About Zephyr

Zephyr was established in 1993 by former retailers who were frustrated with the lack of consumer focus in the hat market. Zephyr has been the innovator of many of the styles and treatments that are now commonplace on headwear today. We believe in the highest Quality, most innovative design, and fastest delivery.

We are a multinational company making hats in factories in China and Bangladesh and selling them in the USA, Canada, Japan, and throughout Europe. Zephyr is the authentic fitted college hat and have a loyal following of those who only wear ‘Z’ hats.

We also have a passion for hockey and Zephyr's NHL collection is a true manifestation of the love we have for the sport. We also channel the same passion and creativity into building custom hats of all types for brands, companies, teams, and events everywhere.
