This is where it all began. In 1991 Barry Barr was running a fishing boat off the wet and windy Alaskan coast. A gust blew his hat off his head and sent it into the drink. This would be the last time this happened to Barry because he had an idea; make a better hat. Fast forward nearly 30 years and this beauty is still hand cut and hand sewn in Seattle by the same family. How about that for staying power? The secret in this hat lies in its constructions and materials. This includes the beefy nylon tubular webbing with 4,000lbs breaking point, KAVU d-ring adjustment, five 43-stitch bar tacks, tough polyurethane bill, heat laminated underbill, and four panel design secured with 1" grosgrain covered internal seams. And, this year the toughest hat on the market gets just a little bit better. Now made in 100% certified organic cotton.
4 panel cap, slight curved bill, black underbill, patterned nylon tubular webbing with KAVU adjustment.
Please note that the webbing colour and/or pattern is subject to change.

About the Brand
DESIGNED FOR FUN
Kavu's formula for living and working is simple — build fun into everything you do. So that’s where they start. KAVU creates true outdoor wear, stylish bags, wallets, and other accessories so you can express yourself and spread your good-time attitude.
KAVU was born in Seattle in 1993. Back then, founder Barry Barr was selling the revolutionary Strapcap out of his car. Now, it’s a straight-up classic and KAVU is Local Worldwide. After all these years, they’re still stoked by the spirit in which they were founded: buckling down, pitching in, getting our hands dirty, and creating gear we’re proud to wear and even prouder to share with you.
KAVU is also an aviation acronym for “clear above visibility unlimited,” when there isn’t a cloud in the sky and you can see to the horizon. That limitless feeling is our guiding philosophy and the attitude they bring to all they do. It means treating every day like it’s special, and then getting out and doing whatever invigorates you and makes you smile.
