Founded in Chicago in 1918, American Needle has transformed over four generations from a needle importer into a global leader in headwear manufacturing. This family-owned American brand pivoted in 1946 to focus on baseball caps as the cornerstone of its post-war business.
The company proposed crafting baseball caps for Chicago Cubs fans to club owner William Wrigley, who recognized the quality and craftsmanship of American Needle’s products. His endorsement led to successful sales and established American Needle’s legacy in the headwear industry.
