The House of SMH

Every SMH Brim Co hat begins as raw felt and ends as a one-of-one, shaped, distressed and finished by hand.

SMH Brim Co is the new sister brand of SMH Atelier. In a private consultation you choose everything: the felt, the shape of the crown and brim, the band, and the finishing details that make it yours.

Questions

Hat FAQs

How long does a custom hat take?

Most hats are ready 3–5 weeks after your consultation.

What happens at a hat consultation?

Your consultation is free, private and takes 30–45 minutes at the Atelier. Bring a photo of a hat you love and we can make it for you, or create a custom design together with Sean. You are welcome to bring the outfit you plan to wear it with. Together you choose the felt, shape, band and details.

How do you get my hat size?

We can make a hat for any head size and shape. At your consultation we measure the circumference of your head, then use special hatter’s tools to capture its exact size and shape.

Is a deposit required?

Yes. A 50% deposit is due before your hat is made. Like all custom orders at SMH Atelier, custom hats cannot be refunded or exchanged.

Can I bring my own fabric or materials?

Yes. You are welcome to bring your own fabric or materials to use on your hat.

Do you make hats for women?

Yes. SMH Brim Co makes custom hats for both men and women.

Can I give a custom hat as a gift?

Yes. Purchase an SMH Atelier gift card toward a custom hat. The person receiving it will still come in for a consultation to be measured and design their hat.

Do you ship hats?

Not yet. Hats are picked up at the Atelier in the Kansas City Metro. Nationwide shipping is coming soon.

Can I match my hat to my suit?

Yes. Design your hat alongside a custom suit from SMH Atelier.
