Dean Crown offers a curated selection of hats made from polyester, synthetic suede, straw, seaweed, wheat, and other woven fibers.
We focus on styles that feel polished, wearable, and versatile — whether you are shopping for everyday style, event use, a branded activation, or a large group order.
Our assortment is selected with both presentation and practicality in mind, giving you options that photograph well, wear well, and work across different occasions.
Yes. Some styles may have additional color options available beyond what is currently shown online.
If you are looking for a specific shade, simply contact us and ask about available colors for the exact style you want.
This is especially helpful for bulk orders, coordinated events, branded experiences, and custom projects where color consistency matters.
Bulk pricing begins at 12 hats or more. This option is designed for customers who need larger quantities for teams, gifting, events, client experiences, staff uniforms, or group purchases.
Dean Crown uses exact piece-count pricing, which means pricing is tied to the number of hats you need, making it easier to plan and budget with confidence.
Bulk orders are different from retail orders. Retail is intended for 1–11 hats purchased directly online, while bulk is for larger-volume orders with discounted pricing and more planning flexibility.
If you need 12 or more hats, use the bulk path so we can guide you to the right quantity, style, and next step.
Yes. In most cases, you can mix colors and sizes within the same style to better match your group’s needs.
This makes bulk ordering more practical for teams, events, activations, gifting, and customer-facing experiences where one single size or one single color may not make sense.
If you have a more specific request, we recommend reaching out so we can help confirm the best setup for your order.
Yes — Dean Crown offers custom bulk orders for brands, businesses, teams, and event-based projects.
This is different from a standard bulk order. A regular bulk order focuses on quantity and pricing, while a custom bulk order includes personalized or branded details that make the hats feel more tailored to your event or business.
Custom options may include ribbons, feathers, chains, patches, branded touches, and other styling elements, depending on the project.
If you are looking for hats that feel more branded, more elevated, or more specific to your event, company, or concept, the custom bulk route is the right fit.
Retail orders typically ship within a few business days, depending on product availability and order volume.
Bulk orders, custom bulk projects, and Hat Bar bookings may require additional lead time depending on quantity, styling details, event timing, and overall project scope.
Once we understand what you need, we can provide a more accurate timeline for production, fulfillment, or event preparation.
Retail orders are for 1–11 hats. These are intended for direct shopping through the website and are best for individual purchases or smaller quantities.
Bulk orders start at 12+ hats. This route is designed for larger quantity needs and includes discounted pricing based on exact piece counts.
If you want larger quantities with no special branding, that is a bulk order. If you want larger quantities plus custom styling or brand-focused elements, that is a custom bulk order. If you want an on-site, styled guest experience at an event, that is a Hat Bar booking.
These are different service paths, and choosing the right one helps us guide you faster.
Yes. We recommend exchanges for sizing when needed so you can get the fit that feels right.
Because hats are highly personal in both fit and feel, the goal is to make sure you are comfortable and confident in your final selection.
If you have sizing questions before ordering, reach out and we will help point you in the right direction.
