Hat Workshop

A display of various hats, including wide-brimmed and fedora styles, arranged on a dark wooden table, small wooden blocks, and a tufted beige ottoman, with a black wall in the background.

Just a small glimpse into the corner of my shop. I am fortunate to work in a shop located at our home just outside of Boise, Idaho and am open by appointment only. Feel free to call me to set up a time to meet for a consultation, to ask questions or to get fitted for your new custom hat.

Most of my vintage hat making equipment was found in boxes in a back room of a closed dry cleaner in Stockton, California that was found by a “picker” who then found me with all these 100-year-old wood hat blocks and other miscellaneous hat making items. (far left photo)

  • I can do custom hat measurements both in person or via video phone chat. I will get your head measurements AND shape. Call me to set up an appointment for either.

  • Turn around mostly depends on if I have the felt in stock. Feel free to call or message me to check approximate wait time and felt stock!

  • Please reach out to me to initiate and schedule a consultation. $200 deposit is required to start a custom hat.
