Blocked & finished by hand
A hat is the last word of an outfit.
Felt fedoras, woven panamas, flat caps and knits — shaped on wooden blocks, trimmed by hand and sized to the centimetre. Forty styles, one fit that is yours.

Hats we reach for
From felt hood to finished hat
Shaped on the block, trimmed by hand
Every felt hat begins as a soft hood, steamed and pulled over a wooden block until the crown takes its shape. We bind the brims, sew the grosgrain, set the leather sweatband and finish each piece by hand. The result holds its line for years — and only gets better with wear.

Get the fit right
Measure once, wear for years
Run a soft tape around your head, just above the ears and across the mid-forehead. That measurement in centimetres is your size. Between two sizes? Take the larger — a sweatband is easier to pad than to stretch.
