A Tour of the Bollman Hat Company, America’s Oldest Hat Factory

HYPEBEAST recently toured the Bollman Hat Company facility in Adamstown, Pennsylvania, America’s oldest hat factory. CEO Don Rongione lays out some of the history of the factory, its alleged haunted status, and the company’s commitment to American manufacturing.

The Bollman Hat Company is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to bring the manufacturing of Kangol brand hats to their Adamstown factory. The “Motherfunder” campaign has the backing of noted Kangol enthusiast Samuel L. Jackson who appears in the campaign video.
