11 Iconic Hat Brands Every Guy Should Know

The saying goes that hats aren't for everyone. We're here to tell you that we disagree.

Not only are they ideal for practical uses: wearing one in winter to keep you warm or donning one in summer to help protect you from the sun, they also serve as a way to amp up your style game. Recently, hats have re-entered every echelon of fashion, all the way from runways to simply just helping cover up our months-old haircuts during quarantine—and the trend is sticking.

While most of us have been sporting caps to the gym or on the beach for years now, it’s important to remember that the accessory goes beyond just your standard baseball style. Think about the more iconic fashion-forward options such as Indiana Jones’ fedora, Ice Cube’s cap from Boyz in The Hood, Charlie Chaplin’s bowler, or even Sherlock Holmes’ double-flapped topper: they all packed a large punch of style, while still feeling masculine and fashion-forward.

Below, we round up the top 11 hat brands that have cemented the art of hat making for the modern day man and highlight the different hat styles we suggest you incorporate into your closet.
