A new collaboration between Pressure Point Roofing, a Southern Oregon-based roofing contractor, and Tiki Island Wear, a custom straw hat manufacturer, has resulted in the creation of performance-tested hats tailored specifically for roofing crews. The custom hats, which feature the Pressure Point Roofing logo, are designed to withstand the harsh outdoor conditions faced by roofers, including intense sun, sudden rain, and high heat.
The partnership originated unexpectedly at a roofing-industry golf tournament, where Larry Sykes, Sales and Marketing Director of Pressure Point Roofing, received a Tiki Island Wear straw hat as a giveaway. After testing the hat during a rafting trip on Oregon's Rogue River, Sykes was impressed by its durability despite exposure to water and sunlight. This led to discussions about creating a custom hat for Pressure Point Roofing's crews.
The resulting hats offer wide brims for sun protection, water resistance for light rain, and durable construction that resists warping from heat and moisture. The hats have been well-received by clients and crews alike, becoming a staple of the daily uniform. "As a roofing company, we hold our materials—and our workmanship—to high standards. We expected nothing less from our gear," Sykes stated. "Tiki Island Wear exceeded our expectations."
Pressure Point Roofing, founded in 1989, has grown from a shake-roof restoration service into a comprehensive roofing company serving Southern Oregon, Southern Washington, and Northern California. The company emphasizes trust, craftsmanship, and performance-tested materials, with a mission to provide "peace of mind from the top down."

The brand's products are designed for real-world wear and tear, making them suitable for both personal use and team outfitting. This collaboration highlights the importance of quality gear in demanding work environments and underscores the value of partnerships rooted in shared principles of craftsmanship and reliability.
