beanie, and I can’t dispute it. Made in the USA from soft, 100% Merino wool, the watch cap style hat looks great with or without a fold, and, it comes with your color choice of Fair Ends pin. Add to that a totally reasonable $38 price, and I’d definitely say perfection has been achieved. Read More

You ever had a really good all natural peanut butter, and then you read the ingredients, and the only thing listed is peanuts, and you’re like, “damn, how’d they do that?” Well, replace butter with activewear, and peanuts with humane and sustainable Merino wool from New Zealand, and that’s pretty much exactly what it’s like wearing Ibex.

As someone who’s been to a psychiatrist, I can tell you, those Rorschach tests can reveal a lot. Similarly, the crazy, petroglyphic patterns on these Pendleton Cave Creek Caps can tell you quite a bit too. Like that they’ll send your hat game to whole ‘nother level. And, that you’d be crazy NOT to pick up one of these caps from Penelope’s. Read More

Patterns on patterns on patterns. In case you haven’t heard, mixing patterns is the name of the game in 2013, and there’s no better place to start than at the top – of your head, that is. The Fair Ends Snowflake Camp Caps are made in the US and feature an unstructured flannel body and adjustable nylon strap. Read More
