VS Custom hats

... is the culmination of the hopes and dreams of Janene and Art Fawcett after working for almost 20 years in the Vintage clothing industry. What started out as a hobby turned into one of the largest vintage clothing stores in California and led to our retirement in the mountains of Southern Oregon in 2005.

Part of the Vintage business was dealing with supplying the film industry with authentic period clothing and accessories and over the years, feature hats. Over time I learned how to clean, block, redesign, and finally design gentlemen's hats. Over a 15 year span we accumulated both vintage materials and machinery to allow us to build our own hats with our own designs, all based on classic hats of the past. Our goal is to provide a limited number of Fedora's of the finest quality to discriminating clients.

As part of that goal, we built a complete hat shop on our own property along with our home and ranch buildings.   All of our business is internet based and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. We hope to provide not only the best product but the personal service that hat making requires and deserves.
