About Ink Play Hats
Ink Play Hats is a virtual thrift store for hats! Our website is specially designed to help guide you towards your new favorite hat. We sell completely unique, never before available, headwear treasures! Come and browse and get styled!
What we sell
We specialize in one-of-a-kind hats: vintage trucker and promo caps, sports and team styles, unique finds from estate sales, barn cleanouts, thrift overflow, and similar sources. When a hat sells, it leaves the site. The goal is to help you compare many unique pieces in one session, not hunt one permanent listing.
Why browse by themes instead of specific products
Most people are not crazy about hats, but do like to wear one. They don't mind if its not a premium bit of fast fashion. They just want something that they think is cool or useful. Also, most people don't have the words to describe the type of hats they want, even if its a popular style. Thats why we use themes as the primary sorting mechanism. A colorful, generalized image paired with a title that catches the vibe of a slice of hats helps people narrow down a new head covering without having to delve into boring hat nomenclature.
How we source
We buy hats in person and online from estate sales, garage sales, auctions, thrift stores, storage cleanouts, and other secondhand channels. We handle and inspect pieces before listing them. We are a curator and reseller, not a hat manufacturer.
Shop direct
We sell on our own site so you can browse the full rotating inventory and buy direct. See How to browse for a walkthrough of the store experience.
