Individual bespoke manufacturing – a hat made exactly to your wishes

A hat made to measure is a unique expression of your individuality.

It is crafted 100% for you (or him) – in size, shape, style, color, and finish. When you have a hat made by us, you're not just getting a beautiful accessory – you're getting a one-of-a-kind piece that perfectly reflects your personality.

Let the world see who you are. There are countless occasions and reasons for wearing a custom hat: from a glamorous event to a stylish everyday look – your made-to-measure hat is more than just a finishing touch. It’s a statement, a head-turner, and a must-have you'll never want to take off.

You might be attending your best friend’s wedding, a gala, or even the horse races at Ascot – and are searching for the perfect piece to crown your outfit. Or perhaps you’re preparing for your own wedding and envision a truly exclusive headpiece for your love look – maybe a classic top hat tailored precisely to your head shape and size.

But a custom-made hat isn’t just for glamorous events. The hat you have made with us can become your signature piece – something that speaks to your personal style every day.
Unlike off-the-rack hats, a hat made to measure fits like no other. No matter your head shape or size, it will sit just right – and feel just right.

There are also practical reasons for a custom-made headpiece:
You might be looking for comfortable, stylish coverage due to hair loss caused by Alopecia Areata or chemotherapy. Or perhaps your religious beliefs require full head coverage – and you want something that looks beautiful and feels effortless to wear.

Whatever your reason, we offer personal guidance and expert craftsmanship to create a hat that is uniquely yours – with a love for detail and the highest level of artisanal quality.

Individual bespoke manufacturing – the route to your dream hat

We look forward to welcoming you to our studio at the start of the planning for your individual bespoke hat.

You will find a wide selection of hats, caps, fascinators and headpieces in our showroom in Türkenstrasse that will give you an idea as to how your new hat could look.

Let yourself be inspired; try on different models in an unhurried atmosphere and find out which item feels right for you.

We are happy to provide advice in the process.

Should I make an appointment for my first visit?

For us, it is very important to be able to provide comprehensive and indivual advice. For this reason we recommend making an appointment in advance by phone or e-mail – especially if you would like Ms. Marquardt to advise you personally or you would like to visit on a Saturday.
But, of course, you are always very welcome to drop in at any time, even without an appointment.

We look forward to your visit.

Should I bring my outfit with me for the first appointment?

If you are looking for a matching headpiece for a specific outfit and you already have this in your wardrobe, please bring it with you on your first visit.

We have a spacious changing room for this purpose so that can see the overall look when you try on our hats. In our experience, this is the easiest way to find a matching hat or headpiece to suit your style. But even if you do not already have an outfit, there are several other possibilities that may help: fabric samples, pictures or sketches of your wardrobe are very helpful when creating the appropriate hat for your requirements.

Or else pick out the perfect headpiece first! Then you are completely free to choose a truly unconventional look.

What happens after the first appointment?

Once we have designed your perfect hat, have discussed materials and colours and taken your measurements, production begins. You have the possibility of having a completely new hat made to your requirements or of modifying a model from our collection or a couture hat so that it is exactly what you want.

We will discuss the production process with you and make fitting appointments, as necessary, on your first visit to us.

How long does it take for a hat to be made?

Please plan around 6–12 weeks. Depending on the waiting list, the production time may be shorter or longer. We do, however, offer an express service for very urgently required made-to-measure hats.

What does it cost to have a hat made to measure?

The cost of an individually made item depends on the material chosen, the production techniques required and the time involved. Generally speaking, we can give you an estimate on your first visit. In the case of a model from our collection, made to measure for you, without any further changes, we charge a 10% surcharge for bespoke fitting.
