Why New Orleanians Wear Hats
Here, a hat isn't really an accessory. It's survival gear. Between the sun on the parade route and a full day at the Fair Grounds, the right hat earns its keep about nine months out of the year. Hats are our second-biggest category after shirts, and we think that says something about the weather.
Our Most Popular New Orleans Hats
The Just Jazz It Hat by '47 was our best-selling hat over the past year. A saxophone swoosh on washed cotton twill, low profile and unstructured, it's the kind of hat you forget you're wearing until someone asks about it.
The Crescent City Collage Hat packs a little bit of everything about the city onto one cap, and the NOLA X Hat is the low-profile trucker people grab for Saints season. For something with more personality, the Boudin Hat is for people who plan road trips around gas station links.
Rope Hats and Sun Hats
A lot of our structured hats use a lightweight woven fabric rated SPF 50, which matters more than you'd think during a long day outside. The Roseate Spoonbill Rope Hat is a favorite for days on the water, and the Strange Things Happen Below Sea Level rope cap, designed with Freddy Tyler Paul, is our love letter to the city's relationship with water.
When it finally gets cold for a week or two, our beanies take over. Browse the Cold Weather collection for those rare mornings when the temperature drops below 60 and the whole city acts like it's snowing.
