Over 100 years of quality headwear...
Founded in 1918 as an importer of sewing needles, American Needle has evolved over four generations to become a world leader in headwear manufacturing.
Starting as a family-run business, the company quickly expanded into the production of headwear and millennial styles of all kinds. The factory, located on the north side of Chicago, employed skilled tailors, pattern makers, sewing machine operators, and seamstresses. Their passion was creating new hat styles for new markets.
