We go to the head of the class with the new Stay Patch Knit Hat

As with all of our products, these knit hats are made in the USA.

As with all of our products, these knit hats are made in the USA.

In light of the pandemic and the economic uncertainty it introduced, Stay has been conservative with rolling out new products.

We’ve introduced one new tee, our Ben’s Bolt design, while focusing on keeping top-selling tees such as Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful and Pennsylvania Craft Beer in stock. We’ve added a few accessories, Ben’s Bolt Mini Zip Bag and Pennsylvania Craft Beer sticker; Stay Unstructured Twill Hats; and kids and adult jersey face masks.

To top off topsy-turvy 2020, we’ve rolled out the Stay Patch Knit Hat, available in forest green, athletic gold and black. The hats feature our original patch, the same one you’ll find on the Stay Trucker Hat and the Stay Charcoal Twill Hat.

We had extra patches sitting in inventory. The challenge was to find a great maker of U.S.-made knit hats, and we found one in Artex Knitting Mills, which describes itself as "one of the last great knitting mills in the USA." Begun in 1926 in Philadelphia's Old City, Artex has operated in Westville, N.J., since 1990.

In a challenging year, we’ve focused on small victories. Besides Artex, we found Iehle Custom Embroidery in Lancaster, which was recommended to us by our screen printers, Unique Apparel, also in Lancaster.

Iehle did a great job embroidering the Stay logo on our unstructured twill hats and with sewing the patches to the knit hats.

We’re thrilled with how our latest product turned out. Quantities are limited, and cold weather is coming, so act now!
