Since 2002

In 2002 a group of friends with a passion for headwear and a shared love of snowboarding and the outdoors— came together to start a company that reflected their lifestyle and shared vision: Headwear is more than an accessory. At the time, hats and beanies were little more than a commodity, another place to put a brand logo. Coal saw an opportunity to provide styles that took fit, function, and fashion seriously while knowing that headwear is an extension of you and your lifestyle. Design, quality, and style have guided us, and over 20 years later, we remain dedicated to making headwear more than an accessory.

Top quality materials and attention to detail have put Coal in a class of its own for two decades.

What UPF 50+ means on the Provo

A fabric rated UPF 50 blocks 98% of UV radiation. Only 1/50th gets through. The approach we use in the Provo is laser-cut perforations across the crown. Small, precise openings engineered for airflow that don't compromise the UPF rating of the fabric.

Shell
Made of a UPF 50+ rated polyester for sun protection
Sides
laser-cut perforations at sides, the crown is ultra-breathable and lightweight
Brow
A cushy wicking sweatband to keep you cool and mop sweat at the brow.

The Provo carries a UPF 50+ rating across the full cap - not partial coverage, not rated-except-for-mesh. Full protection.

Beanie Fits

We offer a range of unique fits to ensure high performance during life’s peak moments. Whether your head is large or small, or you’re looking for a more shallow or deep fit, we have an option for you.

Low Profile
Our shortest fitting beanie profile, this fit is great for people who wear small to medium sizes. Ideal for those who prefer a beanie that is the perfect length to just covers the ears, closely hugging the top of the head.
Mid Length
Our mid length fit is the happy medium between low profile and our tall Uniform beanies. These beanies have a little extra room at the top for extra style points and coziness.
Tall
The tallest of ‘em all, these beanies have the most extra length past the cranium when worn. Squish it down or wear it high and proud.
Slouchy
Easy fitting and slightly roomy, our slouchy beanies have a relaxed fit and a gentle drape at the top.

What it is knit from

Merino Wool

Merino wool aides in normalizing body temperature by supplying warmth without being too hot and by wicking away moisture. Like other natural fibers, Merino is water absorbent, however even when wet it holds onto heat, therefore you won’t get cold after getting soaked from rain or sweat.

Recycled Cotton

Our recycled cotton yarn comes from a mill that specializes in repurposing waste from the apparel manufacturing process. The yarn is spun from re-milled fabric scraps and clippings. The base color of the original material is retained therefore less dyes and chemicals are used in the process.

Alpaca / Merino Wool

Alpaca is also silkier and contains no lanolin which makes it a hypoallergenic fiber. It is prized for creating ultra soft and luxurious yarns. By combining Alpaca and Merino together we are combining the best properties of both fibers, creating a wonderfully soft yarn.

Lambswool

Lambswool fibers are shorter than other wool, which makes the fibers softer. This creates a yarn that is plush and more silky in-hand, making it a great material for beanies.

Recycled PET Yarn

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a plastic resin and also a form of polyester. Our recycled yarn comes from a certified mill that repurposes post-consumer waste in to usable materials. By reusing the material instead of virgin resins there is a reduction in energy consumption and reduced environmental impact.

Polylana®

Polylana® is a sustainable yarn blended from virgin and recycled materials to create an innovative fiber with the same characteristics as wool and acrylic.

Fine Acrylic

Fine acrylic yarn is both durable and soft. Acrylic is a great alternative to wool; it is non-itchy but like wool it is very warm and can be used in variety of different styles.

Polyester

Warm and insulating polyester fleece is used in a variety of our technical accessories to keep you bundled during the cold winter days. Fleece offers many of the same insulating properties of wool without the weight or skin sensitivity associated with wool products.

Loved by Heads Everywhere

These are the BEST beanies ever. They cover my ears completely and are not itchy. Perfectly snug without feeling too constricting and the softest beanie around.

Maria H.

I have a huge head, but it fits perfectly...super lightweight, and it's simply a cool design. Love Coal, and there's a reason I only buy hats from their collection now.

Jacob A.

I ordered two beanies from Coal, and they are both incredible. I contacted customer service, they were quick to respond and went above and beyond to help me out.

Rooted in Seattle

We’ve been firmly rooted in Seattle, Washington, for 15 years. Strategically partnered with Capita Snowboards and Union Bindings’ North American operations, our office space has always been a dynamic environment.

Last fall we bid farewell to our waterfront home in Magnolia near the infamous Ballard Locks and moved across the canal to a building of our own. While the Teriyaki’s not as good, we love our neighbors and have half a dozen microbreweries to choose from for after work socializing.
