At IPD, we don’t overcomplicate things. We build gear we actually want to wear, not what some corporate office thinks looks good on a PowerPoint slide. Our hats? Same deal. They’re made for long beach days, road trips with no maps, and those in-between moments when you’re not in the water but still chasing that surf-soaked lifestyle.
We’re not here to reinvent the wheel. We’re here to make headwear that’s comfortable, stylish, and unapologetically IPD. Let’s take a tour through the collection.
The Cord Collection – Vintage Feel, Modern Vibe
Corduroy hats are like an old surfboard: timeless, broken-in, and always ready for another ride. Our Mellow Cord Unstructured Hat hits that exact note. Soft five-panel design, casual fit, nothing stiff or uptight about it. It’s the kind of hat you throw on after a morning session when your hair’s still dripping saltwater. We’ve got it in olive and khaki—two tones that basically go with everything in your closet.
If mellow’s not enough, step it up with the Wavy Cord Cap in Dijon. Yeah, Dijon. Just like the mustard, but way cooler. Same cozy cord feel, but with a pop of color that makes your friends ask where you scored it. Embroidered with our “International Pro Designs” stamp across the front, it’s subtle but speaks volumes.
Cord is comfort, cord is character, and cord never goes out of style. These are hats that feel as good on day one as they do after a year of adventures.
Snapbacks & Truckers – Built for Long Hauls
Some days you want structure. You want a hat that locks in and keeps the sun out of your eyes from sunrise to sunset. That’s where our Trucker Bob Hat and Horizon Snapback come in.
The Trucker Bob keeps it classic—mesh back for airflow, snap closure for adjustability, and that easygoing vibe that makes truckers a surf staple. Available in black or navy, this one’s an everyday warrior. Toss it in your bag, wear it in the lineup, leave it on your dashboard—no fuss, all function.
For something sharper, the Horizon Snapback brings a clean silhouette and solid structure. It’s the kind of hat that works on the beach or out at a dive bar when the sun goes down. Straightforward, no gimmicks, just a damn good cap.
Graphics & Statements – Say It Without Saying It
Surfing’s never been about blending in. Our graphic hats are for the ones who like to stand out, throw a shaka, and not take life too seriously.
The Stoke Shaka Hat and Aloha Shaka Hat bring island spirit into everyday wear. Easy to wear, easy to love, and a reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do is keep it light.
Then there’s the Pool Cleaner Hat. Sand or navy, simple embroidery, a cheeky nod that makes people smile when they read it. It’s one of those “if you know, you know” designs that feels right at home whether you’re poolside, beachside, or somewhere in between.
Price, Quality, and Why We Do It
Every IPD hat sits around the $32 mark. We don’t believe in slapping crazy price tags on simple things. Hats should be accessible, durable, and built to last—not status symbols. Ours are mostly cotton or corduroy, finished with strap or snap closures, so you’re always getting a solid fit.
But beyond the materials, these hats carry our ethos. IPD was founded by surfers who were tired of watching surf brands sell out and lose their soul. Our headwear isn’t about trends or boardroom approval—it’s about keeping surf culture creative, raw, and community-driven.
When you wear an IPD hat, you’re not just keeping the sun out of your face. You’re part of a movement that refuses to let surf get watered down.
Picking Your Next Lid
Not sure which one’s for you? Here’s our quick-and-dirty breakdown:
-
For the laid-back drifter: Grab the Mellow Cord or Wavy Cord. They’ve got that vintage look and feel that works anywhere, anytime.
-
For the all-day adventurer: Go with the Trucker Bob or Horizon Snapback. Structured, reliable, and ready to keep up.
-
For the loud-and-proud surfer: Stoke Shaka, Aloha Shaka, or Pool Cleaner. These ones aren’t just hats, they’re conversation starters.
Final Word
We’ll keep this simple: hats matter. They’re more than shade—they’re an extension of how you carry yourself through life. At IPD, we make hats that look good, feel better, and keep you connected to the roots of surf culture.
Whether you’re road-tripping up the coast, paddling out for one more wave, or just running errands with sandy feet and salty hair, we’ve got the perfect cap for you.
Because in the end, it’s not about wearing a logo—it’s about living a lifestyle. And with an IPD hat on your head, you’re doing exactly that.
