San Diego Hat Company

San Diego Hat Company Logo
Combining a strong passion for world travel with a tremendous love for hats is what led San Diego-based friends Andrew Bleecher and Teresa Gardner to create the Original Cotton Crotchet Hat® that launched their business in 1993.

In the beginning, the pair ran their fledgling business out of a San Diego garage. A groundswell of interest in that first hat spurred them to search for new materials and craftsmanship to expand their line. Over a short period of time, increased demand allowed the company to expand and flourish.

The San Diego Hat Company strikes a balance between being a leader in fashion trends for hats while bringing maximum value to its customers. From children to adults alike, they provide a wonderful assortment of timeless fashion trends in fun and functional colors, styles and fabrics – all at a great value.

From that very first hat in 1993 to today's fashion-leading trends, The San Diego Hat Company has remained true to its original focus of providing its customers with their favorite hats each season. By utilizing fresh ideas to create unique items that don't look mass produced, they have continually separated themselves from their competitors.

This hat is nice. Heavy material, warm. Narrow profile so it fits more like a baseball cap, which is my preference over the wider styles. This is now my go to hat for going to work in the colder weather. And we still have a few months of winter to go out here in New England… Not sure what happened to that other reviewed delivery, but mine arrived nicely packaged, in a box, with some protective paper to maintain the shape. Looked fresh right from the start.

Really cute color and texture but the description doesn't show or tell you that the back of the hat is open and woven to be work with your hair in a ponytail and that it's not a normal beanie.

This hat is identical to the San Diego Hat Company hat I've had for several years. I loved that old hat, and it stayed in shape even when packing it in a suitcase. It always looked good and was comfortable. Then I lost the hat, so imagine how happy I was to find the same one was still available! This came packed nicely so it was not folded or crushed. The neutral color is great, the style is perfect on me, and the brim is wide enough to keep most sun off my face.

Cute hat but unfortunately didn’t fit. I should have checked the sizing. The hat is only 20”. Average woman’s head is 21.5”. This hat is for smaller than average.

This bag is a poorly made piece of junk. I used this bag for perhaps a week, and it is falling apart When I got it, I noticed that the straps didn't seem supportive of the bag. But I bought it for a beach weekend, so that's what I used. It's a very large bag and, not only did I put very little in it, but I only carried a couple of pounds of my usual bag contents. It did not feel strong enough to put in a dry beach towel, much less a damp one, so I took all of that beach stuff out of the beach bag. After the first day, I noticed pulls and snags along the gold thread. After three days, I noticed that the straps -- sewn only an inch into the top of the bag -- we're pulling and deforming the bag. I was stuck with, with no other bag, so I kept wearing it, taking more and more out. By day six, the fabric had torn in more than one place. Unbelievable. I'm returning it now.

This bag ripped in half after the second time using it. I had two books (hardcover, regular size) and my usual stuff (wallet, keys, etc). The layer between the inside lining and the loosely-woven outside layer is paper.

I absolutely love this hat! It’s so obnoxiously large and glam! Be aware that it ships folded up and creased, so you can’t wear it straight out of the box, I’m going to have to get it wet and lay it out flat to dry for it to sit right. I can’t wait to wear this on my cruise! #poollife

Top stars for this visor. Comfortable, cute and super useful! Shades me from the sun, perfect little visor for the summer that also matches everything. Lightweight and easy to adjust. Highly recommend!

When they say black and gold, they mean sparkly gold! I was expecting a natural-looking matte golden colour to the paper/hemp, but decided to keep it because it’s fun for vacations. I gave it 2 stars for comfort because it’s a bit scratchy and you wouldn’t want to carry it around wearing a bikini.

I wish Zappos had used a silica pack in my order. The hat is very cute and soft but reeks of mildew. I tried washing but still smells. Such a waste

I love the style of this beanie. It is simple, but cute. Super soft as well! A little oversized in the back, but I don't mind the look.

The pattern is adorable. I love the length and the frills at the end but the shedding from this is horrible. I bought one less expensive from DSW so I would rather keep that than pay this price and not wear it.
