Click to learn more about our hat fit & styles
Our hats have a couple different fits for a couple of reasons.
First, we have 2 different suppliers for our blank hats and 1 manufacturer for our custom caps, like the hats with a sublimated design on their brim. Basically, we get our blank hats from 3 different sources. All three of these places make their caps a little differently, and while similar, you may notice a difference.
At this stage of our company, using these three sources is the best way to offer the variety of caps we currently provide, but at the cost of a less than 100% uniform fit. Past that, hats can vary slightly from batch to batch based on such minor details as stitching placement, fold & stitch tolerance, how the snaps are stitched in etc. These minor production variances can play a big part in the end fit of the cap.
As we grow we hope to move to a single manufacturer, so we have a uniform, perfect fit across the board. Just one step at a time. We do have a satisfaction guarantee, so if you ever get a hat that isn't right for whatever reason, you can send it back to us and swap out with something else, or we can give you a full refund.
Design, embroidery, laser cutting the leather, hand dying, treating & stitching the leather patches, grommeting the caps, laser cutting the wood clips, cutting, tying & styling the laces, screen printing, cutting sewing & applying the hidden pockets. We put a lot of pride time & energy into doing this the best we can.
We are still a young brand and we do not have the funds to build a complete hat from scratch out of our garage, though it is our ultimate intention, we aren't there yet. Here is a video that shows everything we do in-house, which is a very hands-on, tedious process and something that we are proud of and hope to continue including more aspects of production done in-house. https://vimeo.com/196499440
Gift cards and Discount codes can both be used at checkout if you have one. Enter it when checking out in the coupon code or gift card area.
Gift cards will maintain a balance on them once used. Example: if you spend $35 with a $50 gift card, the balance of $15 will remain on that card to be used.
Discount codes, if a certain dollar amount off, will not maintain a balance on them. Meaning if you do not use the full discount code amount, the balance will not carry over and the difference in cost will be lost.
Discount codes can not be stacked or have more than one used on a single transaction.
Your satisfaction is our number one goal. We truly mean that.
If you are not 100% happy with your order, you can send it back to us for a full refund, or swap it out with something else from our website. If you are in the US, we will cover shipping for you to send it back to us and make it as simple as possible.
The only exception here is a mystery hat. These are a mystery and sold at a discounted rate. You can return a mystery hat for a refund, but we are unable to switch you out with a new style. If you have a specific color or design you want, your best bet is always to get that specific hat. Mystery hats are by their nature a mystery, and while we will always do out best to make sure you get a cool mystery hat, sometimes they may not be the exact hat you are looking for.
As a company, we take great pride in our products and our customers. We would not be here without you, and as a result we will work hard to make sure you have a positive experience with our brand.

More info can be found on our warranty page - Click here to view
The warranty does not cover standard wear on a hat such as sweat stains, loss of structure or dirtiness. All hats will ultimately get dirty and lose their structure if you wear it a lot. The warranty is meant to repair or fix faulty components on hats or accidental damage to the hat.
That said, send us a photo of a well loved Findlay hat prior to a future order and we may be able to do something for ya :)
Due to the high demand for our hats, our small team is processing orders and warranty repairs as fast as we can. This process is very hands on and time consuming, but we are proud and happy to offer it to the Findlay Force
Our goal is to have your hat fixed & sent back to you within 1-2 week of receiving it. That said, we do not have a guaranteed turn around time for this process.
We promise it will get done as fast as we can make it happen.
You will receive tracking info from us once it has been fixed and re-ships.
We will cover shipping fees for US based orders if the hat is damaged within 6 months of purchase, or has any damage from the warehouse.
We will send you a pre-paid return label to send the hat back to us, and a box if needed.
If you purchased a hat from a third party, not directly from us you will have to cover shipping to us, but we will still repair it free of charge.
For international orders, we are unable to automate return-postage, so the customer is responsible for warranty postage to us. We will cover the fee to return it to the customer.
It is a simple way for us to give back to the Findlay Force for helping us grow.
