A new collaboration between Pressure Point Roofing and Tiki Island Wear has resulted in custom-branded straw hats designed specifically for roofing crews, offering sun protection, rain defense, and durability for the unpredictable Pacific Northwest weather.
Pressure Point Roofing, a reputable roofing contractor serving Southern Oregon and now extending its services across Southern Washington and Northern California, partnered with Tiki Island Wear to create a hat that withstands the challenges of real-world roofing tasks. The idea emerged unexpectedly during a golf tournament when Larry Sykes, Sales and Marketing Director of Pressure Point Roofing, received one of Tiki Island Wear's straw hats as a giveaway. After testing it on a rafting adventure down Oregon's Rogue River, he was impressed by its durability: the hat performed excellently despite being subjected to water, sunlight, and various outdoor conditions.
Founded on principles of trust and craftsmanship since 1989, Pressure Point Roofing has transformed from a modest shake-roof restoration business into a comprehensive roofing enterprise celebrated for its integrity, professionalism, and unwavering dedication to utilizing performance-tested materials. Their straightforward mission is to provide "peace of mind from the top down." At Tiki Island Wear, recognized for its custom, high-quality straw hats, these same principles of craftsmanship, durability, and reliability resonate profoundly.
The custom hats from Tiki Island Wear were designed with the needs of roofers in mind, offering wide brims for sun protection, hats that repel light rain and drizzle, durability engineered to withstand heat, sweat, moisture, and harsh outdoor elements without warping or deteriorating, and professional hats featuring the Pressure Point Roofing logo for a cohesive identity on-site. The outcome is a work uniform that is visually appealing, performs effectively under pressure, and has already received positive feedback from clients.
"As a roofing company, we hold our materials—and our workmanship—to high standards. We expected nothing less from our gear," stated Larry Sykes. "Tiki Island Wear exceeded our expectations." From the strength of the weave to the meticulous stitching and logo placement, the custom hats quickly became a vital component of the roofing team's daily uniform—whether under the summer sun in Medford or in the drizzle of Weed, California.
