All our hats are also extremely resistant to water. Our hats are held to the strictest quality standards and guaranteed to last a lifetime.

      • Handmade in the USA. - Handmade with love right here in the good ol' USA. We're proud to provide employment to over 35 hard working, blue collar Americans. And because each hat is handmade, they're truly one of a kind, and thoroughly inspected for quality.

      • Hat will hold its shape. - They are guaranteed to hold their shape, and will not stretch/shrink with everyday wear. Please do not mistreat our hats, however, by leaving them locked in a car on a 90° summer day. But, even in that worst case scenario, the hat shape can be restored by resting it on a coffee can.

    This Hat Tells A Story

    This is my most recent hat purchase from y’all. It’s currently hat number 5. Every time I wear it people say…. Chrome, that hat has its own story. I love it, as I do all of my Top Hats.

    Number 6 is in the sites.
