What makes it a Findlay

Three things yourother hats don't have.

01 / Patented

Stampede Laces

Designed to keep your hat on your head for good times. Drop them under your chin when wind, water, or a chairlift tries to take it. Up on the brim they're an accent: tie them different ways, swap lace colors, and pick from over 1,000 clips to show some personality.

02 / Inside every hat

Hidden stash pocket

A stash pocket attached inside the crown, applied by hand in our shop. Emergency cash, a key, a lift ticket, a business card. Nobody knows it's there until you need it.

03 / For life

Lifetime warranty

Break it? We fix it. For life. Rips, blown grommets, busted snaps, smashed clips. Send it in and we repair it or replace it free.

These hats are unmatched!

I wear one of my two Findlay hats everyday and have since put all others into hibernation mode. It's not that I can't love another hat...but I truly like the way these feel structurally. Working a physical job and legitimately smashing my head by accident hasn't shifted the shape into something weird and ill-fitting. All I need is more money to buy more hats. So get one and try the damn thing out. Or don't. If you are reading this you are most of the way there.

Come back for more!

I bought this hat for my husband a few years ago. He wears it almost daily and it’s gotten a bit crusty so we got him a replacement! He’s still rocking the old one for yard work and it’s still going strong!

Deepest Depth of Goat!

Recently received my Deepest Depth of Goat hat and as usual, it's perfect. Great quality, packaging is great, and got to me in a timely manner. I can't remember the last time I ordered a hat from another company!

Great hats! Will order again.

Every time I order a Findlay hat it’s because I saw a cool design that would make for a good pin hat. I now have four of ‘em! The dad hats are my favorite. Love the fit and the designs. Thanks Findlay!

FINDLAY FORCE!!

The “Decky” style is by far my favorite fit it sits tight to your head without the heat of a typical dad hat

How it started

It started witha lost hat.

In 2005 I flipped a raft on the Toutle River and watched my spray-painted Burton hat float away. So I cut two holes in the next one and ran my shoelaces under my chin. Friends kept asking me to make them one.

In 2013 I bet $1,400 on a first run of about 120 hats and named the company after my grandpa, Harold Findlay, who had a huge hat collection. He passed right before we launched, but he knew it would carry his name. We started in a living room, moved to a garage, and now run a 10,000 square foot shop on North Interstate in Portland where every hat gets customized in-house.

No investors. Just a lot of hard work and a community that shows up every Friday. Thanks for checking us out. Here's to some good times.

Fit and returns

Will it fit?Almost certainly.

★★★★★

This was one of my first two hats ordered from Findlay about a year ago and has held up well. Simple, yet refined. I am between a 7 5/8 and 7 3/4 in fitted caps and usually have three snaps left on these Crown snapbacks when I wear them.

Questions

Quick answers.

When do new hats drop?

Every Friday at 7 PM Pacific, 10 PM Eastern. Each drop is a small run built around a theme, and most designs never come back once they sell out. How Findlay Friday works.

Which hat should I get first?

Start with the everyday lineup. If you like a flat brim and structure, go snapback. If you want something softer and lower, go dad hat. If you truly can't decide, the 2 Hat Welcome Box gets you two for $49.99.

What are Stampede Laces?

Our patented laces run through grommets on the hat. Wear them across the brim for style, or drop them under your chin so the hat stays put in wind, water, and on the lift. A laser-cut wood clip holds them in place. Extra laces are $2 a pair if you want to switch up colors (they're too short for shoes, so don't try).

How long until my hat shows up?

With free US shipping, most orders ship in about 2 to 3 weeks, then USPS takes 3 to 7 business days. Need it sooner? Pick Priority Mail at checkout. We aim to ship core hats in 2 business days that way, and limited hats go out as soon as they're built.

What if it doesn't fit or I don't love it?

Return it or swap it free within 30 days of purchase. Mystery boxes, gift cards, and custom collab hats are final sale. Email yourfriends@findlayhats.com and we'll sort it out.

What does the lifetime warranty cover?

Damage like rips, tears, blown grommets, pocket or snap failures, lace damage, frayed threads, smashed wood clips, and factory defects. It doesn't cover normal wear, stains, mold, lost or stolen hats, or intentional damage. If we can't repair a hat that's no longer made, we send a replacement mystery hat. Read the full warranty.

Where are the hats made?

We source quality hat blanks, then customize every hat in-house at our shop in Portland, Oregon: embroidery, laser-cut patches and clips, grommets, laces, and the hidden pocket.

New hats every Friday.7 PM Pacific.

Small runs, made in our Portland shop. When they're gone, they're gone.
