TWO WAYS TO GET A ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAT

Choose Your Hat

Shop a finished hat that's ready now, or have one made specifically for you.

Not sure which is right for you? Ready-Made is best when you want a finished hat now. Custom gives you complete control over fit and specifications.

MADE HERE, ONE AT A TIME

Handmade in Bozeman

A Rocky Mountain hat doesn’t arrive at our shop finished.

We start with a raw fur felt body. From there, each hat is blocked, sanded, fitted with a sweatband, flanged, shaped and finished by hand in our Bozeman workshop.

Many of the tools and techniques we use belong to an earlier era of hatmaking—not because they’re old-fashioned, but because they still produce the kind of hat we want to make.

FUR FELT MATERIALS

Choose the Felt That Fits How You’ll Wear It

Every Rocky Mountain hat starts with fur felt. The material you choose changes the feel, durability, weather resistance and price of the finished hat.

LIGHT & REFINED

Rabbit Fur Felt

Lightweight, comfortable and refined. Rabbit felt is an excellent entry into a handmade fur-felt hat and works especially well when you want a softer, lighter feel.

Best for: lighter wear, dress hats and value
TRADITIONAL PREMIUM

100% Beaver

Our traditional premium felt. Beaver is prized for its resilience, ability to hold shape, weather resistance and longevity, while developing a distinctive feel with years of wear.

Best for: maximum longevity, resilience and premium feel
Not sure which felt to choose? For a custom hat, we’ll help you choose based on how often you wear it, the conditions you wear it in and the feel you prefer.
THREE GENERATIONS OF HATMAKING

A Montana Hat Shop Since 1990

Rocky Mountain Hat Company began in 1990 when John Morris Sr. left a career in physics and started making hats for the working cowboys around him.

His son, John Morris Jr., joined him, and together they spent decades refining the craft, fitting customers and building hats one at a time in Montana.

Today, a third generation of the Morris family is carrying that work forward.

The shop has changed over the years.
The standard hasn’t.
