Texas Hatters

They fixed my vintage bowler. It was mis shaped, the sweatband and ribbon band were missing. Basically my dog tried to ruin my hat. David made it perfect. Just like new. Better than when I bought it. Thanks Texas Hatters!

You can tell who is leaving THIS FEEDBACK ! This place is high priced and over rated and they DO NOT want to do any work anymore ! The last two visits to their place yielded snubs that left me with the impression that if you aren’t buying a $ 600 hat they don’t have time for you anymore. They don’t want to mess with the customer that needs some sweatbands sewn in some hats or some hats reshaped. So let them DRY UP and BLOW AWAY !!!

What an experience! My wife and I had such a great time getting our hats! From picking out what we wanted to having them shaped by the Master Hatter himself. This is another check mark for our bucket list! Don’t waste your time with a big box store hat… have one made for YOUR HEAD! Being in the store and speaking with David and Joella was such a great experience. They not only make the best quality hats but work in a store with so much history. David even cleaned and re-​sized an old hat I had while we waited for our new hats to set. If you are in need of a quality hat, DO NOT hesitate to visit David and Joella!
Thanks again for the quality service and product! I’m sure we will be back for another style…

I did not know my real hat size until David gave me a fitting. Turns out I’m a 7 ¾ long oval. I knew exactly what I wanted, a perfectly fitting clone of a Resitol my dear departed dad bought be over 30 years ago. The wonderful staff at Allens Boots in Round Rock (far better and nicer than the Austin location) pointed me to Texas Hatters. David made me exactly what I wanted and I could not be happier. Hats come with a lifetime shaping and creasing maintenance warranty. I feel for the quality the price is very fair. I’m confused why folks spend a lot more on store bought factory hats when for less than a high end Stetson you can get the highest quality one of a kind custom hat that is perfectly fitted to your head for less. This is where those that know hats and celebrities come to get Cowboy hats when they are in the Austin area. Their customer list includes Willie Nelson, the late great Stevie Ray Vaughn, Hank Williams Jr and Paul Prudhomme.

They have moved to Lockart! They are on the Luling Hwy between Ausitn and Luling.911 S. Commerce St. It is the home of the 5 star homemade hat that is synonymous with quality. Manny Gammage may be gone, but wife Norma and family are still there carrying on the tradition. They’ve made hats for at least 5 presidents, Waylon, Willie and God knows who else. Want the finest hat ever made? I got mine in 1976 and wore it till it finally fell apart over my ears! I’m gonna order a beaver hat for Christmas. They are the best!!!
