We teamed up with BEAMS+ to create a limited edition capsule of QMS headwear, continuing our ongoing collaboration around functional, sea-ready hats with a little personality.
The Convertible Sailing Hat takes the easy coverage of a bucket and adds a clever brim construction that lets it change shape depending on the day. The brim is fused so it can flip up and out of the way when you want more visibility, while still holding enough structure up front to act like a ballcap brim when you need shade.
It is part sailing hat, part bucket, part “why don’t more hats work this way?” Like most good utilitarian design, the trick is simple once you see it: coverage when you want it, clearance when you don’t, and a shape that feels right at sea or ashore.

Don't know your hat size? Here's how to find out. Wrap a cloth measuring tape or string around your head at the point at which your hat normally sits (~ 1/2" above your ear and across mid-forehead). Pull the tape or string tightly enough to get an accurate measurement, but not uncomfortably so. Take the measurement and match it to the next largest interior circumference listed above.
A word of caution: Most men actually wear a size large hat instead of a medium. Just because you are a medium in pants, shirts, etc. doesn't mean vour hat size is a medium too!

"It’s a stylish hat that does protect one’s face from the sun. Well made. The crown in the white version is lightweight but substantial. More substantial still is the brim, which is not floppy as a bucket hat would be, but rather sturdy. (My only complaint is that the brim is 2. 5” wide, not 3”. ) I’ve been told I look dapper in this hat, and I plan to give it heavy use this summer."
"My wife gave this to me and I love it!"
"This is the quintessential tennis hat. Perfect - EXCEPT, I wish they would offer a smaller size for women. I had to make a fabric band inside to create a better, more snug fit."
"I wore this hat 50 years ago when I learned how to play tennis. Loved it then and love this new, sturdier version now!"
"Quality piece of traditional gear."
"Classic and unique this white knight sailing hat is an awesome addition to your sprezzatura. Love how it looks back while you’re moving forward"
"The quality of materials, the stitching and the fit are exceptional. This is a superb hat that will last a lifetime."
"The Sailing Hat is both functional and attractive. Great buy!"
"The hat is of excellent quality like back in the 70/80’s type material and construction. I will be proud to wear my hat I bought from y’all."
"Looking for a hat somewhere between all of my wide-brim sunhats and a baseball hat, this is perfection. I use it for outside work/walking during the summer"
