Gifts for the Crew: 8 Picks They'll Actually Wear (and Use)

If you're shopping for someone who runs equipment, lays pipe, or shoots grade for a living, you already know they've got plenty of stuff. What they don't have is something that says "I know what you do." That's what this list is for. Daniel's a General Superintendent, and we've watched what crews actually grab every morning. It's usually a hat.

Good news on the hats: every one on this list is adjustable, so there's no size to guess.

1. Seat Time Clear Mind Excavator Foam Trucker, $32.99

For the operator who's happiest in the seat. A foam trucker that adjusts in the back, made for wearing every day, not saving for Sunday. Running a dozer instead? Grab the Seat Time Clear Mind Dozer Foam Trucker.

2. On Grade Embroidered Rope Hat, $36.99

This is the "nice" one. The rope detail and embroidery dress it up, and it's still a real work hat. A good pick for grade and survey hands who take pride in getting it right the first time.

3. Seat Time Excavator Embroidered Camo Dad Hat, $34.99

Soft, easy, and it works on the job and in the deer stand. If your operator spends the off-season hunting, this one does double duty.

4. Equipment Operator Flag Visor Trucker, $39.99

Flag and trade on the same hat. It stands out on a jobsite and in a parking lot, made for the operator who's proud of both. There's also an Equipment Ops version.

5. For the Pipe Crew

Pipeline hands don't get much gear that's actually about their work. Either of these tells them you know what they do.

6. Pre-Shift to Quittin' Time

Any foam trucker goes great with the Pre-Shift Fuel Excavator Coffee Mug ($19.99) and a Keys Off Cold One On or Hats Off Cold One On can cooler ($14.99). Coffee before the first walk, a cold one after the last load, and a hat for everything in between. All three come to $67.97.

7. Stocking Stuffer

The Excavator Hard Hat Sticker Sheet ($13.99) goes great with any can cooler ($14.99). Stickers for the hard hat, toolbox, or truck window, and a cooler for the tailgate. $28.98 together, and it fits right in the stocking.

8. New Hand Starter

For the new guy on the crew, or the kid just starting in the trade. Any hat goes great with the Hard Hat Sticker Sheet so he can make his hard hat his own. A Seat Time Excavator foam trucker plus stickers comes to $46.98. It's a small welcome that means a lot.

Still not sure? Get the gift card.

If you can't tell a dozer from a trackhoe, no shame. The As-Built Redline E-Gift Card comes in $10 to $100 and arrives by email, so there's no shipping to wait on. They'll know exactly what they want.

A few honest notes

  • Black Friday Week, Nov 23 to 30: most hats are discounted automatically, no code needed. The Leather Patch hat, mugs, can coolers, stickers, and the gift card aren't included, and discounts don't stack.
  • Shipping: everything is made to order, and some items ship from different partners, so shipping is figured at checkout and can vary by item.
  • Christmas: order by Thursday, December 10, to get it there in time.

Pick one out today. Browse the hats or shop all gifts, pair a hat with a mug or a can cooler, and get it ordered by the 10th.

Rep the work. Rep the crew. Rep your trade.
