Behind the Product: The Fedora Hat

Scott Bailey·

Every product tells a story. The fedora hat is no exception — it represents the intersection of timeless style and modern professionalism that defines Efficiency Squared.

Why a Fedora?

The fedora has long been a symbol of sophistication, confidence, and individuality. In a world of hoodies and baseball caps, choosing a fedora says something about how you approach your work: with intention, with style, and with a nod to the classics.

At Efficiency Squared, we believe in bringing that same intentionality to everything we do — from how we teach project management to how we brand ourselves.

The Story Behind the Hat

When we first started thinking about merchandise that would represent our brand, we wanted something that would stand out. Something that would spark conversations. Something that, when someone saw it, they'd immediately think of the E² community.

The fedora checked every box.

More Than Merchandise

Our fedora isn't just a hat — it's a conversation starter. It's a way for our alumni and community members to identify each other at conferences, meetups, and in the wild. It's a small but meaningful symbol of belonging to a community of professionals who take their craft seriously while never taking themselves too seriously.
