What hat would YOU wear? A, B or C?

We all have our own hat personality – and that’s exactly how it should be!

So, just for fun, imagine you’ve got a fabulous day out coming up and your outfit is sorted. There’s just one very important decision left to make…

Which hat are you reaching for?

A Something elegant and sophisticated – a beautiful finishing touch that pulls the whole outfit together.

B Something bold and colourful – you’re not afraid to stand out and you want your hat to do some of the talking!

C Something completely extraordinary – statement-making, wonderfully different and guaranteed to turn a few heads.

Tell us A, B or C in the comments – and if none of those quite describe you, tell us what your dream hat would look like!

We’d love to know what kind of hat wearer you are.

Your personal brand doesn't stop at your business card.

For keynote speakers, charity ambassadors, company founders and professionals attending high-profile events, what you wear helps shape the impression you leave. A bespoke hat can become a distinctive part of that story.

At The Extraordinary Hat Company, our award-winning milliner, Pat Brown, creates one-of-a-kind hats that are individually designed and handcrafted to reflect your personality, your brand and the occasion.

Whether you're attending:
🎩 A charity gala or fundraising ball
🎩 A corporate awards evening
🎩 A race day with clients or colleagues
🎩 A business networking event
🎩 A civic or ceremonial engagement
🎩 A company celebration or annual dinner
..a bespoke hat offers something no off-the-shelf design ever can – complete individuality.

Every commission begins with a personal consultation, where Pat takes the time to understand your style, outfit and the statement you'd like to make. From there, your hat is meticulously handcrafted using traditional millinery techniques, with every detail tailored to you.

Because exceptional craftsmanship takes time, we recommend allowing at least three months before your event to ensure your finished hat is perfect.

In a world where personal branding matters more than ever, a bespoke hat is more than an accessory. It's a conversation starter, a confidence boost and a memorable finishing touch.

If you have a significant event on the horizon, we'd be delighted to discuss how we can create something truly extraordinary for you.

Some occasions deserve more than an off-the-shelf hat. They deserve something created especially for you.

Whether you're attending Royal Ascot, a wedding, Ladies Day, a garden party or another special celebration, Pat Brown can design and handcraft a completely bespoke hat that reflects your personality, style and outfit perfectly.

🎩 From your first consultation to the final fitting, every detail is carefully considered:
• Choose your colours, shape and style
• Select beautiful trims and embellishments
• Enjoy a hat designed exclusively for you
• Expert fittings ensure the perfect finish

Each commission is individually handcrafted using traditional millinery techniques and exceptional attention to detail, resulting in a truly extraordinary piece you'll treasure for years to come.

📅 Planning ahead? Please allow at least 3 months before your event to give Pat time to design, create and perfect your bespoke hat.

If you've ever dreamed of wearing a hat that's as unique as you are, we'd love to help make it a reality.
