Are you ready to trade the casual brim for something with more "gravitas." ?

Moving away from the baseball cap is a classic rite of passage that instantly elevates a man's silhouette.
Here is a breakdown of the transition styles for men looking to upgrade their headwear:

The Flat Cap:
The ultimate "dad" upgrade.

The Fedora:
The most versatile classic.

The Statement Pieces
The Cowboy / Western:
Rugged, masculine and adventurous

The Homburg:
The "Godfather" hat. Very formal.
Features a stiff brim with an upturned "gutter" edge.

I can tell you exactly which hat will frame your face best

Since all our hats are 100% handmade, you will get a hat that is taylored to your features.

Last but not least you will be surprised that the cost of a 100% leather, handmade hat is more affordable and sustainable than you think.

Just finished making this hat, 100% handwork
The ultimate #14 flatcap hat.
Only a few will know what this means.
Last year I sold one at the markets to a Dutch tourist from my old neighbourhood.
That person now understands the significance of this hat this year.
