Yiddish Dad Hats

Yiddish Dad Hats puts one perfect Yiddish word, like Shlepping or Noshing, across the front of a cap and lets it do the talking.

Craft: Embroidered Yiddish caps

Yiddish Dad Hats is built around a simple idea: one perfect Yiddish word, embroidered across the front of a cap, says more than a whole sentence.

Nearly 300 Yiddish words and phrases sit inside the American English dictionary, and most people use them without ever knowing where they came from. Mensch. Oy. Shmata. The brand was made for that "if you know, you know" wink that passes between people who recognize the word, and calls itself a tribute to our ancestors, our chutzpah, and anyone helping keep Yiddish in the conversation.

The range runs to classic low-profile dad hats, mesh-back truckers and unstructured five panel caps embroidered with words like Shlepping, Shmoozing and Noshing, a tongue-in-cheek Jewish Country Club cap, and an officially licensed Manischewitz collection that brings the deli aisle into the mix.
