Our Story
Formed in 1996, Atwood Hat Company was originally housed in a 12-by-16-foot portable building on Dick and Sharon Atwood’s ranch. The company has since grown to become a leader in the western hat industry.
Born out of necessity, Atwood Hat Company sprang forth because of Dick’s constant search for a hat that would work as hard as he did and still look good enough to wear to town after the workday was done.

How it Started
During a trip to Mexico in 1987, Dick purchased a palm leaf hat. After seeing how well the hat lasted in the hay fields and branding pens, Dick’s friends soon wanted a palm leaf hat of their own. Dick retired from the family business and made another trip to Mexico. This time he came back with several hats to sell to people he knew in the livestock industry.
Within a single month, Dick’s small-time hat business outgrew its portable building accomodations. Moved to a bigger building in Frankston, Texas, the business was christened Atwood Hat Company. Three months later, the Atwoods again relocated to accomodate their business’ rapid growth. They eventually rented three buildings to store their inventory.
Further expanding their line in mid-2001, Atwood Hat Company began producing a superior quality shantung straw hat ‐ the ultimate dress hat.
Today, Atwood Hat Company has moved back to the ranch. Located in a 12,000 square-foot warehouse and office complex, the company continues to grow, furnishing its customers with the finest cowboy hats possible.
Atwood Hats are built to work hard, last long and look great. We don’t put the Atwood name on any hat we make unless it passes stringent inspection. That way, we know you’re getting the very best quality cowboy hat.
this is what matters. Hats for Cowboys.

I’ve owned a lot of the best quality hats, that the top brands sell! And I thought they were good hats. BUT, they don’t compare to an Atwood Hat.

My hat has held its shape and strength for almost ten years! It is what I call a friendly hat. It does not dent your head, it contours to it! I love my Atwood!
