Washed cotton dad hat

Morning dog walks and bright spring afternoons call for a soft cap you can pull on without looking in the mirror. We cut this from washed cotton that feels broken in before you even step outside. The stone wash has the dusty, quiet look of river gravel, catching the light without glaring back.

Soft crown shape

The unstructured cotton sits low and relaxed against your head without stiff buckram backing. It packs flat in a canvas tote, shakes out loose, and avoids that rigid boxed shape when you put it back on.

Back opening and buckle

An opening above the back strap lets a ponytail or bun slip right through so your hair stays put on windy trails. The rear metal buckle slides smooth to loosen or tighten the band as the day warms up.

Curved visor shade

The visor curves naturally to keep the low spring morning glare off your eyes while you drive or garden. It leaves your peripheral view wide open and casts a steady shadow across your forehead.

Washing the cloth

Hand wash the cotton in cool water when trail dust settles into the weave, then reshape the crown over a bowl to dry. The fabric softens with each rinse and keeps its easy drape.
