Move over, Ben & Jerry!

Welcome to the greatest collaboration of all time. Two companies, one glorious country. In celebration of Bollman Hat Company’s 150th anniversary (yes, you read that right), the two greatest hat companies of all time, American Hat Makers and Bollman Hat Company, have partnered up to release some never before seen, yet timeless hat styles to commemorate both of their long and successful histories. Combined, this endeavor brings two hundred years of hat-making expertise to the table. These breathtaking new hats are brought forth by the top designers from both of our companies. These hats are made in extremely small batches, one at a time, by the finest American artisans, so please allow 4-6 weeks for your hat to be crafted. The Small Batch Collection is now available for only a short while, and can be found here! Each hat is going to be sold for $300  and comes with a USA made Hammer Plastics Hat Carrier, complete with lockable latches and a built-in mirror.

Fine Art in a Bohemian Setting!

Ruby Roxanne constantly raises the bar for what defines an artisan designer. There’s hardly a more inspired, driven, and talented designer out there. We here at American Hat Makers are always so excited to see what her next evolving hat collection will be. Ruby was invited to be a part of a groundbreaking event at the SOMArts Cultural Center in San Francisco on Saturday, May 4th. The first ever San Francisco International Art Salon  is going to feature over 80 international artists, musicians, fashion designers, photographers, models and performers to create this magical event. In their own words, the goal of this event is to bring you an unforgettable artistic, spiritual experience and to repair the broken bridge between the creatives and the patronage. I could go down the list of the night’s highlights but it would take hours, however I will mention that there will be a magnificent fashion show produced by Pivot. Bottom line, you don’t want to miss out. As for our girl Ruby, she will be displaying her iconic leather mermaid wearable art piece for only the 3rd time ever publicly. However, this time, the outfit will have a jaw dropping twist. Ruby’s goal with the outfit is to promote Clean Oceans Matter, which is very close to Ruby’s heart. Maintaining and expanding knowledge of this environmental emergency for our marine life is very important to Ruby. Don’t miss out on your chance to attend this once in a lifetime event and support local artists and designers along with the many international icons!

Jousting with Cavaliers!

We recently partnered with Mcgrew Studios in downtown Salt Lake City to help out with some outfits being designed for the DGY Jousting team at Young Living Farm in Mona, Utah! Mcgrew Studios specializes in unique and in-depth costume design, and they were commissioned to make full jousting suits not just for the riders, but for the horses too! Our Cavalier hats were a perfect accessory to go with the outfit, and we were beyond excited when Mcgrew Studios reached out to work with us. We wanted to give a quick shout-out not only to the masterful Mcgrew Studios, but also the talented young riders of the DGY Jousting Team!

Check out Chapel Hats! You won’t regret it!

Chapel Hats is one of many fantastic companies we have the absolute pleasure of partnering with, and recently they sent in some pictures of their beautiful locations and the great way they showcase our hats! American Hat Makers is honored to be displayed in the 16 unique Chapel Hats stores, which are located all over the world. They pride themselves on working with architectural salvage companies in order to use materials such as reclaimed wood and iron to build their shelving, cash wrap stations, tables, and more! No Chapel Hats store will look alike. Interestingly, their first location was primarily built using salvaged wood from a vintage church, which gives them the perfect name!  All of their locations also prominently feature antiques in their displays like hat boxes, old radios, phonographs and tons of other interesting pieces to showcase all of the styles they carry. The team at Chapel Hats is always such pleasure to work with, and the energy they have at each of their wonderful locations means that you will always have a remarkable experience when you visit. Check out all of the awesome ways they display our hats below! CaptureCapture2Capture3Capture4Capture5Capture6Capture7Capture8Capture9Capture10Capture11Capture12Capture13Capture14Capture15Capture16Capture17
