The workroom list

Made for your head.
Kept for your days.

Example prices include the fitting, a standard ribbon, and a final fit check for new hats. We confirm the design and full price before work begins.

Made-to-measure felt

A wool felt hat with a shaped crown, cut brim, inner band, and ribbon. Allow 4–6 weeks after the fitting and design agreement.

From $285

Made-to-measure straw

A woven straw hat shaped to your measurements, with a finished edge and ribbon. Allow 4–6 weeks; available by request year-round.

From $245

Reblocking

Reshaping a suitable existing felt or straw hat on a wooden form. Includes a light brush clean and fit check. Usually 2–3 weeks after assessment.

$75–$120

Ribbon replacement

A simple new ribbon fitted to an existing hat. Any inner band or edge repair is priced separately after a look.

From $35

Gift certificate

A paper certificate toward a hat or workroom service. Choose an amount of $50 or more; the recipient books their fitting separately.

From $50

Can this hat be shaped again?

Bring it in before deciding. We look for cracks, thinning, brittle straw, and weak seams. Some hats can be refreshed but cannot take a large change in size or shape. If reblocking would put the material at risk, we explain that before taking on the work.

Reblocking does not include stain removal or a new inner band. We agree on any additional work and its price first.

Winter felt & everyday care

A few habits that help.

Lift by the brim

Use both hands at the sides of the brim. Repeatedly pinching the front of the crown can weaken the felt.

Brush gently

Use a soft hat brush to lift surface dust. Avoid scrubbing a mark or soaking it; bring stubborn spots to the fitting so we can discuss the material.

Air-dry felt

Keep a damp hat away from radiators, hair dryers, and direct heat. Let it air-dry on a support or its crown. Felt is not a substitute for a rain hat.

Store with room

Keep the brim free of heavy things in a dry box with space around it. Keep straw out of damp storage and hot cars; do not fold it unless it was made to fold.

The December gift deadline

Request a paper certificate by December 18, 2026, at 5pm. We agree on a studio pickup time by December 22 at noon. No postal delivery is offered for this holiday window.

A certificate is a good choice when the fitting is still to come. New hats take 4–6 weeks after the design and fit are agreed; November requests are not a promise of Christmas completion.

Before your fitting

Do I need to know my hat size?

No. We measure at the fitting and try several shapes. Tell us how you usually wear your hair and whether you like a close or easy fit.

Can you make an old hat much larger?

Only within what the material allows. We check the felt or straw, stitching, and inner band first. A small adjustment may be possible; we do not promise a new size before examining the hat.

A shape worth trying on.

Tell us whether you are thinking of felt, straw, or an old favorite.
