Brand Highlight: Goorin Bros. - Bold, Unapologetic, and Here to Stay
At Bia Boro, we love championing brands that embody the spirit of authenticity, and Goorin Bros. does just that. With a rich history rooted in craftsmanship and a future focused on innovation, Goorin's iconic hats have made their mark, especially through their fun and daring Animal Farm collection.
A Nod to History
Goorin Bros. began as a family affair in 1895, with Cassel Goorin selling his handmade hats from a horse-drawn cart. Fast forward over a century later, and Goorin has mastered the art of keeping the old-school spirit of craftsmanship alive while injecting it with a dose of modern flair. The hats they produce are more than accessories – they’re statements.
The Rise of the Trucker Cap
Now, the trucker hat, synonymous with Goorin's Animal Farm collection, has an interesting history of its own. Originally worn by truck drivers and farmers in the 1960s and 70s, Goorin took the trucker hat from functional headgear to a bold fashion choice, giving wearers a blend of personality and practicality. These hats aren’t just for keeping the sun out of your eyes – they’re for letting the world know who you are.
Welcome to the Animal Farm
Enter Goorin's Animal Farm collection – a cheeky, daring, and eclectic line of trucker hats featuring embroidered animal patches. The designs range from roosters to tigers, each hat with its own distinct personality. And much like the animals themselves, these caps are wild, unapologetic, and hard to ignore.
What started as a quirky collection has now grown into an entire culture. Goorin’s Animal Farm isn’t just about the hats – it’s about a community of individuals who take pride in standing out. Whether you’re repping the bold lion or the mischievous goat, there’s an Animal Farm cap that captures your spirit.
Looking Ahead
Goorin continues to innovate while staying true to its roots. The future of The Farm promises even more imaginative designs and collaborations that push the boundaries of what a hat can represent. With each new drop, Goorin reminds us that bold self-expression should never be underestimated.
So, why do we love Goorin here at Bia Boro? Because just like us, they believe that what you wear should make a statement, and if you can have fun while doing it, then you're really winning. Without further ado, here are some of our favourites from the Animal Farm collection.
