Watson's Hat Shop Watson’s Hat Shop

Inspired by the fedora worn by Indiana Jones, Eric Watson began his quest to learn the art of hat making by restoring fine vintage hats when he was 12 years old. After graduating from college with a degree in Aviation Technology and International Studies, Eric completed his commercial pilot training, and during flight training met his wife Emily. Later, during his hat equipment searches he was able to have some well seasoned hatters share their knowledge and hatter’s equipment.

Back then people took pride in what they wore, because it was tailor made by a master craftsman. Watson hats are made with pride and will last a lifetime when worn properly. At Watson’s Hat Shop you will enjoy the natural luster and signature finishes that make their hats functional works of art.

Watson’s Hat Shop offers some of the finest pure beaver fur felt hats.  Hats are made from the finest Panama hat bodies (hand woven in Ecuador). You can choose from up to 29 different colors, 80 different types of ribbon in various widths, custom leather hat bands, braided horse hair hat bands, custom silver and gold hat bands with your choice of gem stones, braided kangaroo hat bands, and custom silver hat band buckle sets.

Watson’s Hat Shop can even customize the hat band with your ranch logo, racing logo, or a special design.

Watson’s was the official hat maker for the Netflix original series Godless.
