Arkansas's Original Custom Hat Bar
Arkansas's Original Hat Bar is where a hat gets custom fitted for you — not just handed off the shelf. At Moon Ridge in Fayetteville, trained designers fit your head first, shape the crown and brim to you, then add the personal touches you choose together.
Start with a cowboy hat or a city dress hat from brands like Stetson and Resistol. Add ribbon, feathers, playing cards, leather. We keep a whole wall of trim to pick from.
We also carry a deep selection of hat bands, including leather bands made right here in Northwest Arkansas.
You work alongside a trained hat designer who fits you first, then shapes the crown to your head shape and adjusts the brim to your preference.
That's the difference between a custom hat bar and a hat counter. It's not a service you get after you buy — it's the reason you buy here.
We don't want to be confused with a trucker patch hat bar. That's a blank trucker hat and a large selection of patches, pressed right in front of your eyes. We love their craft — it's just a very different one from ours.
We help you find the perfect crown shape and brim width. Then we shape it to fit your head.
The brands we start with
We're particular about what goes on our shelves. Stetson and Resistol were there day one, and they're still our favorites.
We've grown to love several others since — Charlie 1 Horse, Bigalli, Goorin Bros., and Dobbs. They aren't all cowboy hats, and that's the point.
The job hasn't changed — find you the absolute best quality at the price point you're looking for.
We went and learned it from third-generation hat shapers
We were the first in Arkansas to train in person under Glenn and Parker Orms at Hat Masters in Denver. The coursework came first. Then days on the steamers, shaping hat after hat.
We came home certified, and we've shaped thousands of hats since — which is why locals and visitors call this Arkansas's Original Custom Hat Bar.
How it works
Our hat designers are in Thursday through Saturday. Walk in and sit down — no appointment needed, though booking a Free Hat Experience gets you our undivided attention and a designer who isn't watching the door.
Shaping is complimentary on any hat you buy from us. Thirty-five dollars if you bring one in from somewhere else, and we're glad you brought it.
We'll also bring the bar to you. Weddings, corporate events, private parties — eight guests to two hundred and fifty.
