RAND'S CUSTOM HATS

The Rand family has been making fine quality custom hats in Billings, Montana, for 30 years. They started as a very small custom hat business catering to local cowboys and cowgirls. Since that time, they have grown to be the most respected name in custom-made hats. While they don’t work by the light of an oil lamp, much of the work that goes into creating today’s Rand’s Custom Hat is the same painstaking hand-crafted labor that hat makers used 150 years ago. Rand’s hats are custom made by one person from start to finish. This means your hat is hand made, hand sanded and hand finished. Their hatters take pride in creating your hat to meet your exact specifications.
