Whether you prefer a cowboy hat, a wide-brim beauty, or a laid-back straw style, we believe every hat deserves a little magic. Vintage brooches, feather parties, tiny pins and charms, bold brands, surprise stitches, big buckles, and hatbands galore can be added to any new hat or even the one you already adore. Let’s turn your topper into something totally, wonderfully you.
Some of The Magic to Expect
VINTAGE FLAIR
We believe old things are beautiful. From antique brooches and stick pins to discarded feathers reimagined with paint or a bullet casing, we love to layer stories on hats with vintage pieces we find at flea markets or collected by American makers.
HATBANDS
Every design starts with a strong foundation. For a hat, the hatband is that starting point. The hatband helps set the mood and hold the rest of your decor in place. Fabric, leather, feathers, bling — we make hatbands out of almost anything. Layering bands gives a hat color and texture.
HAT ACCESSORIES
We like to call all the pretty things we put on our hats charcuterie. When you come in for a hat styling appointment, you’ll start by building a charcuterie board around whatever speaks to you. A vintage brooch, tiny charm, money clip, matchbook, playing card, souvenir spoon — there’s really nothing we won’t put on a hat — can come together to tell your hat’s story.
FEATHERS
There’s no party like a feather party! From downy puffs to stately plumes, feathers are a must. They can be cut, twisted, groomed, roughed up, painted, or dyed. A single feather becomes a cool focal point, while a bundle amps up the drama. Feathers add movement, texture, and a touch of the untamed — no two are ever the same.
BRANDING
Fire, meet flair! Rooted in ranch tradition, a brand is a symbol of identity and pride — whether it’s a tribute to your heritage or something that makes your heart sing. Designing your custom cowboy or cowgirl hat at The Original Hat Bar is the perfect time to make your mark (and snap a smoky video while you're at it). We also brand leather goods and cowboy boots. Bring yours in, and let us make them extra special.
STITCHING
Hand-stitching with embroidery floss adds a playful pop of texture and charm — like a wink woven right into your hat. Pick a thread color and choose from five exclusive Original Hat Bar designs. Your stylist will help you find the perfect spot on the crown or brim for a hat flex that’s vintage, crafty, and oh so cute!
TOASTING
Toasting a hat — yes, like a marshmallow! — gives it that dreamy, trail-dusted charm that would otherwise take eons to earn. If you want to fast-forward your hat’s story and give it a well-loved look, toasting is an easy way to mimic a hundred happy journeys together.
SHAPING
With a little steam and the hand of a skilled stylist, we can shape your wool-felt hat to perfection. A slightly upturned brim lends a flirty feel. A downward tilt gives a moodier vibe. And some cowboys and cowgirls like their cattleman hats with brims so deeply curled they’re like handles. Tell us what you’re thinking, and let’s play!
