About Us

Welcome to Made Up Headwear!

I built this hat company to solve a simple, stubborn problem: the hat industry hasn’t been keeping up with people who need a bigger hat. I have a big head, and after years of squeezing into styles that never quite fit (and ultimately giving up on wearing hats altogether), I realized this wasn’t a personal failing–it was a design flaw! I wanted a hat that actually fit me and felt comfortable, while providing an outlet for self-expression and style. So I set out to make one: honest sizing, thoughtful construction, and styles that don’t force you to choose between fit and fashion.

Legacy matters to me. I’m creating a product I’m proud of: not just a hat that fits, but a business that models ethical practices, treats people fairly, and values purpose over pure profit. I want my children to see me leading a company that cares about its customers, its workers, and its impact on the world.

At Made Up Headwear, we’re making hats for a subset of society that has largely been left out of accessorizing. Our mission is to design hats with thought and intention, based on the needs of real people. Our purpose is to make hats that help people feel seen. If you’re tired of one-size-fits-all solutions, welcome—this is a place built for fit, function, and a little more room for everyone.

Thank you for choosing us!
