Rope Hats

Rope hats have a rich history dating back to the early twentieth century with their nautical look being popular with beachgoers, sailors and fishermen. Vintage rope hats did not always have the structure they are associated with today, being designed as simple sun visors at first. With this structure came versatility and the ability to be used during various activities. Eventually, rope hats slowly began making their way on to golf courses, adopted by golfers for their clean, neat look. Athletes from other sports like baseball followed suit, and not long after, companies and brands began using the rope hat for promotional and outdoor wear, with the addition of logos and other emblems.

In more modern times, the rope hat has become a symbol of the outdoor lifestyle, commonly being seen at golf events, outdoor festivals, and concerts. Rope hats have found their place in modern fashion, particularly streetwear, with custom rope hats displaying colorful embroidery and intricately designed patches. Rope hats continue to be extremely popular and have been used by companies, sports teams, brands and influencers as a branding essential.

The defining feature of rope hats, and the reason for their name, is the rope across the brim. This is the detail that provides the hat with its vintage, retro look, making it so fashionable and popular in modern times. Initially the rope was used as a loop to hang the hat up when not in use. Others believe the rope was used by fishermen and golfers to store hooks or tees. Over time the rope evolved from a functional detail into an eye-catching design element, giving the hats their vintage appeal and a nod to their nautical roots.
