Conner Hats

The slogan "responsibly grown" beautifully made means more to Bill and Will than just high quality organic cotton hats; it encourages them to never stop asking the hard questions about their business model, and to always seek out solutions that lighten their social and environmental footprint. By committing the time and resources to create a transparent picture of how Conner Hats impacts the world via material sourcing, design, production, and shipping, they are able to address and reduce their overall footprint. Operating out of dual factories in St. Augustine, Florida, and Byron Bay, Australia, Conner Hats exists to make the world a better place through innovative, sustainable design and social responsibility. They feel it a responsibility to use organic cotton over conventional cotton whenever possible, incorporating it in their sweatbands, linings, and exteriors, to give you a low impact and toxin-free alternative to the fabrics you love. In the St. Augustine factory, Will has made it an initiative to use 100% recycled paper in everything from catalogs to office supplies. They close the loop by recycling all paper and cardboard, and reuse most of their boxes to save energy and trees. Always looking to improve, in 2015 the St. Augustine factory added 58 solar panels to their warehouse, powering 100% of Conner Hat's electrical needs! Coming from two coastal cities, Will and Bill knew that they wanted to make reducing single use plastic one of the primary goals of all levels of Conner Hats. That's why they do everything they can to remove any and all plastic from entering our waterways, from a whole line of hats made from recycled plastic bottles, to the use of biodegradable string instead of plastic connectors to hang tags. Each hat is sent on a flat section of cardboard, instead of wasteful plastic bags, with woven labels made from recycled P.E.T plastic!
