About SixHats Supply Co

For Kyle and Brendon the concept of creating a premium hat company came about like many great ideas… chatting over a cold pint. Both born and raised in BC’s Sea-to-Sky Corridor, the longtime friends have a shared passion for custom snapback hats. Seeing the impact their pricey habit was having on their wallets they thought: “Hey, let’s just start a business. We’ll save money on these hats,” joked Edgar. Flash forward two years and SixHats is a reality. They are made with high-quality materials like cotton twill, denim, heritage flannel and suede, in colours like tobacco, smoke, heather grey herringbone and vintage wool. Some designs draw from life on the West Coast, like the Explorer Tradesman with a tent in the forest. Others have a double arrow design. Once the production equation of the puzzle was worked out, the hat enthusiasts reflected on why they started the business in the first place. Although being able to design and produce their favourite hats and add to their growing collection — and share that with like-minded people — topped the list, there was something else that was important too: giving back. That’s why they’ve partnered with The Thirst Project, which brings clean water to some of the remote and poorest parts of Africa. After crunching the numbers and analyzing its margins, Cuthiell and Edgar found they could help six people per hat sold. And that’s SixHats mandate summed up: Each hat sold provides clean water for six people for an entire year.Read their story
