Hey Denimheads,

Whether you’re looking for shade in the summer sun or need a hat because you’re too lazy to do your hair (like me), this guide has got you covered.

From rugged classics in denim to versatile styles, there's something for every denimhead. I've also added a few shirts and some shorts to complete the outfit.

BUYING GUIDE

orSlow US Navy Hat (Daisy Mae)

I’ve practically worn out a TCB Daisy Mae over the past three years or so, and I plan to do the same with the orSlow US Navy Hat that I recently picked up on German eBay. 

Crafted from one-wash indigo denim, it features a slightly wider, stiffer brim that offers more shade without flapping down. The stiffness comes from the reinforced stitching and high-quality Japanese craftsmanship, ensuring it holds up through countless adventures.

Also sold at Independence. And Hinoya sells the Buzz Rickson’s Daisy Mae (when it’s in stock) here.

Samurai ‘Random’ Denim Cap

You could bury me in this hat. I’d just need to wear it for the rest of my life first to bring out all its true colours.

Made in Japan from several different Samurai denims and featuring a brass buckle adjuster, this cap is built for a lifetime of wear. It promises durability and a unique patina that only gets better with age.

UES ‘Happy Day’ Denim Cap

Any day wearing this cap will mos’ def’ be a happy day. Spread some love and get some fades, because this denim cap is guaranteed to provide on both fronts. 

Made from 9 oz. indigo-dyed denim, it’s crafted in Japan with a red chambray lining under the brim. As the denim ages, it’ll reveal those indigo hues, embodying a beautifully timeless vintage style (that’s fancy talk for “pure awesomeness”).

Poten Safilin Denim Cap

Imagine putting this Safilin Cap through a time machine and seeing it after five years of daily wear.

Crafted in Japan and indigo-dyed, the yarns in this denim cap are spun with European flax, renowned for its durability and breathability.

Over time, the fabric will develop a unique patina; it’s not just about style—it’s about the journey it promises.

Clutch Café have a similar Poten cap in cotton/linen chambray here.

Filson Logger Mesh Cap (in Denim!)

It’s outdoorsy, it’s trucker, it’s denim. This Filson cap is a hit!

Made from midweight 100% cotton denim front panels and breathable polyester mesh sides, this cap embodies Filson’s motto, “Might as well have the best.”

The precurved bill provides excellent shade, and the snap-adjustable plastic back strap ensures a perfect fit.

If you don’t want your hat to be denim, head over to the guide and have a lot at the non-denim hats I’ve found here.

STYLE GUIDE

Jeans, Tees, Shirts and Shorts to Wear with Your Denim Hat

I’ve also recently published guides to lightweight selvedge jeans, the best loopwheeled tees, short-sleeve summer shirts, my favourite shorts, and lightweight denim shirts.

Here are some of the highlights from these guides that’ll go well with all of the denim hats above.
