Coal is dedicated to making headwear more than an accessory.

Coal Headwear History

Six years ago, Coal started as a labor of love in an apartment in Portland, Oregon. In our first year, we launched with a vision for a quality headwear line inspired by friends and family. One that would be an outlet for our whole new take on the woolen, knit beanie. Drawing from deep roots in art, skate and snowboard culture, Coal delivered great fit and forward thinking design. We've stayed true to our original inspiration and today, offer a wide range of distinctive pieces from caps and hats to gloves and knits that match your unique life and style. We offer a headwear culture you can't find anywhere else. We hope you love our products as much as we do. Make them your own, and use them well... welcome to the Coal family.
