Lifeguard Hats and Straw Beach Hats are a perfect choice for wearing in hot weather, as they protect one from the UV while at the same time allowing for a little ventilation to help keep heads cooler. Cotton is a natural material that’s often used for making Beach Hats to keep heads cool, making this a perfect choice when going to the beach.

Custom Lifeguard Hats
The classic lifeguard hat is the wide-brim straw style you see on every beach tower — lightweight, breathable, and built to keep sun off your face and neck all day. We customize them with sewn-on patches, which hold up far better on straw than direct embroidery. Pick your patch style, send us your logo, and we'll mock it up on the hat before you order.
Lifeguard Hat – Perfect for the Beach
Beach patrols, junior lifeguard programs, swim schools, surf camps, and beach clubs all use these hats for the same reason: they work. The wide brim shades better than any cap, the straw breathes in the heat, and an adjustable chin cord keeps it on in the wind. Add your program's patch and every guard on the sand is instantly identifiable.
Lifeguard Hats – More Than Just A Beach Hat
Straw lifeguard hats have moved well past the beach tower. Breweries, country concerts, golf tournaments, landscaping crews, and summer festivals all order them because nothing else combines sun protection, comfort, and a big visible spot for a logo patch. If your event is outdoors in the summer, this is the hat people actually keep wearing after they leave.
Customized Straw Hats
Every straw hat we sell is customized with a patch — that's the whole point. Our custom patches come in leather, woven, embroidered, and PVC, and we'll help you pick the style that reads best against straw. Ordering for a full crew or a year-round program? We also do Custom Trucker Hats and Dad Hats for the season openers, and Custom Beanies when the weather turns.

Custom Straw Hat FAQs
Everything you need to know about custom straw lifeguard hats.
Can you embroider directly on a straw hat?
Direct embroidery on straw is risky — the needle perforates the weave and can weaken or crack it. That’s why we decorate straw hats with sewn-on patches instead: the patch carries the detail, and the stitching anchors to the band and brim without damaging the straw. You get a sharper logo and a hat that lasts longer.
What kind of patch works best on a lifeguard hat?
Woven patches are the most popular — they hold fine detail and small text, and they’re lightweight enough for the front panel. Leather patches give a premium, resort-style look on natural straw. Embroidered patches read bold and classic, and PVC is the pick when hats will get wet constantly. Send us your logo and we’ll recommend the style that reads best.
What's the minimum order for custom straw hats?
Our straw hat pricing starts at 24 pieces, with woven-patch pricing from $13.75 per hat at higher quantities, and the per-hat price drops at 50, 100, and 200. A couple of our value styles carry a 50-piece minimum — it’s noted on the style. For orders over a couple hundred, email us for a quote — larger runs get better pricing on both the hats and the patches.
Are lifeguard hats one-size-fits-all?
Most straw lifeguard hats are one size fits most, and the adjustable chin cord handles the rest — it keeps the hat secure in wind and lets wearers snug the fit. Ordering for a mixed group or a junior guard program? Ask us about sizing and youth options when you request a quote.
How do I keep a straw hat from losing its shape?
Handle it by the brim rather than pinching the crown, keep it dry, and store it upside-down on its crown in a cool, dry place. If it picks up dust, a damp cloth wipes it clean. Straw remembers dents, so don’t crush it into a bag — hand it out flat or boxed and it’ll look right all season.

Hear first-hand from our incredible community of customers.
I have had countless orders with Consolidated over the last 10+ years. Hats, hoodies, shirts, embroidery... the attention to detail is something I never have to question, and my recent order of 144 t-shirts was no different. I didnt even need to check the print before I put the order in the back of the truck. Thank you guys.
Consolidated Ink was such a pleasure to work with! Professional, punctual and extremely communicative. Not only was all the design and printing Perfect, but the materials they recommended were great quality. I have already placed a full re-order with them. Highly recommend using Consolidated Ink.
Could not be happier. Needed a small quantity of T-shirts for an important public event -- and fast! Not only was the whole job turned around on a dime, but the result was terrific -- and they actually improved the main graphic, generating a higher resolution version. Never going anywhere else.
We used consolidated ink to curate our swag for the local little league… our merch is the talk of the town and sought out by many! Coolest hats and softest t-shirts around. We even had a tight deadline and they came through for us!
The team at Consolidated Ink did such a great job. They turned around merchandise for us in such a fast manner - even got great delivery and complete quality were so thrilled with results thank you thank you
Would highly recommend anyone work w Consolidated Ink - incredibly detailed, professional & reasonably priced. Pat was able to source exactly what I needed and got the job done within days of placing the order. 5 stars!
