Meet the family behind STANKEEZ
The original no sweat hat liner built in Hawai‘i. Created by Russ and Chantelle, STANKEEZ is a local, family-owned brand protecting hats with reusable liners made for hat lovers, sneakerheads, barbers, and hustlers worldwide.
From Ruined Hats to Real Innovation
Our founder, Russ Inouye, created Stankeez out of necessity. After sweating through too many of his favorite hats, he decided to build something that actually worked — a sweat-blocking, odor-fighting liner that doesn’t destroy the inside of your crown.
With roots in local culture and a deep respect for streetwear and style, Stankeez was built with intention: solve a problem, keep it simple, and keep it real.
