Jim Reece Custom Hats

Jim Reece Custom Hats Custom handmade western and fedora hats made the old-fashioned way. Every piece built with tradition, pride & your perfect fit.

Jim Reece Custom Hats was born out of a passion for heritage, craftsmanship, and individuality. Every hat is handmade the traditional way — using the same kind of tools and methods that pioneer hat makers once relied on. From shaping and sizing to hand-stitched bindings, ribbons, and trimmings, no two hats are ever alike. Each piece is carefully sized and shaped to fit you — not just your head, bu

t your style and story. Whether you’re after a rugged western, a timeless fedora, or something completely unique, your hat will be built to last and become a one-of-a-kind piece you’ll be proud to wear. For Jim, hat-making is about more than materials. It’s about creating something personal, meaningful, and lasting — a hat that feels like it was always meant to be yours.

This short brim beauty definitely has the old school Classic Fedora look. I made this one from a 95g pure beaver felt in Oyster color with Old serpent brown binding and trimmings ( hand stitched ). The naked sheep leather sweatband and burgundy liner really pops against the Oyster Green beaver felt.

I really enjoyed my time in multiple cities and locations of Arizona this week. I’ve had some fantastic conversations with some hat lovers and future clients, in addition to being inspired by some really old classic hats on display and by some local favorites. I’ll be rolling out a Doc Holiday inspired hat for a really cool young man upon my return to the Appalachian Mountains of Northeast Tennessee. Thank you to everyone for following my page and supporting my passion of hat making. I’d like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas!

This is a late 25th birthday gift for my youngest son in Texas. It’s a Pecan color 100x beaver felt with a hand sewn Sudan ribbon binding and leather & horsehair band. It features a 3” custom shaped brim and crown. This hat has the classic Fedora crown look with a small brim western feel, the perfect combo.
Happy birthday Gabe!

My buddy wanted a Fedora with an aged look, featuring a 2” curved brim with hand stitched binding, custom center crown dent, no side dents with leather barbed wire and leather band. The hat was to simulate the style of hat his grandfather wore with a slight tilt on the head. I had a blast making this one !! Thanks Jerry for letting me have a go at this bad boy!! You rock this lid brother!!
