Blue Marlin

Blue Marlin, founded in 1994, started out making vintage baseball hats honoring the teams of the Negro, Latin and Minor Leagues from the early 20th Century. These hats were originally handcrafted in San Francisco and became widely imitated and are still regarded by many as the industry standard. After the company’s first tradeshow, the hat line was picked up by high-end specialty stores in the U.S., Europe and Japan, including Barney’s, Fred Segal, Union and Takashimaya. In 1996, Blue Marlin introduced sportswear collections including the now classic zip-front “New York,” “Brooklyn,” and “Havana” jackets. Throughout the late ‘90’s, consumer awareness grew as a result of increased media coverage and a strong celebrity fan base including Bono and Bruce Springsteen. Waiting lists developed, while prices in the secondary market for popular hat styles topped $100. Today, Blue Marlin produces a premium collection of international vintage sport inspired clothing and headwear for men available at top specialty stores and leading department stores including Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, Macy’s and Nordstrom. The company also has three Blue Marlin stores in Japan.
