Custom Hats
Rugged craftsmanship, a playful twist, and something that's 100% YOU. Pick your material, and we'll take it from there.
"I don't know what I want to do!"
"I don't look good in hats!"
We hear this all the time, and we get it! Buying a hat is not something you do every day, and it might be just a little intimidating. EVERYONE looks good in a hat, you just haven't found the right one yet, and we're here to help you! From choosing material, to deciding styles and shapes, brim length and decorating, we'll keep working with you towards making your hat uniquely YOU!
Choose your Material
Hats can be made with all kinds of materials. The most common types, and the ones we carry, are Fur Felt, Wool Felt, Straw, and Palm. Each material has its pros and cons, so you really can't go wrong.
Choose a material that will suit your need. If you're looking for that high-end, heirloom hat, go with fur felt. Looking for something to wear while mowing the lawn in the summer? Straw or palm may be your jimmy-jam. Like the fur felt look, but want something more economical? Wool felt is the way to go. This is also where you pick the color of hat you want.
Remember, this isn't going to be your LAST HAT! This is just a starting place to start your collection.

Start My HatFelt, Wool, Straw & Palm — Know Your Hat
Not sure what your hat should be made of? Here's the breakdown, straight from us.
Fur Felt
Fur felt hats are typically made from a blend of animal fur, with beaver being the highest quality. Our felt hats are varying blends of beaver and hare fur that is rolled together to make a tightly bonded material, then formed into an "open crown" that can then be shaped by us into the hat you want. They are generally more weather resistant than wool, but they aren't umbrellas! We also have some pre-shaped hats that are formed by machines — we can take those and fit them to your head and make minor adjustments to suit your style! Fur felt hats are softer to the touch.

Wool Felt
Wool hats are exactly like fur felt hats, just using a blend of wool instead of fur. The hats are warm, firm and shapable just like the fur felt, but at a more economical price point. "So what's the drawback?" Great question! Fur hats tend to be more weather resistant than wool, meaning they hold their shape better in weather, and they shrink less than felt when drying. Wool felt hats will behave like, well, WOOL! They don't like getting wet and will shrink if they do. These are also not as soft to the touch, but they look good! These are great for those who just need a hat for rodeos, concerts, and nights out on the town!

Straw & Palm Hats
Straw and palm hats are your summer answer! Just because the weather starts getting a bit too warm for fur and wool doesn't mean you can't be styling! Whether you're BBQ'n, floating on the water, mowing the lawn, or sitting around the camp fire, straw and palm hats are a little lighter, a lot cooler, and 100% awesome! We'll be honest, they are a little more difficult to customize and a little less forgiving in hiding creases, but that ain't gonna stop us from getting you into the style you want! Plus, creases are like hat scars, and chicks dig scars...right?
