Welcome to Ouray’s only hat bar!

The Hat Bar

The Hat Bar at The Mercantile Ouray is a great way to create your one-of-a-kind gift or souvenir of your time in Ouray, Colorado. You choose your hat, then we help you customize it with a curated selection of hat bands, feathers, pins and more. We also do custom branding and hand-lettering so you have a hat that’s truly personalized for you.

We currently accept walk-ins for the hat bar and are not accepting individual appointments at this time.

How it Works

Step 1

Choose a base hat. Try on as many as you like, and let us know if you need a different size.

Vegan Suede - $70

100% Wool Cashmere - $170

Step 2

Select your add-ons and put them in your basket.

We recommend starting with:

  • 1 hat band or 1-2 ribbons.

  • 1-2 lapel-style pins.

  • 1-2 feathers.

Add more if it strikes your fancy! We’re happy to offer suggestions if you would like.

Priced à la carte as marked, $5-$40

Step 3

Choose your branding or hand-burned lettering. Decide what you’d like branded on your hat and where it should go.

We suggest your initials and/or a symbol, placed on the inside brim or the front or side of the outer crown.

$10 per brand/hand-burned character

Step 4

Watch your hat being assembled and branded, and enjoy your very own custom-made, one-of-a-kind hat from Ouray!
