Activist, sociologist, socialist, historian and author William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (1868–1963) was as brilliant as his writing was beautiful. Du Bois was the first African American to earn a doctorate from Harvard and one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). We highly recommend his collection of essays The Souls of Black Folks or his autobiography Dusk of Dawn.

This hat shape is an absolute classic. Colloquially termed a "Dad Hat," this 100% chino cotton twill cap is unstructured, and low profile. Buckle strap on the back keeps it nice and snug, while the 6 embroidered eyelets give your noggin some breathability.
