You can give the game’s founders a tip of the cap with a Scotch-style newsboy golf hat, or you can maximize your coverage with a breathable, wide-brim sun protection golf hat.

    Sustainable Sun Protection for Better Performance

    Conner Hats offers handmade golf hats designed for serious sun protection and all-day comfort on the course. Our collection features wide-brim hats, breathable bucket hats, and classic newsboy caps—all made from sustainable materials including organic cotton, recycled plastic bottles, hemp, and organic raffia.

    What Makes Our Golf Hats Different

    Sun Protection That Works: Most golf hats in our collection offer sun protection, with UPF ratings applying only to qualifying hats. Wide-brim styles like the Aussie Golf Soakable Mesh Hat provide shade for your face and neck. Learn more about why golfers wear hats.

    Sustainable Materials: As a family-owned business, we use organic cotton, hemp, recycled polyester from plastic bottles, and organic raffia. Our original St. Augustine warehouse runs on 100% solar power (orders now ship from American Fork, Utah), and we have eliminated single-use plastics from packaging, using biodegradable and recyclable materials instead. We still maintain our company food forest at the site and have created a hub there for other small businesses to use the location.

    FAQs

    Our golf hats are not UPF rated. Their brims provide shade, but this is not a UPF rating. Check each product page for details.

    We use sustainable materials including organic cotton, hemp, recycled polyester made from plastic bottles, organic raffia, paper straw, and canvas. Many styles feature breathable mesh panels. Our Aussie Golf Soakable Mesh Hat combines faux suede with mesh ventilation. All materials are chosen for durability and minimal environmental impact.

    For hot weather golf, prioritize three features: wide brim for shade (3+ inches), breathable materials with mesh ventilation, and moisture-wicking sweatbands. Our Aussie Golf Soakable Mesh Hat is specifically designed for extreme heat; you can wet the crown before play for evaporative cooling, then re-dip the hat when it fades. Light colors like khaki, sand, and white reflect heat better than dark colors. Bucket hats and wide-brim styles provide better neck protection than traditional caps.

    Yes. Our golf hats are suitable for both men and women. Sizing and fit options vary by style, so check individual product pages for detailed size information. Measure your head circumference just above the ears for the most accurate fit. Two free size inserts ship with every order.

    Care depends on material. Organic cotton and canvas hats can be spot-cleaned with mild soap and water, then air-dried away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Straw and raffia hats should be wiped with a damp cloth only—never submerge them. Reshape hats while damp and allow them to dry completely before storage. Store hats upside down or on a hat stand to maintain shape. Our soakable mesh hats are designed to get wet, but should air-dry completely between uses to prevent mildew.

    Yes, a golf hat can help in practical ways. A wide brim can provide shade and reduce glare, which may make it easier to track the ball and read greens. Staying cooler can help you maintain focus and avoid fatigue during long rounds. On hats with an inner terry stretch band, the moisture-wicking band can help manage perspiration. Golfers wear hats for practical benefits as well as style.

    Bucket hats have a downward-sloping brim all around, typically 2-3 inches wide, creating a relaxed fit. Wide-brim hats have a flatter, broader brim (3-4+ inches) that provides more extensive shade. Both styles provide shade; bucket hats tend to be more casual and packable, while wide-brim hats (like our outback styles) offer more coverage for the face, ears, and neck. Choose based on your preferred style and how much sun exposure you expect.

    Packability varies by style. Some hats are packable, while others should not be crushed. Check the product page for your specific hat before packing it.

    U.S. returns and exchanges are available within 30 days of purchase. Hats must be unworn and unwashed, have their paper tags attached, and be in the original packaging. Exchanges have free shipping through Redo when you select and pay for the Redo option at checkout. Return shipping for refunds is charged, and using your own label incurs a $10 restocking fee. Items on our 40% Sale page are final sale. Purchases from connerhats.com are covered by our Limited Lifetime Guarantee. For a workmanship failure, we replace the same style, size, and color free, with shipping paid, within the first 12 months; after that, you receive 40% off a replacement, with shipping not included. For material degradation from use, we provide a 30% off code. If your hat is lost or stolen, you can get 50% off the same hat; shipping is not included. Orders over $79 ship free.
