Description of Business or Organization

We design and make wonderful, practical & functional headwear.

As well as our own brands we do a lot of private label - We've worked with Issey Miyake, Barneys, DKNY, Smith & Hawken, Martha Stewart, Mountain Hardwear among others. We are a small group of craftspeople who embrace traditional as well as modern tools and techniques. It's not easy being an apparel manufacturer!
