The Ampal Creative has been making hats in Los Angeles since 2007 — every one of them Made in USA since 2010. Small runs cut from premium and often one-off deadstock fabrics, finished with the details that separate a good cap from a cheap one: satin linings, herringbone underbrims and a proper chino twill sweatband. When the roll runs out, that hat is gone.
Inspired by the Golden Years of American motorcycling, we continued this series of hats based on the old water-slide decals of the 30s-60s. We picked some more of our favorites, redrew them by hand and printed them vintage style on felt.
