- The origin story: In 1991, Barry Barr was running a fishing boat off the wet and windy Alaskan coast when a gust of wind blew his hat into the sea. This incident inspired him to create a better hat that would never fall off, and fast forward nearly 30 years later, the hat is still hand-cut and hand-sewn in Seattle by the same family, ensuring its longevity.
- Legacy of craftsmanship: The hat is constructed with the utmost attention to detail, using only the highest quality materials. The hat is made with a beefy nylon tubular webbing with a 4,000lb breaking point, a KAVU d-ring adjustment, five 43-stitch bar tacks, and a tough polyurethane bill. The heat-laminated underbill and four panel design are secured with 1" grosgrain-covered internal seams, ensuring that the hat will last for many years of use.
- Environmentally conscious: This year, the hat gets even better with the use of 100% certified organic cotton, making it an environmentally conscious choice for outdoor enthusiasts. The organic cotton fabric is both durable and soft to the touch, ensuring that the hat will perform well in all conditions.
- Perfect fit: The ALPHA Easy fit size is available in S, M, and L with head circumferences of S (22.5”-24”), M (23.5”-25”), and L (24.5”-26”). The hat has a low-profile, 3.5" crown height, with a slight curved bill and black underbill, providing a classic look that is suitable for all occasions. The patterned nylon tubular webbing and KAVU adjustment make it easy to find the perfect fit for any head size.
- Durability and Strength: The hat is designed with ruggedness and reliability in mind, making it the ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers. Its construction features include a 4-panel design, 1" grosgrain-covered internal seams, and heat-laminated underbill, providing excellent protection against wear and tear. The use of beefy nylon tubular webbing with a 4,000lb breaking point and five 43-stitch bar tacks ensures the hat stays securely in place, even in harsh conditions.
