Hayfork Wildland Firefighter Leather Patch Hat β Built for the Line
Out where the timber meets the flame, gear isnβt just something you wear β itβs something that tells your story. The Hayfork Wildland Firefighter Leather Patch Hat was designed for the men and women of the US Forest Service and the Hayfork region who step up when the smoke rises. This hat isnβt a souvenir. Itβs fireline-tough, firefighter-approved, and made to carry station identity with pride.
What sets it apart? Choice. This custom hat comes with four unique patch options, each tied to the units and crews who make the Hayfork name stand tall:
- Engine 22
- Engine 321
- South Fork Management Unit
- Hayfork National Forest
Each patch is cut from genuine full-grain leather, pressed with sharp detail, and finished to handle long days in the sun, smoke, and heat. Over time, the leather develops a natural patina β the kind of honest character that only comes from hard miles. No two patches age alike, making every hat as distinct as the firefighters who wear them.
A Foundation Crews Trust
The patch sits on a premium hat platform that wildland firefighters already count on. Structured enough to hold its profile but comfortable for daily wear, it features a curved bill to fight glare and a breathable mesh back that keeps air moving when the work doesnβt stop. Inside, the sweatband holds comfort through long shifts, late-night mop-ups, and off-duty downtime. An adjustable closure locks in a dependable fit whether youβre running saws, pulling hose, or grabbing a cold one after shift.
Why It Belongs in Your Kit
This hat represents more than one station or one patch. Itβs a badge of pride for the crews of Hayfork, South Fork, and beyond β a way to show your place in the line, your loyalty to your brothers and sisters, and your connection to the forest you protect. Whether youβre active duty USFS, a wildland veteran, or a supporter who knows the grind, this hat makes the statement for you.
