WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN ORDERING A CUSTOM HAT
STAGES OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS:
CHAT & DESIGN - It all begins with a phone call or free in-person consultation. We talk about your ideas, style, and fit, then create a design plan just for you. This stage also includes selecting the material (beaver, beaver/rabbit blend, nutria, or rabbit) and then subsequently the color. Not sure where to start? I’ll guide you with options that match your style and purpose.
CRAFTING YOUR HAT - I hand-make your hat using quality materials and traditional techniques. Along the way, I will be sharing progress photos and collaborating with you on the specifics such as brim shape, crown shape, hat band design, and any additional details to ensure you get the exact hat you want.
FINAL TOUCHES - Before shipping your hat gets final shaping, steam, and quality check. Every stitch and detail is inspected so it arrives ready to wear, one-of-a-kind, and made to last.
DELIVERY DAY - Your hat will be carefully packaged and shipped to your door. When you open the box, you’ll see and feel the difference of a truly custom piece.
PRICING A CUSTOM HAT
A custom hat isn’t just something you wear, it’s something you keep. Most hats range from $500 to $1,200 with final pricing based on your chosen materials and details. I’ll walk you through all of the options so you know exactly what your investment will be before we start.
TURNAROUND TIME
Good things take time, and your hat is no exception. From the moment we lock in your design, expect about 6 to 12 weeks for me to bring it to life. Sometimes certain colors are out of stock and it requires additional wait time. Need it sooner for an event? Just ask, I’ll see what I can do.
