Outerknown Unstructured Hat

Vintage Feel, Built to Last
The Outerknown Unstructured Hat draws from two distinct eras: the no-nonsense durability of vintage workwear and the easy, lived-in character of 1970s corduroy. The result is a cap that looks better the more you wear it and fits into any rotation from a dawn patrol session to a weekend out of the water.
Outerknown is a sustainable surf-driven apparel brand co-founded by Kelly Slater, built around the idea that great gear should not come at the planet's expense. Every piece is made with responsible materials and ethical manufacturing at its core.
Corduroy Construction
The hat is built from heavy-duty cord fabric that gives it structure without needing a stiff front panel. The unstructured crown sits low and relaxed on the head, conforming naturally over time rather than holding a rigid shape. The corduroy texture catches light in a way that flat twill caps cannot, making it a standout piece while staying understated in style.
The front panel carries an embroidered Outerknown flag logo, stitched cleanly against the cord fabric. The brim is flat and proportional, keeping the profile classic without leaning into trend-driven silhouettes.
Easy All-Day Wear
Unstructured caps are favored for long days because there is no rigid insert pressing against the forehead. The soft crown distributes fit more evenly and packs down for a bag without losing its shape when it comes back out. An adjustable closure at the rear fits a wide range of head sizes and keeps the cap secure whether you are on the water or off it.
About Outerknown
Founded on the belief that surf culture and sustainability are not at odds, Outerknown produces men's and women's apparel with traceable supply chains and materials that meet high environmental standards. The Unstructured Hat fits that ethos: a simple, well-made piece designed to last seasons rather than be replaced after one.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Outerknown Unstructured Hat made of?
- It is made from heavy-duty corduroy fabric. The crown is unstructured, meaning there is no stiffening insert, so it sits low and relaxed on the head and conforms naturally with wear.
- What is the difference between a structured and unstructured hat?
- A structured hat has a stiff insert in the front panels to hold a rigid shape. An unstructured hat, like this Outerknown cap, has no insert, so the crown is soft and pliable. Unstructured caps tend to feel more comfortable over long wear and pack flat without losing their shape.
- Is Outerknown a sustainable brand?
- Yes. Outerknown was co-founded by Kelly Slater with a core commitment to sustainable materials and ethical manufacturing. The brand produces men's and women's apparel with traceable supply chains and environmentally responsible production practices.
- What is the Outerknown corduroy hat like to wear?
- The unstructured crown conforms to the head over time and the soft fabric does not press rigidly against the forehead. The adjustable back closure makes it easy to dial in the fit, and the cap packs flat for travel or a beach bag.
- Where can I buy the Outerknown hat in South Florida?
- The Outerknown Unstructured Hat is available at Island Water Sports in South Florida, both in store and online.
- How do I care for a corduroy hat?
- Most corduroy caps should be hand washed in cool water with mild detergent and reshaped while damp before air drying. Avoid machine drying, which can shrink the fabric and distort the brim. Check the care label inside the hat for the manufacturer's specific instructions.
