CALIFORNIA STRAW HATS
Volcom: Orange County-based Volcom is a
one-stop shop for skater/surfer/snowboarder fashion, from straw hats to board
shorts to two-piece suits. Because they
target skaters – who shred clothes quickly, no matter how high quality – I did
not expect Volcom to put much effort into the second-thing-to-go elements of
clothing construction. After all, why
double-stitch a garment that’s going to be rags within weeks regardless? But I was pleasantly surprised. A few years back, I bought a Volcom
button-up. It was a good purchase. The
shirt had a clean silhouette, but with slightly skewed seams that bent people’s
eyes just enough to prevent them from looking past me. And – because I do not lead a
tear-through-fabric lifestyle – it lasted for years.
San Diego Hat Company: Carlsbad-based San Diego Hat Company makes serviceable, inexpensive hats for keeping off the California sun.
