Debuted in 2012, Popz Topz is a brand 60 years in the making. Crafted with the inspiration of style and the alteration of tradition. Founder, Ron Stephens, also known as Pop Legend or Popz, has spent a lifetime altering the origin state. Popz built a reputation for offering his altering touch on anything from clothes, cars, to his exquisite artwork. Now a retired factory worker and United Automobile Workers Union member, layoffs were an occurrence. With his family’s income determined by how well the company was doing, Popz made ends meet the best way he knew how: tailoring. Supporting a family of 6, he supplemented the family’s income with needles and thread. Years later, the gifted artist and tailor found his greatest inspiration with an old straw hat. Short of tossing the old straw hat, he thought, “What would that look like with a visor? The then 62-year-old father of the Grammy-winning singer, John Legend, went for a hit with a remix of his own. He cut off the raggedy brim, took a baseball cap, chopped off the bill, and encased the bill in black leather. Finally, he sewed the bill onto the straw hat. At first, Popz was content to just wear his new hat around town. But, no sooner had he stepped out in his “remixed” hat, that people were asking… “Man, where’d you get that hat from?” So, he raided his closet and did the same to 10 more full-brimmed hats. People kept asking. The lifetime artist, tailor, hat wearer, and now haberdasher eventually decided to bring his hats to market. Popz Topz is a hat line for the creatively confident man and woman, with evolving style. A compliment of your personal style, whether in hard bottoms or sneakers, on the subway or the runway. Our hats are crafted with dexterity and delicacy by Bollman Hat Company. Made in Adamstown, Pennsylvania our hats are created under 144 years of manufacturing excellence. With nearly 160 hands involved in its creation, Popz Topz presents a hat of class, quality, and exquisite style.
