Hats by Parker Thomas
Alright Denver, did you know you can make custom hats right here in Cherry Creek? 👇🏼🤠\
Hats by Parker Thomas (located inside HAVEN in Cherry Creek)
This is none other than Hats by Parker Thomas. This was my first time making a hat like this and it was so much fun. If you need a hat for the National Western Stock Show, country concert, or just chic western city living, this is the spot. Hats can run anywhere from $250-$450 dependent on style & accessories chosen. @hatsbyparkerthomas
First, we picked out the style and color. Each hat & design depends on each customer, but most hats can be done in around 20 minutes. We were in the shop for about an hour because we were having such a good time.
I can’t say enough good things about Parker, Taylor & Garrett - they all were wonderful and really helped steer us in the right direction on what colors would look best with our hair and what accessories would look best on the hat. Since I had never done this before, the help was much needed (and appreciated)!
I went with a brown feather band and light red cord to be wrapped around the band twice. Then Taylor tied the cord in the back to make a short tail.
Styling the hat with a band and cord
Our hats were sized & steamed to get the perfect look. The steam made the hats more pliable to make custom crowns and brim shapes. Once the hat was back to room temperature, the new shape was set.
Sizing the hat
Then it was time to brand! This was one of my favorite parts of the hat making experience - it added so much personal character to each hat. I had ‘DENV.HER.’ branded on the bottom of the rim and also did Parker Thomas’ logo. Then I had a rose branded on the top.
Branding the hat
Talk about a great activity to do with a friend. You can even book Hats by Parker Thomas for private events! They have their own retail display, steamer, tables and racks so they can take this show on the road just about anywhere.
My final look was burgundy western chic - love her.
Big thanks to Parker, Taylor, & Garrett for hosting us!
Check it out and let them know that denv.her. sent you! xx
