Founded in 2016 in La Jolla, California, Hemlock Hat Co. was born from founder Anthony Lora’s search for a durable and stylish sun hat. Drawing inspiration from Southern California's outdoor and surf culture, the brand reimagined the classic lifeguard hat by adding a blank canvas for expression: a printed fabric liner under the brim. This signature design element, focused on both UPF 50+ sun protection and individual style, defines their core product. The collection primarily features wide-brimmed straw hats designed for sun-drenched days, whether at the beach, hiking, or relaxing outdoors.
