NEARLY A CENTURY OF EXPERIENCE
Dorfman Milano was founded in 1921 with the concept that retailers would support a headwear business offering quality products backed by a commitment to strong service. Dorfman Milano is successful because of its adherence to this philosophy. Today our mission statement is to provide unsurpassed service and strong brands with a long term commitment to our customers.
HEADWEAR INDUSTRY LEADER SINCE 1921
One hundred years ago, Jack Dorfman and Arthur Hyman started a company in Oakland, California that would eventually become one of the premier headwear companies in the United States, Dorfman Milano Co. Arthur Hyman sold hats and Jack Dorfman manufactured them. From those humble beginnings Dorfman Milano has grown to be the headwear industry leader.
