Dad Hat
The washed cotton dad hat born in the '90s that never stopped being the everyday cap. 100% garment-washed cotton, unstructured mid profile, recycled ReTraze® visor and metal buckle with stitched eyelet. Ideal for front embroidery (12×6 cm) and exceptional side embroidery (10×6 cm) on a soft panel. Optimal for creator merchandise, lifestyle brands and casual promotional gifts — 2 colours: black and navy. One size.

The Dad Hat is the cap that explains itself: born in the '90s on American baseball fields, it became the everyday accessory of fathers who didn't want a rigid snapback, and then — in the 2010s — was adopted by streetwear brands as the antidote to the over-structured formal sports cap. The 100% garment-washed cotton carries a softness no raw-fabric dyeing can replicate: the cap feels lived-in from the first wear, adapts to the head without constraining it, and improves with use just like denim.
The comparison with the Action (ACTI) clarifies the positioning: same unstructured garment-washed cotton construction, but the Dad Hat has a mid (not low) profile and a metal buckle with stitched eyelet instead of the Sunday buckle — a closure detail that places the model on a slightly more premium construction tier. The side embroidery areas (10×6 cm per side) are among the most generous of the catalogue's unstructured caps, comparable to structured 6-panels: a concrete advantage for brands wanting the logo on the flanks too without giving up the unstructured softness.
It is the natural choice for creators, lifestyle brands and tech companies wanting an informal cap with perceivable build quality. It is not the product for anyone seeking a wide palette: black and navy are the only two colours available, making it a cap that bets on chromatic anonymity, with customisation as its only visual narrative.

Streetwear brand
Il dad hat in cotone lavato destrutturato con profilo mid e fibbia in metallo è il cappellino fondativo del brand streetwear contemporaneo. Il nero e il navy sono i due colori su cui si costruisce qualsiasi identità visiva streetwear — il logo è l'unico elemento cromatico, e i laterali a 10×6 cm permettono personalizzazioni su 3 superfici diverse. Questo è esattamente il formato usato dai brand streetwear come merchandise primario.
Creator / Influencer merch
Il dad hat destrutturato in cotone lavato è il merchandise da indossare tutti i giorni: morbido dall'inizio, si adatta alla testa senza imporre una forma, e migliora con l'uso. Per creator che vogliono merchandise che i loro follower usino davvero — non solo collezionino — il Dad Hat è il formato giusto. La fibbia in metallo con foro cucito è il dettaglio che distingue il merchand premium dalla commodity.
