The Ampal Creative

The Ampal Creative is an independent Los Angeles headwear label centered on vintage-inspired baseball caps, snapbacks and truckers. Founded in 2007 by Andrew Potash, the brand produces its hats in Los Angeles in small runs using premium and deadstock fabrics such as corduroy, Bedford cord and herringbone twill. Signature details include embroidered felt patches, chain-stitch embroidery, printed panel linings and an unstructured, crushable crown with a deep fit. The brand markets under the "Made Like They Used To" tagline, leaning on outdoor, surf and road-trip Americana, and sells direct, wholesale and through a Los Angeles store and showroom.
