If you follow Sam and Colby, you know their merch is more than just clothing - it's a badge of honor for fans of exploration, mystery, and the paranormal. Their hat collection, from classic beanies to snapback caps, captures that adventurous spirit. Whether you're gearing up for your own urban exploration or just want to rep your favorite duo, there's a style for you. Let's break down the key designs, how to pick the right fit, and how to keep your gear looking fresh.
Overview of Sam and Colby Hat Collections
Sam and Colby's hat lineup reflects their on-camera personas: the explorer and the skeptic. Their beanies often feature embroidered logos like the iconic triangle eye or the "S&C" crest, made from soft acrylic or wool for warmth during chilly night shoots. Caps, on the other hand, come in structured and unstructured styles, with a curved brim and mesh back options perfect for daytime adventures. Limited drops frequently include colorways tied to specific locations or episodes, like the "Queen Mary" red or "Hell House" black.
Each hat is designed with durability in mind. The beanies use a snug knit that holds its shape, while caps feature pre-curved visors and adjustable straps (snapback or velcro) for a custom fit. If you're after a relaxed vibe, go with a beanie; for a classic look, the caps deliver. Both are screen-printed or embroidered with high-quality thread that resists fading.
How to Choose the Right Hat for Your Face Shape
Finding the perfect hat starts with understanding your face shape. For round faces, beanies worn loosely with some brim exposed can elongate your features. Avoid tight-fitting beanies that sit flat on your head. Caps with high crowns and curved brims work well - the vertical lines balance roundness.
For oval faces - considered the most versatile - you can pull off nearly any style. A classic snapback sits well, and a slouchy beanie adds texture. Square faces benefit from soft, slouchy beanies that soften angular jawlines. Avoid rigid caps with flat brims; opt for a curved brim to complement the angles.
Heart-shaped faces (wider forehead, narrow chin) should try low-profile caps and beanies worn back on the head to reduce forehead emphasis. A beanie with a folded brim adds width at the temples. Sam and Colby themselves often wear beanies pulled down low for a mysterious look - a style that works best for longer faces.
Care and Maintenance for Your Gear
To keep your Sam and Colby hat in top condition, follow these care tips. For beanies - especially wool blends - hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid wringing; instead, roll in a towel to absorb excess water, then reshape and lay flat to dry. Never toss them in the dryer or the knit may shrink and lose its shape.
For caps, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. If you must machine wash, place the cap in a pillowcase or garment bag on a delicate cycle, then air dry with a hat form or balled-up towel to maintain the brim's curve. Avoid prolonged sun exposure, which can fade the embroidery. For mesh-back caps, be gentle around the foam front panel to prevent warping.
Limited Edition Drops and Where to Find Them
Sam and Colby frequently release limited edition hats tied to major videos or events. For example, the "Stanley Hotel" beanie dropped alongside their paranormal investigation series, and the "Chernobyl" cap came with a unique hazard yellow colorway. These drops often sell out in hours, so you need to stay alert.
The best way to catch these releases is to follow Sam and Colby's official social media channels - they announce drop dates and times there. You can also sign up for the merchandise newsletter (link below) to get email alerts. Drops typically happen at random times, so turning on notifications is key. If you miss a drop, keep an eye on resale platforms, but be prepared to pay a premium. For guaranteed availability, the core collection - including the classic black beanie and white logo snapback - is always in stock.
