The Man Behind the Hats

A lifelong love of Western hats, turned into a one-man labor of love.

I was born and raised in California's remote High Sierra — the backdrop for hundreds of Western films and TV shows. My folks ran a popular restaurant in Lone Pine and knew the stars of that era, from John Wayne to Roy Rogers. I grew up immersed in it, and fell hard for two things: the guns and the hats.

The name comes from two things I dearly love — baseball (ball covers were once made of horsehide) and Henry firearms, a company whose craftsmanship and the way they treat people set the bar. Both stand for quality and integrity. So does this business.

Personal attention and integrity are my hallmarks. I've made just about every hat I've ever wanted — now I'd like to do the same for you.

What I Do

Services

Custom-order hats, honest restoration, and a few samples so you can see and feel the quality before you buy.

Custom Shaping

New hats shaped to order — your crown, your brim, your felt. Cowboy, fedora, or a hybrid of both. I'll shape a hat you already own, too.
