Custom Hat Process

If you’re located near Castle Rock, Colorado I recommend scheduling an appointment for a fitting. I will take a precise head measurement to ensure a perfect fit and balance. I will note your headshape, crown height, preferences and brim style to tailor the fit and look to your specifications. This guarantees and one-of-a-kind custom created hat made just for you.

Further away? Read below of how to get a comfortable measurement of your head and I will walk you through the process as we move forward with your custom hat.

Ready to move forward? I currently ask for a non-refundable deposit of $250, due to the nature of a custom product. The final balance is to be paid before shipping it to you.

  • Keeping the tape snug but not tight and level all the way around.
