Marlboro Hats With a Vintage Point of View

Hats were among the most common pieces of Marlboro merchandise ever made, because they were cheap to produce, easy to give away and visible from across a parking lot. That is why a Marlboro hat is still one of the easiest ways to wear the look without committing to a full jacket. This page collects nine Marlboro hats, each on sale for $60 instead of $90.

Where the Vintage Marlboro Hat Comes From

A lot of vintage Marlboro hat designs trace back to reward programs rather than to stores. The Marlboro Adventure Team started in Germany in the 1980s and reached the United States in 1993. Its catalog offered outdoor gear such as camp caps, fleeces and tracksuits, and more than 14 million items were ordered. Adult smokers collected labels from packs and mailed them in with an order form. Today those caps sell on resale sites as collectibles, which is where the demand for the vintage look started.

The hats on this page are vintage-inspired designs, not original catalog items. You get the faded red and white style in new condition.

Our Marlboro Hats

• Vintage styles: Vintage Hat, Hat Vintage, Vintage Hat Red and Red Vintage Hat.
• Racing styles: Racing Hat, Racing Team Hat, Racing Team White Hat and Racing Team Hat White X Black X Red.
• Graphic style: Cigarettes Hat, a design that references the classic pack artwork.

Every model is $60 on sale. The same designs also appear under our Marlboro caps, where we focus on the racing side of the lineup.

The Marlboro Red Hat

Red is the color people connect with the name, so a Marlboro red hat is the most direct choice. We carry two: the Red Vintage Hat and the Vintage Hat Red. Both keep the red front bold and work with neutral outfits in grey, white, black or denim. If your jacket is already red, pick a white or black hat instead so the two pieces do not compete.

The Marlboro Racing Hat

From 1974 to 1996 Marlboro colors sat on McLaren's Formula 1 cars, and from 1997 the brand was Ferrari's title sponsor. A Marlboro racing hat borrows that trackside look. The Racing Team Hat White X Black X Red uses all three signature colors, while the Racing Team White Hat is the calmer version for summer.

Styling a Marlboro Hat Vintage Look

A vintage hat looks best when it looks lived in. Pair it with a plain tee from our Marlboro shirts, a light jacket and worn jeans. For colder weather, a Marlboro hat with one of our Marlboro sweatshirts is an easy combination. If you wear a graphic jacket, choose the plainest hat in the lineup so the outfit keeps one focal point.

Fit and Sizing

Our hats are listed without size options. If you have a larger or smaller head than average, send us a message through our contact page before ordering and we will help you decide. To check your own head size, wrap a soft measuring tape around your head about one finger width above your eyebrows and over the widest part at the back.

How to Clean a Marlboro Hat

Spot cleaning is safer than a full wash. Use cold water, a drop of mild detergent and a soft brush, then let the hat air dry on a rounded object such as a small bowl so it keeps its shape. Avoid the dryer and the dishwasher, both of which can warp the brim and fade the print.

Marlboro Hats at a Glance

How Collectors Look at a Vintage Marlboro Hat

Because reproductions of promotional gear are common, collectors of original pieces usually check three things before paying a premium: the label inside, the quality of the stitching and whether the design matches a piece known from a catalog. An original can cost far more than a new cap and often shows sun fading on the front panel. If what you want is simply the look for everyday wear, a vintage-inspired Marlboro hat saves you that research and arrives clean.

Hat or Cap: Which Page Should You Use?

Many people say hat and cap for the same thing, so the nine designs on this page are also listed under our Marlboro caps. This page focuses on the vintage story and styling, while the caps page looks at the racing history behind the team designs. Whichever page you shop from, the products, prices and shipping are the same.

A Hat for Every Season

In summer, the Racing Team White Hat keeps the sun off without looking heavy. In spring and fall, the Red Vintage Hat adds color to grey and navy layers. In winter, a darker racing design works with a hoodie and a jacket, as long as the jacket itself is plain.

Shipping and Returns

Shipping within the USA is free. Unworn items with their tags can be returned within 30 days of delivery, and refunds go back to your original payment method within 5 to 7 business days after the return is inspected. The full rules are in our refund and returns policy.
