melin Headwear:
Promo-Ready, Celebrity-Approved

Inspired by the art of millinery, the craft of bespoke hat-making, dating back to the 16th century in Milan, Italy, melin’s commitment to craftsmanship is apparent in every hat they produce. For them, a hat isn’t just an accessory: it’s the most critical part of everyday wardrobes and the first impression made of a wearer’s personal style.

 

From adventurers to elite athletes, melin is built by those who push limits and lead with purpose – including your clients, should they seize the opportunity to co-brand with the prestigious melin name. Make the sale by showing clients these A-list melin ambassadors and explaining how they can harness that premium perception for their own brand.

A lifelong adventurer, Dylan lives for the outdoors and has built a massive following by sharing these raw, real moments with the world. From high-altitude challenges to deep wilderness reflection, Dylan exemplifies the melin ethos that happiness isn’t found in comfort zones – it’s found outside.

Professional Golfer

 

Jake Knapp’s journey to the PGA TOUR wasn’t paved with country club ease – it was earned through grit, grind and a relentless belief in himself. After a standout college career at UCLA, Jake turned pro in 2016 and faced the rollercoaster reality of professional golf, even stepping away from the game to work as a nightclub bouncer to support his dream. That hustle paid off when he broke through with multiple wins on the PGA TOUR Canada and earned his TOUR card. Known for his raw power off the tee and his never-quit mentality, Jake reps melin as a symbol of that premium mindset: built for performance, made to last.

Originating in Southern California, melin founders Brian McDonell and Corey Roth grew up playing outdoor sports and being surrounded by some of the most influential music, art and fashion in the world. This was the inspiration behind their desire for more than just another cheap cap. They wanted something better, but it didn’t exist yet — so they decided to create it.

 

Thus began four years of learning how to build, improve and elevate the ball caps that they loved. They researched the most iconic fabric mills in the world and sourced the best materials available on the planet while working tirelessly to improve their fit and innovate every detail. Finally, in 2013, McDonell and Roth were ready to show the world what they had created.

 

Now, melin is ready to create premium, collaborative headwear for your most prestigious partners, leaving both your clients and their customers blown away by the details and quality of the products they receive.
