Why I Started Get Trip Hats

I’ve always loved bringing something back from a trip — especially a hat.

Not a fancy one. Just a simple hat from a place I’d been.
Something I could wear later that instantly took me back there.

Over the years, I had a few favorites.
A hat from one trip I wore almost every day… until it finally wore out.
Another one didn’t survive the washing machine.
And a couple just disappeared somewhere along the way.

And that’s when I realized something…

It’s surprisingly hard to find that same hat again once you’re home.

Not just the style — but something that feels like the original.
Something connected to the place.

So I started looking.

And that’s how this started.

So I built something I wish existed.
