Original essays on hatmaking history, materials, construction, and style, written from the hatter’s perspective.

Here you will find our blog, with original articles and essays on a variety of topics, including historical and modern hat crafting techniques, discussions about the state of the art, materials and style reviews, opinions and many others. While the articles are written with a focus that may appeal to both hat makers and hat aficionados, we believe that they are also very relevant for anyone interested in wearing and collecting hats, and to those involved in adjacent crafts.

All the content, opinions, errors, omissions, bad jokes, and em dashes come from human intelligence, and not from any artificial agents (the ones we mistakenly call “AI agents”). The articles written here are checked, edited, and re-checked by the hatter himself, and are the product of someone who likes to craft and wear fine dress hats.
