Your Hat Tells Your Story

    Nora

    Owner, Hatter

    As a child… Just kidding, I never dreamed of making hats, I dreamed of becoming an English teacher, and, for the most part of my working life, I did technical translations. Now, I’m a hatter. And I translate stories into hats.

    Owner, Photographer

    A long time lover of art (paintings, books, music), I'm working hard to make the transition from "jack-of-all-trades" to "master of one"

    Feathers Supplier

    Injured and unable to fly, my "parents" saved me from certain death. They didn't know I was a boy, hence my girly name. Now, I live a carefree life and, by moulting easy-to-paint white feathers, I've become a valuable member of the team.

Frequently asked questions

Materials used

All our hats are made of HIGH QUALITY WOOL, in a wide variety of colors (over 50).

The REEDED SWEATBANDS are made of fine Italian leather, with perforations to ensure a better airflow. They come in shades of brown, red, yellow, green, black, and white.

The hats are tailored with SATIN LINING, available in shades of yellow, orange, red, purple, blue, green, black, and white.

For the classic HATBAND, we use Petersham Grosgrain Ribbon, also available in shades of yellow, orange, red, purple, blue, green, black, and white.

The process

BLOCKING - Our hats are made by traditional wet blocking techniques on wooden blocks. They come in 12 sizes and 3 oval shapes: round, intermediate (most common) and long oval.
TREATMENT - After drying, the hat is ironed to obtain a surface as smooth as possible and hardened with a stiffener prepared by ourselves.
SHAPING - All hats are shaped by hand, in the style and size required by the customer.
FINISHING - The sweatband is sewn entirely by hand, with extra care and attention to details.
PACKAGING - In addition to the outer packaging, the hat is also packed in a luxury hard box (which can be used to transport and store the hat if not in use for long periods of time), provided with a separator supporting the brim and hat care instructions

Sizing details

To determine your HEAD SIZE, you need a flexible measuring tape.
The measuring tape must be placed across 3 crucial areas:
– above the eyebrows (about 1-2 fingers)
– above the ears (about 1-2 fingers)
– on the most prominent area of the back of your head
Basically, you need to measure your head exactly where the hat will sit.
If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the larger size.

Although the size is the right one, the hat can be uncomfortable due to the shape of the head.
To determine the oval shape of the head, 2 measurements are needed:
A = distance from one ear to another
B = distance from the forehead to the back of the head
Round = A approx. equal to B
Intermediate = A slightly smaller than B
Long = A much smaller than B

Custom and personalized orders

Keep in mind that the key to finding the right hat is to consider what works with the proportions of your face. We offer a wide range of styles, colors and sizes:
Style – western/caps/classic
Color – > 50 colors
Crown – higher to lower, different styles
Brim – short to wide, flat/curled/upturned, raw edges/stitched/binding
Hatband and brim binding - Petersham Grosgrain, leather, cloth
Lining – silk/satin
Sweatband - fine italian leather (reeded&perforated)
Accessories – beads, leather, feathers, cloth, pins, paint, buttons, your own
NO ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR ANY OF THESE INDIVIDUAL OPTIONS, except for customization with precious metals or very expensive materials.
Don’t hesitate to contact us for any additional questions or information.

Care instructions

– Never leave your hat in your hot car. Heat and sunlight can dry out, fade and shrink your hat.

– Do not hang your hat on a hook for long periods because it can change its shape.

– Store the hat (preferably in a box) in a cool, dry place, as both heat and moisture can damage your hat. Use moth repellent, if necessary.

– Allow wet hats to dry naturally; artificial heat from a hair dryer or heater can distort or shrink the hat. Place the hat on its brim on a towel to avoid creating flat spots on the crown. Shape the hat to its proper form; a wet hat will dry in the shape you leave it in.

– Handle your hat by the brim (with both hands), not the crown.

Gift wrapping and packaging

In addition to the outer packaging, the hat is also packed in a luxury hard box (which can be used to transport and store the hat if not in use for long periods of time), provided with a separator supporting the brim.

How long does it take to make a hat

The manufacturing process lasts about 2-4 weeks, considering that each hat is made by hand, from the raw material to the finished product, and depending on few other factors: weather (for example, the drying process takes longer if there is high humidity outside), the materials needed for the chosen design, stocks or other factors independent of our will.

Delivery

Depending on the country where the shipment is going, it will take up to 2 weeks for it to be delivered.

All orders are shipped fast and safe with express delivery via UPS.

However, given the current context (COVID-19), this deadline may be extended, regardless of our will.

Worldwide delivery is FREE.
