How the Show Has Impacted Western Wear Style

Yellowstone was a smash hit when it was first released, drawing in impressive viewing numbers. Due to the show’s immense popularity, thousands of people continue to order custom hats every year in an effort to emulate the iconic rough-and-tumble style of the show’s characters.

Greeley Hat Works’ Role in the Western Wear Revolution

Our role in the creation of Yellowstone’s iconic cowboy hats is simple, yet powerful. We were the ones who built the character’s custom hats! Our process started with reading the pre-film script to get an idea of what type of hat would best fit which character, sent over by the show’s creators. Once we read the show’s pilot, we just knew that Greeley Hat Works had to leave our mark on the show. We then partnered with the show’s writers and set designers to help create a hat that was the perfect fit for each character, taking into account the character’s style, motivations, and actions in the story. The result? One of television’s hottest shows started a western wear revolution with Greeley Hat Works and other custom hat makers leading the stampede.

Our Story

Our story begins around 1909 in the cattle town of Greeley, Colorado, where we remain to this day. Greeley was the perfect place to set up our classic shop because of the town’s cattle and ranching heritage. Coupled with excellent people from Greeley, and a strong agricultural industry, we’ve been at home for over 110 years.
