About the Brand

Legacy Hats — Vintage Roots. Retail-Quality Craft.

Legacy hats trace their roots back to 1992, when two law school roommates set out to build a better-fitting cap than anything they could find at their campus bookstore. What started in an off-campus apartment became one of the most respected names in vintage-inspired headwear — known for washed fabrics, unstructured fits, and that signature broken-in feel you can't fake. Today, Legacy supplies high-end headwear to colleges, resorts, golf courses, and lifestyle brands across the U.S., staying true to their retro roots while keeping pace with modern trends.

Custom Legacy Hats

Put Your Brand on a Hat People Actually Want to Wear

Adding your logo to a custom Legacy hat associates your brand with well-crafted, retail-quality headwear. Frequently worn in everyday settings — on the course, at the brewery, around the resort — these hats are the perfect billboard for your brand. Embroidery and custom patches both shine on Legacy's washed fabrics, giving your logo a textured, dimensional finish that looks like it belongs there. Buyers who love the Legacy aesthetic also tend to gravitate toward Imperial and '47 Brand for similar vintage-leaning styles.

With The Monterey Company, you can add your logo or design to a wide variety of custom hats for any occasion. We offer multiple hat styles, from relaxed sun hats ideal for lounging by the pool or in the garden, to flat bill hats that stand out at ballgames, concerts, or festivals.
