Reversible hats can be folded inside out to display a different pattern or color, and are popular with the DIY crowd. They can also feature different materials suitable for different conditions and are comparable in price to non-reversible hats.

A reversible hat is a type of headwear that can be folded inside out to display a different pattern or color, or to have a different fabric on the outside. Reversible hats have been around for quite some time, but have only recently caught on in the mainstream in the United States. Some reversible hats make use of their dual nature to feature patterns that are useful for different circumstances. For example, one side of a reversible hat might be a solid earth tone, suitable for serious occasions or everyday wear, while the other side might be a bright cacophony of patterns, great for a wild party but not particularly appropriate for a job interview.

Other reversible hats use colors that accent each other. This type of hat, often called a reversible brim hat, allows the wearer to roll up the brim of the hat and display the interior color as an accent to the exterior color. When inverted, the colors are still visible, but the accent and primary colors are inverted. Reversible hats can also be used to provide two different outer materials, suitable for different conditions. A reversible hat might have one side covered in a waterproof material, for example, so it can be worn as a rain cap, with the other side made of a simple wool or terry cloth for use in dry weather.

Reversible hats are particularly popular with the younger DIY crowd, with numerous knitting and crochet instructions available for making a reversible hat. Knitting or knitting a reversible hat is very easy and involves hardly more work than a standard hat design. The end result essentially looks like two hats joined at the bottom, and one of the hats is ‘tucked’ inside the other hat to make a perfect reversible hat.

A reversible hat can come in every imaginable style and material, from plush to cotton to vinyl, while alpaca and wool hats are the most popular. Many hat manufacturers at this point offer reversible hats as well as their standard designs for either aesthetic or practical purposes. In general, a reversible hat will be comparable in price to a non-reversible hat, and at most it will only cost a few dollars more.
