FAQs

How do I order a hat?

Send us a message to get your order started! Please include as much information about your desired hat style, color, and shape. This will help get the conversation started, and we’ll help guide you through the rest.

Once your order is confirmed, a non-refundable 50% deposit is required in order for the hat making process to begin.

How much does a custom hat cost?

A custom hat is priced based on the type of material you choose for your hat and ranges between $525-$675 depending on felt type and weight.

How do I measure my head?

Using a soft measuring tape, measure around your head in the area where you like your hat to sit comfortably. This is about a half an inch above your ears and eyebrows and includes the bump on the back of your head. Please measure twice; not too tight, not too loose. If you don’t have a soft measuring tape, you can apply this same method using a string which can then be laid flat to measure.

If you already have hats that fit the way you love, please include their size and shape on your initial order inquiry.
