Custom hats

Made for your story.

Some hats complete an outfit. Others become part of who you are.

A custom hat from The Hat Lab begins with you—your style, your story, the way you want to feel when you put it on, and the moments you imagine wearing it for years to come.

Perhaps you are celebrating a milestone. Creating something for your wedding. Replacing a hat you once loved. Designing a piece that will eventually be passed down. Or perhaps you have spent years looking for a hat that feels unmistakably yours.

That is where we begin.

The commission

How a custom hat is made

  • Starting at $500

    Priced to the design, materials, and handwork involved. Every commission is quoted individually after consultation.

    We discuss proportion, block, brim, finish, ribbon, and how you intend to wear it.

  • Materials

    Wool felt, rabbit felt, hare felt, beaver felt, and premium blends.

  • 50% deposit

    A deposit secures your place in the bench schedule and covers material sourcing.

    The balance is settled once your hat is complete and approved.

  • Approximately 3–4 weeks

    Complimentary shipping of the completed hat.

You do not choose a hat from a shelf. We create the one that belongs to you—and may one day belong to the generation after you.
