THE FACE BEHIND SLIMSON HAT CO.

“Your favorite musicians and actors aren’t wearing hats off the rack and neither should you.

My name is Sam Pennington, and I make custom hats. As a guitarist, I draw inspiration from some of my favorite music artists as well as western American culture.

The name “Slimson” started out as simply a nickname, and now it’s become a brand of quality headwear.

If you’re thinking that you don’t look good in hats, you’ve probably never tried on one of our high-quality hats tailored to you.

Let me create a hat that is unique to you.”

THE START of slimson hat co.

“I’ve always been a huge fan of brim hats, but I would have a difficult time finding the exact hat I wanted.

On a family trip to Nashville, I came pretty close to ordering my first custom hat. What changed my mind? Well, not only the starting price, but also the fact that one of the retailers mentioned that I could probably just make my own.

A few Youtube videos (and some trial and error) later, and here I am! My goal was to simply make my own custom hat, but here I am making hats for some pretty cool people including my favorite music artists and talk show hosts.”
