The First Release of the ALOHA snap back series is now up on our webstore.

Between 12-26 pieces of each hat were made, with 8-12 being offered at Ampal Direct.

Due to the nature of the material and how we cut the panels, each hat is unique, no two are exactly the same.

“Best hat of the summer!” – 12th Planet

This collection was inspired by classic Southern California summers – long days in the sun, surf trips to Baja, the Pacific and warm boozy nights at the beach.

We are proud to say the entire collection was hand crafted in Los Angeles from materials sourced locally. The colorways we chose are inspired by the many moods of the ocean and our beautfiul coastline. Premium chambrays, denims and corduroys are the basis of the collection while Hawaiian print linings, run stitched waves and waxed canvas patches provide the details Ampal is known for. We are offering four new snapbacks in our custom 6 panel block and introducing our new painters cap.

Purple Haze Hawaiian Lining

It was really hard to find the corduroy we had in mind. After scouring warehouses in the Fashion District we found the perfect two rolls. We bought them on the spot and made as many of each as we could. 36 Charcoal and 104 Blue

There‘s even a little story behind the patch. Even though we’ve used waxed canvas in an application that doesn’t utilize its inherent waterproof functionality, we still found the best there is. Sourced from an almost 200 year old, American company, this stuff acquires an amazing patina with wear.

Downtown Gray Hawaiian Lining

After finding a lot of flimsy chambray options from Chinese mills, we knew we had found the right material. Unlike their Eastern counterparts, this sturdy Italian chambray is worthy of its fabled blue collar past. This premium material is the perfect summer weight and we celebrated it’s rich texture with a clean blank design. The Downtown Gray Hawaiian lining gives it the subtle swagger we’re known for.

Paradise Hawaiian Lining & Stash Pocket

Inspired by a circa 1988 cap, I found a few years ago in a vintage store on Haight in SF, this is the premier of our Painters Cap. It has a short 1 3/4” brim that you can flip up and a stash pocket in the lining. It is fully lined for structure, but has no buckram, so it is fully crushable and well suited for traveling.

Sizes: S/M & L/XL

Sorry for the lack of posts, I’ve been busy finalizing all aspects of summer production. For the caps we’re making them in Los Angeles from materials sourced in Los Angeles. Doing it domestically and being responsible for every detail has been trying, rewarding and a little expensive, but I think you’ll find the results rewarding.
