Vancity has been supporting people in our communities since 1946, like local entrepreneurs. As part of our Made in Vancouver series spotlighting local businesses, we talked to the WIRTH team about overcoming tragedy to honour a fallen friend.
“WIRTH Hats was born in memory of co-founder Ben Miller’s friend Jakob Wirth,” they told Daily Hive.
“Jakob had a dream of creating a hat company. For him, hats weren’t just an accessory they were the perfect addition to an outfit and a central part of what could make someone feel unique.”
Sadly, Jakob was never able to live out his dream; in 2014 he died by suicide. In honour of him, Ben created hats to share with friends and family a reminder of Jakob and a reminder that mental health affects us all,” they added.
Rebecca Tay showcases five toppers to worth considering right now.

February usually still has plenty of drizzly, wet days, but if you’re sick of toting an umbrella or the same old rain gear everywhere you go, consider this transparent fisherman’s hat with black piping by New York brand Clyde. Its only downfall is that it won’t necessarily hide a bad or greasy hair day like other hats, but it’s super cool, will go with any outfit and you can always layer another hood underneath.
