Hat People
We are artisan hat makers. Foremost, we take traditional hat styles and step them forward to be reseen and reknown. We do this by clearly stating quality through natural fabrics, wash-ability & adjustable sizes.
This website, NewsBoyCap.com, is a supporting website for our main online presence, HatPeople.com. Hat People was founded by my parents, Jim and Carol Young, in 1978. The business has always been in Oregon, all hats are 100% made in America.
I began working with Hat People full time in 2010, although my sister and I have been around the hats all our lives. For the first 22 years of Hat People, our main venue for sales was the artisan markets and festivals of the Northwest. This annual tour of events is still the center of our presentation, you can find all upcoming events-places-dates by clicking here. In February of 1999 we launched our online presence, HatPeople.com. Through this website we tell our story, share our hats’ features, and sell our hats around the world. Where HatPeople.com is a business page, HatGarden.com is more of a lifestyle page.
NewsBoyCap.com was significantly rebuilt in March of 2020. Foremost it has add an online reference point for our Hat Fabric Library, and a set of tutorial videos that can be found on the Media page.
