Collectable Pins

Types of Collectible Smoking Pins

Not all pins are created equal. Here's a quick breakdown of what you'll find in our collection:

• Enamel Hat Pins: The bread and butter of smoke culture collectibles. Hard enamel pins are durable, color-rich, and built to last through years of wear. Soft enamel offers slightly more texture and depth — both look great on denim, canvas, and snapbacks.
• Logo & Brand Pins: Represent your favorite smoke brands with official logo pins. Dime Bags hat pins are a perennial favorite — clean designs that any head shop regular will recognize instantly.
• Artist Collaboration Pins: Pieces like the Sirron Norris Victorion Hat Pin blur the line between accessory and art. These limited-run designs are worth grabbing now before they're gone.
• Lifestyle & Novelty Pins: Middle fingers, peace signs, cheeky slogans — pins that say exactly what you're thinking without saying a word. The Dime Bags Middle Finger Hat Pin and "Come Back with a Warrant" pin fall squarely in this category.

What Makes a Quality Collectible Pin?

Before you add to cart, here's what separates a pin worth wearing from a throwaway trinket:

• Clutch or Locking Back: Rubber clutches are standard, but locking pin backs keep your piece secure on hats and thick fabrics. Worth it for pins you actually care about.
• Fill Quality: Hard enamel is flush and polished. Soft enamel has recessed areas that catch the light differently. Both are legit — just know which look you prefer.
• Metal Plating: Gold, silver, and black nickel plating each give a completely different vibe. Artist collab pins tend to lean gold or silver for a premium feel.
• Design Clarity: Small pins with tight linework lose detail fast. The best designs in our collection are bold enough to read at a glance.

How to Choose the Right Pins for You

If you're building a pin collection, think about the story you want to tell. A few questions to guide you:

• What are you pinning them to? Hat brims call for smaller, lightweight pins. Jackets and bags can handle larger statement pieces.
• Are you collecting or wearing? Artist collabs like the Sirron Norris piece are worth keeping on a display card if you're treating them as art. Everyday logo pins can take the abuse of daily wear.
• Do you want a cohesive look? Sticking to one brand's pin lineup (all Dime Bags, for example) creates a cleaner aesthetic. Mixing artists and styles creates more of a gallery wall vibe.

Pair your pins with our rolling papers and grinders for a complete kit that covers your whole setup from accessory to sesh.

Top Brands & Artists in Our Pin Collection

Dime Bags dominates our best-sellers list for good reason — their pins carry the same no-nonsense energy as their smell-proof bags and accessories. The Dime Bags Logo Hat Pin, Middle Finger Hat Pin, and "Come Back with a Warrant" Hat Pin are all under $5 each and make easy impulse grabs or gifts.

Sirron Norris is a San Francisco-based illustrator known for bold, mural-scale work that translates beautifully into enamel pin form. The Victorion Hat Pin is one of our most distinctive pieces — recognizable to anyone who knows Mission District art culture.

My Bud Vase™ brings the same elevated aesthetic from their water pipes line into pin form, blending floral and cannabis motifs for something genuinely stylish.

We also carry the Dan Morris Peace Indoor/Outdoor Sticker for those who want the same psychedelic, hand-drawn energy in sticker format rather than metal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are smoking pins or "dab pins"?

"Smoking pins" and "dab pins" both refer to collectible enamel pins with cannabis, smoke culture, or counterculture themes. They're worn on hats, jackets, backpacks, and lanyards as a way to express your lifestyle. The term "dab" here refers to the culture, not the concentrate — though plenty of dabbers collect them too.

Are these pins officially licensed?

Yes — every pin in our collection is sourced directly from the brands and artists themselves. Dime Bags pins are official Dime Bags merchandise. The Sirron Norris pin is an official artist collaboration. You're getting the real thing, not knockoffs.

How do I display or store collectible pins?

Cork boards, velvet display trays, and denim jackets are all classic options. For valuable artist pieces, keep them on their original backing card and store flat in a dry environment to prevent tarnishing. If you're wearing them daily, opt for locking pin backs over standard rubber clutches.

Can I buy pins as gifts?

Absolutely — pins in the $3.50–$20 range make some of the best stocking stuffers and sesh gifts out there. Grab a Dime Bags Middle Finger pin for the friend who says what everyone else is thinking, or the My Bud Vase™ pin for the enthusiast who likes their accessories elevated. Browse our full gifts collection for more ideas.

Do you carry stickers and other smoke accessories?

Yes — beyond pins, we carry stickers, rolling trays, and a wide range of lifestyle accessories. The Dan Morris Peace sticker is right here in this collection, and our broader accessories lineup covers everything from lighters to dab tools.
