Coal Headwear’s Caps and Beanies Double as Stylish Statements of Personal Expression

Powered by shared passions, a group of friends launched Coal Headwear in 2002. At the time, hats and knit beanies were typically viewed as something of an afterthought. These accessories served a function, naturally, but they were also little more than a commodity, giving most brands an excuse to slap on their logo and then call it a day. But Coal Headwear’s founders wanted their output to be so much more than accessories or afterthoughts. Paying equal attention to fit, function, and fashion, they took headwear beyond its initial scope and into the realm of personal expression. Design, quality, and signature style have guided the brand ever since.

Here we are over 20 years later and Coal Headwear is still as dedicated as ever before. From popular beanies to assorted caps to face masks to apparel, the US-based label’s signature touch remains palpable. These are lifestyle statements that you wear on your sleeve—literally, in some cases—and they emanate with the pure spirit of distinction and a perennial love for the outdoors. Combine that with comfortable and long-lasting materials and you begin to see why this brand remains a cut above the competition, even as they grow and evolve.

Speaking of evolution, Coal Headwear’s current selection of beanies and caps is blatantly impressive and it covers a wide variety of sizes and styles. Indeed, you could spend hours digging through the label’s various collections in your search for the cap or beanie that speaks to you on a personal level. All the while, an identifiable aesthetic persists. Here are some of their hottest newcomers and continuing best-sellers:

The Provo Cap

Coal Headwear’s most popular cap, The Provo employs a UPF 50+ rated polyester shell with custom laser-cut perforations at the sides for enhanced breathability. With a floatable EVA brim and adjustable shock cord and toggle back adjuster, it offers the perfect fit for any kind of adventure. Inside is a comfortable moisture-wicking sweatband, which mops sweat at the brow to keep you cool and dry. This five-panel cap comes available in a variety of colourways and makes for an instant outdoor essential.
