The Session Hat

The Session Hat by Pair Up plays on a classic bucket hat style with a squared off top. Originally worn by Irish farmers and fishermen as protection against the rain, the bucket hat has a long history. The Pair Up design kept the downward-slanting brim (flip up or down) and a small footprint (throw it in your pocket or bag easily). Hand-sewn with sustainable cotton fabric right here in San Diego.

Fabric: Sewn in 100% sustainable cotton. The raw materials are upcycled and woven by a family owned and operated mill, based out of Guatemala. Their circular manufacturing process is chemical-free, dye-free and uses minimal water and energy.

Dye: Working in small batches, our fabric is dyed using fiber reactive dyes. A process that is considered more permanent than most any other type. The color bonds with the cotton fiber and becomes a physical part of the molecule, creating an incredibly strong wash and light fastness! Note: We strive for color consistency but slight variations should be expected.

Production: Our Session Hats are made right here in our San Diego studio. We are currently a two person sewing team that cranks these out with love and care.

Sizing: To get your circumference, wrap a measuring tape around the widest part of your head. If you don't have a measuring tape, a piece of string or floss and a ruler works too. Please note that this cotton does not have much stretch, so size up if you're in between sizes. A bit of wiggle room is never a bad idea.
