The Story Behind Bent Shaft Tavern:
Every great tavern has a story, and Bent Shaft Tavern (Est. 1860) has one of the best - even if it exists only on this exceptional hat. The vintage-inspired design captures the aesthetic of old roadside taverns and historic watering holes with ornate Victorian scrollwork and that classic “Give

It A Twirl” tagline that never gets old.
The name works on multiple levels: it’s a golf reference, it’s suggestive humor, and it sounds like an authentic old-timey establishment you’d find on a country road. That’s the genius of great wordplay - it keeps giving.

Richardson 168 Platform:
We chose the Richardson 168 specifically for this design because it offers a more modern, flat-bill aesthetic that appeals to younger demographics while maintaining the premium construction Richardson is known for. The 7-panel design provides a better fit than standard 6-panel hats, conforming more naturally to head shape.
The grey and gold colorway is sophisticated and versatile - it’s not screaming for attention, but when people see that patch up close, they’ll definitely take notice.

Leatherette Patch Craftsmanship:
Our “Bent Shaft Tavern” leatherette patch is a work of art. The design features:
• Ornate Victorian-era scrollwork and flourishes
• Detailed shaft and handle illustration (golf club, naturally)
• “Give It A Twirl” script tagline
• “Est. 1860” dating for authentic tavern aesthetic
• Deep engraving that won’t fade or wear

The warm brown tones of the leatherette complement the grey and gold hat perfectly, creating a cohesive look that’s both eye-catching and tasteful.
Why This Hat Works Everywhere:

Golf Course Approved:
The golf reference is obvious enough that your foursome will appreciate it, subtle enough that the pro shop won’t kick you out. Perfect for scrambles, charity tournaments, and weekend rounds where the scorecard matters less than the laughs.

Bar & Brewery Ready:
Nothing says “I’m here for a good time” like a hat that references both tavern culture and cheeky humor. Bartenders will appreciate it, fellow patrons will ask about it, and you’ll never struggle for conversation starters.

Work Site Humor:
For anyone who’s ever worked with tools, equipment, or machinery, “bent shaft” humor hits different. This hat is shop talk approved.

Flat Bill Advantage:
The flat bill gives this hat a more contemporary, street-style edge compared to curved-bill trucker hats. It’s the choice of younger generations and style-conscious hat wearers. Keep it flat for maximum style points, or curve it if that’s your preference - it’s your hat, your rules.

Handcrafted Quality:
Every Bent Shaft Tavern hat is assembled by hand in our PM Outfitters workshop. We carefully apply each leatherette patch, ensure perfect alignment, and inspect for quality before shipping. This isn’t mass-produced merchandise - it’s small-batch craftsmanship.

The Grey & Gold Combination:
This colorway is harder to find than your standard black, white, or camo options. The grey is sophisticated and neutral, pairing well with everything in your wardrobe. The gold mesh back adds a pop of color without being obnoxious. Together, they create a premium look that stands out from basic trucker hats.

Conversation Catalyst:
Here’s the typical interaction:
Them: “Bent Shaft Tavern? Is that a real place?”
You: “Absolutely. Est. 1860. Very traditional establishment.”
Them: reads “Give It A Twirl” “Oh… OH. That’s brilliant.”
You: “Right? Want to know where I got it?”
Perfect For Gifting:
Know a golfer with a sense of humor? A bartender friend? Someone who appreciates vintage Americana with a wink? This hat is an instant hit.
