How long does it take to make and receive my hat?

Do you offer small group events or private experiences?
We do not currently offer event experiences. We intentionally keep our process slow, personal and rooted in craftsmanship.

We also offer branded collaboration merchandise, curated gifting collateral, and custom gifting packages tailored specifically to your company or team. Learn more here.

How do I measure my head?
Using a soft measuring tape, wrap it gently around your head where you’d like your hat to rest, typically about ½ inch above your ears and eyebrows and over the largest part of the back of your head.

Hold the tape comfortably snug, not tight. A little movement is good, it should feel natural, not restrictive. Note where the ends meet; if you’re using a string, lay it flat against a ruler afterward. For the most accurate size, measure several times and take the most consistent number, down to the nearest 1/16 inch.

If you fall between sizes, choose the next size up for comfort. Remember that every hatmaker measures a bit differently, so even if you’re referencing an existing hat, it’s always worth remeasuring. The goal is a fit that feels effortless; secure, comfortable, and completely your own.

Do you work on hats that weren’t made by Lucky Cowboy?

Yes, we offer consultations for reshaping, restoration, and custom embellishments for personal, vintage, or non–Lucky Cowboy hats. Each piece is evaluated individually. Because older hats and outside materials vary widely, results can be unpredictable, and there is an inherent risk of damage during the process. By proceeding, clients acknowledge and accept this risk. A $100 minimum service charge applies to all personal or non–Lucky Cowboy hat services.

Is there a minimum charge for hat revisions or restorations?

Yes. All revisions, restorations, or customizations for personal, vintage, or non–Lucky Cowboy hats require a $100 minimum service charge. Final pricing varies based on the scope of work, materials requested, and condition of the hat.

Are deposits transferable or refundable?

Deposits are applied toward a specific hat or service, are non-transferable, and are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. Deposits are non-refundable once the cancellation window has passed.
