MONTECRISTI CUSTOM HAT WORKS

Since 1976, Montecristi Custom Hat Works has been driven by the idea of acquiring the finest raw material (hat bodies) available in the world. Today our inventory of these materials is completely unmatched by titans of industry or any number of fine custom shops. Here at Montecristi we are masters in both Panama and Fur Felt. Very rare in the custom hat business... During this time, I also developed a special relationship with Borsalino, Italy and Irving Joel who had acquired both Resistol and Stetson. During the early eighties, when Borsalino passed into Federal Receivership, Montecristi, along with American and Italian partners made an offer to acquire Borsalino but were outbid by an Italian family by 1.5 million. Stetson and Mr. Joel recognized Montecristi by allotting us the first ten 100X branded hats that they ever produced, numbered 1 through 10 of 100... Montecristi Custom Hat Works in Santa Fe, New Mexico offers the finest hand-made Panama straw and Fur Felt hats. Exquisite..
