Companion hats

As any paleskin can attest, the sun is an enemy. A big, hot, fiery enemy that sometimes wears sunglasses in pictures drawn by kids. Wearing a hat is the best way to flip the bird at the solar bully (aside from actually, you know, flipping the bird), and if you’re going to pop something large and protective on your head, it may as well look good, too. Enter the clever folks from Companion – a New Zealand label that’s been churning out some pretty sweet brims of late. They’re made in collaboration with refugees and migrants in Aotearoa, and if you’d like to see more, you can visit companion-store.com
