There’s something special about a summer on the Gulf Coast. The long days on the water, spontaneous fishing trips, late-night dock hangs, and easy mornings spent watching the tide roll in – this lifestyle isn’t just a season, it’s a way of life. And if you’ve grown up around Orange Beach or spent time along Alabama’s coast, you know that your gear needs to do more than just look good – it has to perform.
That’s exactly where Tide Wear comes in. Built by locals and inspired by the Gulf Coast lifestyle, Tide Wear hats are designed to keep you cool, comfortable, and always ready for whatever the day brings.
Built for the Gulf Coast Lifestyle
When we started Tide Wear, we had one thing in mind – making products that actually fit the life we live here. Hats aren’t just accessories for us; they’re essentials. Whether you’re out fishing all day, soaking up the sun at the beach, or walking through The Wharf, you need a hat that can handle the elements and still look good doing it.
Every Tide Wear hat is crafted with breathable materials, durable stitching, and a fit that feels as natural as the salty breeze. Our designs are simple but carry meaning – inspired by the water, the outdoors, and our local heritage.
The Story Behind Tide Wear
Tide Wear isn’t just another apparel brand. It’s a local story – built by three Orange Beach High School graduates who grew up on these docks, these waters, and these streets. We grew up shopping at places like Sam’s Bait and Tackle, fishing off the pier, and living the southern coastal lifestyle that inspired our designs. When we started Tide Wear, our goal was simple: to create gear that represents where we’re from and the people who share this way of life.
This Summer’s Must-Have Hats
Our current drop features two designs that capture the Tide Wear spirit better than ever:
-
The Freedom Lure Hat: A nod to every angler who’s ever hit the water at sunrise chasing that big catch. This hat combines a bold lure design with coastal colors, making it the perfect everyday hat for fishermen and coastal dreamers alike.
-
The Skiff Hat: Inspired by the simplicity of a boat ride on calm waters, The Skiff is clean, classic, and built for long summer days. Its breathable crown and timeless look make it the go-to for both beach days and nights out.
These hats are limited in stock, and once they’re gone, they’re gone. We make small batches on purpose – we want every Tide Wear piece to feel unique, like it’s part of something special.
Why Tide Wear is Different
There are plenty of apparel brands out there, but Tide Wear is about authenticity. We aren’t a big corporate brand chasing trends – we’re locals making gear we actually want to wear. When you buy a Tide Wear hat, you’re supporting a local Orange Beach brand that’s built by people who live and breathe the Gulf Coast lifestyle.

Summer’s not slowing down, and neither are we. Whether you’re heading offshore, hitting the beach, or just want to wear a piece of Orange Beach pride, Tide Wear hats are the perfect fit.
