CITY GUIDE
TUCSON This guide is a celebration of the people behind exceptional local businesses in Southern Arizona—the entrepreneurs, makers, artisans, and philanthropists who have pursued their passions and share a commitment to our community.
It is an immense privilege to highlight the excellence happening within our growing community of 'Scouted' local businesses. Of course, I haven't done this alone —far from it. There is a talented local creative team behind every social post, online editorial article, and photograph in this guide.
Thank you for supporting our TSG community by using this guide, and when you connect with these businesses, be sure to tell them The Scout Guide sent you!
Live. Love. Local.

At our studio in Tucson, Arizona, we trim and finish each hat by hand with exclusive artisan materials for each House of Hatters collection of hats. Each hat is handcrafted, hand numbered, and available in limited quantities. We take all of the artisan materials and create hat bands, hand stitch stones and feathers, and cut and shape all of our own leather for true international style.
