Why We're Different - Hatman Jack's Wichita Hat Works

Why We Are
Different

You Could Buy a Hat Anywhere

We know there are plenty of stores and online marketplaces where you could buy a hat. Buying a hat from Hatman Jack’s is unique. If you visit our store in Wichita, Kansas, or take a look around this site, you will begin to understand just how we are different. We don’t want to sell you a hat. We want to sell you a hat that fits. We educate our customers on choosing the right hat and how to wear it. A hat, to us, is so much more than a piece of clothing that you wear to cover your head. A hat is an expression, a statement of you. We want to help you make that statement in the most flattering way possible.

Jack Kellogg bought the store at the age of seventeen...

Since 1976, he’s shared his infectious love of head-wear with everyone from musicians and celebrities to Flint Hill cowboys, delivered with a mix of timeless style and enthusiastic customer service.

In an era of cheap, mass-produced product and say anything salesmanship, the team at Hatman Jack’s operates in much the same manner as they did when Wichita Hatworks first opened their doors in the 1920s.

Quality is valued over profit, and the customer’s trust is always valued over the sale. After 45 years in the business, Jack knows quality. Both online and in his store, he has curated a collection of the finest, well-made pieces from reputable companies, sure to be enjoyed by his customers for years to come.

Hat Design and Fitting: An Old World Art

It’s about balancing the shape of a hat to the face underneath it. It’s about visual weight to face shape. It’s about enhancing your features and so often making it possible to greatly enhance certain features, or in some cases to deaccentuate others.

Oftentimes a person may be sensitive about certain features, the size of their nose, chin, or ears. We can actually shape a hat to emphasize your best. So send us a picture, or come visit us in person, and we can go about the process of bringing out your best features. So much remains unspoken, but believe us when we say, our work will be seen and noticed and appreciated.
