"This hat makes my head happy. It's easy to adjust but doesn't slip. The embroidery is classy, and it's cool that you won't find it in a big box store."

Do these hats look as good as their pictures?
Better! These beautifully constructed hats come in a range of colors—from gorgeous Spoonbill pink to stately Storm-Petrel gray. All feature vibrant, meticulously embroidered designs created by a birder, for birders. No guesswork here.
Are the hats adjustable?
You bet! Everything is fully adjustable with an easy-to-use strap in the back for a comfortable fit that stays put. (The one-size bucket hats are the only exception. They fit medium and large head sizes best, but if you usually buy a small hat and have long hair, you can tuck it up under for a better fit.)
Is each one created on demand?
Yes! Every single hat is made to order. No inventory is kept, which means zero waste, even when introducing new designs to birders. Not only does this help keep costs down, it ensures you’re always getting a brand new hat—made just for you and worn by exactly zero people before it reaches your door.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
100%. If you’re not satisfied, simply initiate a return within 21 days of receiving your order and a full refund will be processed. Email yours truly—Annie O— at annie@annieknowsart.com and you'll be given the address to ship it back to, no questions asked.
Do the hats ship fast?
Orders typically leave the nest within 2 to 3 days and ship with a range of carriers, including UPS and the regular post. Delivery takes the standard amount of time for non-rush small packages. If you don’t receive your order within 10 days, email me at annie@annieknowsart.com for tracking info.
Are you going to email me relentlessly?
I'm a big fan of less is more when it comes to email. Some things are worth emailing about—like new designs or special offers—so expect the occasional missive. But don’t worry, you won’t get swamped, now or ever. Email used to be a good thing, and I’m all about bringing that back!
I'm a veteran artist and graphic designer who discovered birding a few years ago. It started with the movie THE BIG YEAR. I figured, Sure, this is about birdwatching, but it has three of my favorite stars. How bad can it be? Turns out, it's fantastic. Instead of finding something stuffy and dull, you get plunged into a world filled with excitement, drama and meaning. Immediately hooked, I ordered the book, then started learning to identify birds on my own.
At one point, I wanted something IRL to remind me of this new adventure. Specifically, I wanted something made for a birder, not a product with a generic bird-like shape slapped onto it. Except for a few field journals, I couldn't find anything that fit the bill, so I figured, You've got the know-how. Why not make your own?
So, I made some travel mugs, then followed up with these hats. If all goes well, expect more of everything: more mugs, more hats, and some cool new products, too.
Not satisfied? Simply email me at annie@annieknowsart.com to start a return within 21 days of receiving it. I’ll provide the return address, and you can send it back using any method you choose, as long as you provide a tracking number. Once tracking information is received, a full refund will be processed to the method of payment used for the purchase. (But I wouldn't worry too much about returns. I have a feeling you're going to love both the birder vibe and product quality as soon as you open the package.)
