PJ O'Rourke Dad Hat

Minimal by design. Intentional by nature. This black dad hat is rooted in years of selling artwork on subway platforms—standing on concrete, leaning against tiled walls, watching trains blur by while ideas turned into survival. No loud graphics, no distractions. Just a small embroidered signature front and center, marking authorship, not ego.

Made from an 80% acrylic / 20% wool blend, it’s built for real conditions: heat from underground tunnels, cold wind rushing through stations, rain-soaked staircases, and long days that start before rush hour and end well after dark. The classic dad-hat fit stays comfortable through it all—broken-in, reliable, and unfussy.

This is the hat worn while setting up an art cart, talking to strangers, defending your work, packing up fast, and doing it again the next day. It represents the foundation of the brand—created in public, refined in motion.

Art-first. Street-learned. Quietly confident.

A uniform for anyone who’s built something from the ground up, one platform at a time.
