Quaker Marine Supply (QMS) is a brand immersed in the courage and joy of life on the water. Founded in Philadelphia in 1949 by Coast Guard veteran Joe Kadison, QMS has long served those who love the sea. The company began as a clothier specializing in marine hardware and apparel. Starting in the 1960s, QMS became known for its long-brimmed hats, particularly the Swordfish and Oysterman styles with their patent leather brims. These iconic canvas hats, designed to withstand harsh weather, prioritized function while crafting an impeccable look.
