Description
Enjoy the experience of having a custom hat made of the highest luxury quality by Louisiana?s premier hat maker, Colby Hébert the Cajun Hatter.
Every hat that leaves The Cajun Hatter has been made by hand, using the same wooden tools and techniques that have defined hatmaking for centuries.
"All four elements are utilized in the creation of our Cajun hats: steam, fire, earth, and air. Desired intentions are written in the sweatbands before they are carefully sewn into place. Vintage ribbons are gathered from antique suitcases and affixed along the crown. Removable bands of alligator skin or Acadian brown cotton are added when requested. Brims can be curled or further embellished with narrow ribbon or fabric for a touch of added elegance. Then there are feathers from native and exotic birds, tokens from Louisiana?s past, and other embellishments that can make a hat truly unique. Beaded bands are strung by hand, distressing is done with verve, and sentimental items handed over for our collaboration are handled with the utmost care and consideration. This is how our custom hats are made, as we slowly materialize personal stories into exceptional conversation starters that can be enjoyed for years to come."
