Made in the Mesas
Located in the vast beauty of Northern New Mexico, Cates Hat Company takes pride in making custom hats from the finest furs. Handcrafted with precision and artistry, we're proud to offer quality hats that endure the demands of western lifestyle.
One-by-One
Our hats are truly custom made to order using the same techniques and equipment you'd have found in a shop a hundred years ago. The nostalgic aspects of being a hatter makes us long for the past.
A self-felt hat band with a buckle set is a popular request from our customers.
Every Cates hat is truly handmade. Each sweatband is made from soft roan leather and handsewn into place.
We know your hat is far more than style. It's part of your identity. We crease each one to match your character.
