This 5-panel flat-brimmed hat features a custom Civilian Conservation Corps patch on the front and a Parks Project embroidery on the right side — a real nod to the New Deal-era program that built much of America's parks infrastructure.
The CCC is a piece of American parks history — a 1930s New Deal program that employed millions of young men to build trails, cabins, and park infrastructure across the country. The custom patch carries that heritage forward. Soft 100% cotton, metal clasp back closure that wears in and develops a real patina, 5-panel flat brim silhouette. The kind of hat that earns repeat buyers — real verified reviews confirm people come back for a second one after years.
Every Parks Project purchase helps fund vital projects in parks around the U.S. Leave It Better Than You Found It™.
Custom Civilian Conservation Corps Patch
The strongest hook — a custom CCC patch on the front. The Civilian Conservation Corps (1933-1942) was a New Deal program that employed millions to build trails, cabins, and infrastructure across America's parks. Real American parks heritage, not just a logo.
"Bought a Second Hat After 3 Years" Tester Callout
Real verified buyer review: "I bought a second hat after 3 years because I liked my first one so much." — Samuel G. Real social proof of repeat-buyer loyalty. A 3-year-owned hat being replaced with the same product is the strongest possible endorsement.
"They Don't Press Down on My Ears" Tester Callout

"Great Fit, Is a Keeper" Tester Callout
Real verified buyer review: "Great fit, is a keeper." — Miranda S. Real social proof on the long-term love. "Keeper" = not getting returned, getting worn for years.
"My Husband Wears It Often" Tester Callout
Real verified buyer review: "A great hat, my husband wears it often." — Mhairi D. Real social proof on real-world wear frequency.
5-Panel + Flat Brim Build
5-panel construction with a flat brim — a different silhouette than the typical 6-panel curved-brim baseball cap. The 5-panel flat brim gives it a laid-back, skate-influenced look that stands out.
Metal Clasp Back Closure
Metal clasp back closure — solid metal hardware that adjusts to a custom fit and develops a real patina over time. The kind of detail that separates it from a plastic snapback.
100% Cotton
100% cotton construction — soft, breathable, and the kind of quality that real buyers confirm over years of wear.
Parks Project Right-Side Embroidery
Parks Project embroidery on the right side — adds a second point of branded detail so the hat looks the part from multiple angles.
True to Size
Fits true to size — one less guess in the fit equation. Sits right where you'd expect.
