    Cowboy hat

    Coolest shopping experience I have ever had. Not only was the lady sweet as could be but her shop is incredible. I would take my friends back simply to look at it. It's very impressive how a garage can be turned into a beautiful shop. Hundreds of hats line the walls and there is so many cool stories the lady can tell you :) I am in college and me and my roommates bought hats, sunglasses and hat bands. Incredible experience. 10 X more fun than going to a normal store.

    I had a wonderful experience at the Hatbox . I picked up two hats that I love and wear all the time. The owner was so nice and friendly helping me find the prefect hat. Also the hats were reasonable priced. I would highly recommend coming here.

    French Legation grounds.  Austin, TX.  Russia and Congo are united under one star!  Hatbox product makes me feel a bit Tex.

    I was in Austin for a wedding. It included some history digging, a haunted hotel Driskill, French Legation grounds, and the Maximillian room at the hotel, where Hapsburg Empire contended for glory with a Roman style Republic, and a mirriad of images bounced off the imperial mirrors, leading you to the moment of an executed Emperor of Mexico's Second Monarchy yelling "Viva La Mexico" before he was executed by Mexican troops. A visit to Hatbox was great. A great service, a well selected hat, within my budget, and yet, a very stylish and comfortable. The ladies loved it, and I felt appriopriately clad, so that I paid my homage to the historical significance of Austin. The picture is from the French Legation grounds.

    His top hat!

    If I could give this 100 stars I would! Lauri is such a sweet lady that really knows her craft! She's full of fun facts and stories and such a great energy to be around. My boyfriend was in search of a top hat for his witch doctor costume and he definitely found the perfect one! She didn't even need to measure his head she sized it almost perfectly with just one profile look. With only minor adjustments after that it fits him perfectly! She then added some feather decor and it just brought the whole look together. She has so many options in all colors and shapes and I know that we will definitely be back for any future hat needs! Thank you so much Lauri!

    Is it possible for you to reblock a new round felt into a long oval? The size is right, the shape is wrong...

    Yes, I can change most aspects of any hat to make a secure custom fit that is comfortable and will not likely blow off in the wind. Book an appointment and I'll show you how that is done! Lauri

    Does this location block and clean hats for customers?

    Yes, every hat is different and has to be viewed in person to quote a price. Though we rarely have any problems some results may vary and we are not responsible for issues caused by cleaning products, steam or heat, stiffeners, straw sprays, waxes… Read more

(We're from San Antonio.) I first went in to get my husband one of the trucker hats from their Animal Farm collection and they didn't have the one he wanted. I picked another one and the girl wrapped it up nice, put it in a really cute bag and assured me that we could bring it back and exchange it if we wanted to. He did want to exchange it so he went in and exchanged it for another and picked one up for me. The same lady helped him that helped me and even though they were still out of stock on the one he really wanted he picked out another one and she took down all of his information and called him when they got in stock and held it. We never go to Austin without stopping in there and picking up something new. They always give great service and have an excellent selection of hats ranging from western to trucker. Oh, and they also have hat accessories like pins and feathers! Everything you need for your headwear.

When you walk into the store you just know you're in the right hands. The vibe of the place is as if Marfa and Joshua tree had a baby:) I've worn hats since I was 8 years old, and I hear so often, "you look so good in hats, but I just can't pull them off.." and I reply, everyone can wear hats, you just have to find the right one. What better of a situation than to get a hat made just for you! Your hat should tell a story, or a bunch of them!!! Chris, the hatter at Aspen Hatter, is exceptional. He took the time to listen to my ideas and get to know me and then understand the vision I had for my hat, which in this instance I didn't have specific ideas, I just wanted a statement piece. I basically knew the color and that I wanted to incorporate turquoise. He ran with it! The hat Chris curated was beyond anything I could've ever dreamed of. It not only a fit perfectly, but it also captured my personality and style flawlessly. My hat is the exact statement I wanted! The craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating my hat were evident. Every stitch, every curve, and every embellishment was carefully executed. You can tell how much pride Chris puts in his work. I highly recommend Aspen Hatter to anyone in search of a custom hat. The combination of professionalism, fun, and a comfortable space makes the experience truly enjoyable. Chris's ability to listen to his clients and then turn their ideas into something extraordinary is remarkable. I am grateful to have found Aspen Hatter and am already dreaming of my next one! If you want a hat that not only fits perfectly but also reflects your individuality, look no further than Aspen Hatter.

    Let me preface this with the following information: I grew up in Midland, Texas and lived in Austin…read morefor 25 years off and on from 1986-2013, when I moved first to Terrell, TX and then to South Carolina. Let's just say Austin was no longer a friendly place to live for a social worker trying to get ahead (AKA buy a house some day). After 2 attempts to get to ATX in 2025, I finally gave up on the airlines and decided to drive. I made it on 2/28/26 with a long list of "errands" that included "buy cowboy boots at Allen's." Imagine my dismay and surprise to see scads of people lined up north of Allen's at a boot store that looked like it was straight out of IG. Who are these people and why are they queuing for an overpriced California-looking place when the real deal is just a few stores south?? We bought my daughter's first pair of boots (red ropers) at Allen's back in 1994/1995. Why mess with tradition? I'm an Aggie, so we cotton to tradition. Anyhoo, Pedro was helping me find some boots and I got down to two pairs that fit like a dream. When my friend asked which pair I would buy, I made a quick decision - both. After all, it took two cancelled flights and a (kid you not) wrench in my tire to make it to ATX. I wasn't going to waste the trip making hard decisions. It could be another 8 years before I make it to the place I still call "home." Thank you Pedro for your assistance. Maybe I'll get some ostrich boots next trip! I love my tall brown boots & my short green-blue boots! Wearing them just about every day here in Columbia, SC! I'm grateful to Allen's for being true Austin - I felt right at home and will treasure my boots!!
