It’s been a dream of ours to offer a USA-made red, white, and blue hat with our logo, name, and simple pencil holder. And we knew just who we wanted to work with: Ebbets Field Flannels.

In 1988, Ebbets founder Jerry Cohen had grown tired of the polyester look of sports memorabilia. He began looking for the quality materials of vintage uniforms, which lead him to a warehouse full of old baseball flannel. He bought it up bolt by bolt, eventually growing his company to where it is today. Learn more about this incredible company, their journey, their inspiration, and see their full catalog of American-made products here.

Whether you’re passionate about pencils, scoring baseball, or are one to tuck your pencil behind your ear to keep from losing it, this hat is perfect for you. The pencils you love will be worn down to the nub, but this hat that helps you hold them is forever.

We’re inviting our customers to pre-purchase their hats at $10 off retail and $5 flat-rate shipping. This pre-sale price will be open through June 7, at midnight. Pre-sale shoppers can also request a “lefty” hat, with the pencil holder above the left ear.

We also want to be transparent about our limited-run hats. We love the hats so much, we hope we have them forever as part of our permanent catalog. But, there’s also a chance this is our only Ebbets hat run for the foreseeable future. We sell pencils after all, not hats, so get them while you can!

Thank you for your support and we think you will love this durable, original, Made in USA (and designed in Tennessee) product!
