Our dedication to using beautiful & quality materials
Built from the Best
From Cashmere to Raffia, from Nappa Leather to handwoven Genuine Panama Straw, every material we choose is selected not just for its beauty, but for the way it performs and endures. Each carries a story of heritage and tradition, rooted in the finest mills, workshops, and weaving communities in the world. These fibers are more than raw materials. They are living connections to places, people, and time honored skills, transformed by master manufacturers into fabrics of rare character and superior quality.
Fall & Winter Materials
Spring & Summer Materials
By investing in materials that honor tradition and performance, we ensure that each hat delivers not just style, but enduring comfort and craftsmanship you can rely on. They are breathable when the days are warm, insulating when the nights are cold, and resilient enough to last season after season. High quality fibers hold their shape, colors stay true, and textures only grow richer with time.
Shaped by Human Hands
Our collections are shaped in small, family-run workshops where hat making has been passed down and refined over generations. These aren’t faceless factories, they’re places where skill, patience, and pride are stitched into every piece. To bring our ideas to life and make hats of true quality, we partner with the people who have been leading for decades, the same very artisans trusted by the world’s top fashion houses and luxury retailers, and have them do what they do best: create exceptional hats.
From Italy’s historic millinery towns, to Ecuador’s Panama weavers, to America’s heritage workshops, each partner brings its own story and expertise. What unites them is a devotion to quality and a belief that true craftsmanship is worth preserving. Over time, these partnerships have grown into friendships, built on trust, respect, and shared passion. The result is a collection of hats that are more than accessories - they’re living connections to families, communities, and generations of dedication, made to bring authentic luxury into everyday life.
Exclusively Made in Partnership
Exclusively Made in Partnership
Every hat we create starts with an idea from our team about what our customers might want to wear next. They come to life in workshops across Italy, Ecuador, and the United States, where we sit at tables with master craftsmen who have been shaping hats for generations. Together we walk the workshop floors, running our hands over fabrics, reviewing crown shapes, trying on brims, and asking ourselves: how can we make this both beautiful and practical? It’s a process that mixes our design vision with their deep expertise, refined through countless conversations until the details feel just right.
The hats that reach our stores are the product of that collaboration, ideas born in our office, tested in their workshops, and shaped by the feedback we hear from our customers. Where thoughtful design meets effortless wearability, creating hats that you’ll only find here.
Streamlined Over Inflated
Most luxury hats carry inflated pricing. Layers of sales reps, distributors, and middlemen, adding to the cost. We take a different approach: streamlined pricing. By working directly with the same family run workshops trusted by the world’s top luxury houses, we cut away the unnecessary layers and keep the focus where it belongs, on superior materials, skilled craftsmanship, and thoughtful design. The result is the same exceptional quality you’d expect from luxury brands, but at a price that feels fair, honest, and attainable.
Pick up one of our hats and you’ll notice it right away, the softness of Italian cashmere, the light weight of linen, the resilience of raffia, the all weather performance of merino wool. These aren’t just similar to the fibers used by luxury labels; they’re the very same materials, often made in the same workshops, by the same hands. The only difference? While others add inflated markups, we choose to streamline. That’s why every hat we offer delivers not just timeless style and craftsmanship, but true value you can feel the moment you put it on.
Crafted from the finest materials and shaped by master hands, this collection blends timeless design with pricing that reflects true value.

Hat trends for summer include wide brim beach hats, linen caps, buckets and trilby hats, lightweight straws such as raffia, seagrass, panama and hemp, unsolid prints, and hand painted designs.
When choosing a hat style consider crown height and brim length. A classic fedora or safari brimmed hat are pretty standard. If you are looking for a smaller brim you may like the pork pie or trilby styles. Think about what style you will likely feel comfortable wearing and work with your wardrobe. If you want an easy to wear style a flat cap, newsboy, baseball cap, or bucket may do the trick.
Measure your head by using a flexible tape measure, or a string and ruler. Measure from the back of your head bringing the ends together at the center of your forehead right above your eyebrows. Use the hat size chart to determine your size, rounding to the nearest eighth of an inch as necessary.
Belfry Italia Zacheo and Belfry Italia Bartolo are both waterproof merino wool felt.
