Some hats you buy for a specific trip. The Buttercup is the one you wear everywhere else.

It's a low-profile women's trucker hat with a mesh back, a lined front panel, and a tonal Pistil logo embroidered on the crown. The silhouette is clean and structured without being stiff. The fit is women's specific, so it actually sits the way a hat should on a woman's head.

The adjustable snapback closure means you can set it once and forget it, or loosen it up on a hot day. Either way, the hat stays on and stays looking right. Brim is 6 cm, keeping the sun off your face without tipping over into floppy territory.

The Buttercup comes in a range of colors worth considering: Dove, Khaki, Denim, Sienna, Teal, and Mint. Each color runs with Pistil's signature color sense, meaning they actually go with things you own.

Pistil Designs has been making accessories for active women from Hood River, Oregon since 2003. Every detail on the Buttercup, from the seam tape to the snapback, reflects that. This is the kind of hat you end up wearing for years without remembering why you bought it.
