Arlington’s BESPOKE

Hat shop

We’re a custom shop nestled in a beautiful 100 year old building. We build hats from scratch for our clients taking into consideration your proportion. Here you will find western hat, bohemian flat brim hat, men’s classic fedoras, & some mid-century silhouettes.

Our hat store is unlike most other hat shops—we are creative, approachable and take great attention to details.

Our staff is available for questions:

Millinery/hat-making is a rather old-world craft to this day. Hat blocks, steamers, sewing machines, and imagination are the fundamental tools.

We make every hat the old-fashioned way— by hand, with quality materials and your style in mind.

We take every step, and then a few extra, to assure you get the best fit and finish.

What to EXPECT from the CUSTOM HAT process:

  • we help you choose which type of hat felt,

  • we help you choose a felt color,

  • we talk through different hat shapes and how they compliment face shapes,

  • we measure your head circumference and use a conformateur to get a head shape.

  • we pick out hat trims using our well stocked hat bar.

  • we discuss a pick up date

  • we collect a 50% deposit

  • we are currently 16 weeks out from deposit to delivery. Please note, we do make exceptions to this wait time when someone needs a hat for a wedding, a special birthday, or a special event. There have been times we have made someone a custom hat in 7 days. We can help you if you ask.

We make bespoke hats using a variety of fur felts and straws.

  • using 100% RABBIT fur, $600+

  • 100% BEAVER fur, $1100+

  • 50%/50% RABBIT/BEAVER fur blends, $850+

  • 100% NUTRIA/COYPU fur, $850+

All fur felts perform differently. We talk through the benefits of each felt with you in person.

To design your own custom hat, make an appointment to collaborate with Jac Cash, our hat maker.
