About Us
At Rigs Hat Company, we believe a great hat is more than just an accessory — it’s a symbol of hard work, individuality, and community.
The name Rigs comes from a nod to everyday gear — the tools, trucks, uniforms, and “rigs” that people rely on to get the job done. We wanted a name that carried that same spirit of reliability, grit, and style. Just like a good rig, our hats are built to last, designed with intention, and made for everyday wear.
Rigs was founded in Toronto by Connor, a full-time firefighter, and Carlie, a nurse. Both of us know what it means to work long shifts, value community, and take pride in what we do. Starting this company together was about creating something we could share beyond our day jobs — a brand that celebrates real people, real stories, and the lifestyle that comes with them.
Our Slogan: "Tip 'em if you got 'em”
The phrase “Tip 'em if you got 'em” is rooted in the old tradition of tipping your cap — a small but powerful gesture of respect. Back in the day, a simple lift of the brim was how you showed gratitude, acknowledged a stranger on the street, or offered courtesy to someone passing by. It didn’t matter who you were — everyone understood the gesture. At Rigs, we carry that tradition forward. To us, tipping the cap is about more than just style; it’s about recognizing the people around you, honoring hard work, and never forgetting the value of respect in everyday life.
Our Core Values
-
Community First – Rigs isn’t just about hats — it’s about the people who wear them. We’re building a brand rooted in connection, whether that’s through local events, collaborations, or just swapping stories.
-
Quality & Affordability – Premium doesn’t have to mean out of reach. Our hats are crafted to look and feel good without breaking the bank.
-
Authenticity – We’re inspired by vintage workwear and streetwear, but we don’t chase trends. Every Rigs design is made to be timeless and true to who we are.
-
Unisex & Inclusive – Style has no labels. Our hats are made for everyone — no matter your look, your background, or your lifestyle.
Welcome to Rigs Hat Company. Tip 'em if you got 'em.
Your design your way
-
Two tone or solid colour
You have the option to choose a two tone style (displayed here) or a solid colour hat. We will work together to turn your vision into a reality.
-
Structured Design
With the structured "A-frame" style you are getting a pointed shape. This is a very popular style, sure to make your custom hat one of your all-time favourties.
-
Unstructured Design
We also have the option to do more of an unstructured style. This will still have a pointed shape to it, but has a bit more of a shallow fit to it.
