I had a feeling some sort of collaboration between Quintin and Intelligentisa was going on when I spotted a photo of Kevin Porter with a hat that said “Coffee” on the bill. Turns out, these two American made brands have been working together on a project…

“After being introduced to the Intelligentsia Coffee family, we realized that a lot of our goals as a company were aligned.
First and foremost, we take pride in creating our actual products in the USA. While we are manufacturing and QC’ing every single hat, in our factory located in Lincoln Heights, Intelligentsia is taking the time to roast all of their coffee beans, meticulously creating and inspecting their product, right down the street from us. Control over the process of actually creating the perfect hat, or creating the perfectly roasted coffee bean means ultimately providing a better suited product for our respective customers.
We’ve found a strong commonality in our ability to leave no details untouched.
This collaboration is a celebration of the idea that the customer deserves to buy into more than just the product that a brand offers, whether that be a freshly brewed cup of coffee or a hat, fresh off the production line. We are happy to present to you a fine collaboration for the end of 2011. Look for Quintin Co. select coffee soon on our online store.
These hats are available now at all Intelligentsia stores as well as on the Intelligentsia website. We also have a few online here. ” – Quintin
