Why Satin

Every hat is built for the sun. Almost none are built for hair. Cotton sweatbands grab and snag, they drink the moisture out of your strands, and the velcro at the back takes a souvenir every time you adjust it. It is why the hat comes off at the ninth hole and never goes back on.

So we lined the whole interior in satin, the same reason you sleep on a satin pillowcase, and left the crown open. No velcro anywhere on the piece. A soft stretch flexband does the holding.

“Satin lined like a bonnet. Built for the course.”

The Story

Pickwick is named for the little corner of Syracuse, Indiana where I first picked up golf. A lake town with a public course, borrowed clubs, and summer evenings that ran long. Nobody checked a member number and nobody checked an outfit. The game was just the game, and it belonged to whoever showed up.

But as a young Black golfer with long hair, there was nothing out there for me. Every hat flattened it, snagged it, or ripped it out at the velcro, and the choice was always the same: protect your hair or play the game.

Pickwick makes the thing I could not find. Real headwear for textured hair, satin lined like a bonnet, built for the course. We make our home in Seattle now. This is release one, and there is a lot more coming.

Country club sports. Without the country club attitude.

Local Rules

  1. Your hair is safe here.

    The whole interior is satin and the crown is open. Braids, locs, curls, extensions, wraps and buns all clear. If it does not work for your hair, send it back and tell us why. That note is worth more to us than the sale.

  2. First run means first run.

    150 visors exist in this release, 75 per colorway. When they are gone, the next run may look different, and this one will not come back.

  3. Wash it by hand.

    Cool water, reshape the bill, air dry. Keep it away from the dryer. Heat warps the bill core and that is permanent.

  4. One size, honestly.

    The 2" soft stretch flexband fits 21.5" to 23.5", measured just above your ears and across your forehead, with room left for volume.

  5. Play through.
