Consultations are by appointment only, allowing us to protect the time of our makers and offer you a personalized experience.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship – The Story of Hoyle Hat
Hoyle Hat Co. began with an unexpected spark of inspiration. Founder Michael Patrick Hoyle, a former piano technician, was apprenticing while working on an old Steinway grand piano. Performing a delicate process known as voicing and pinning, he found himself surrounded by fine wool shavings. The piano’s owner remarked, “All that wool on the ground – you could make a hat.”

That offhand comment became the spark of a new calling. Michael, a self-taught hatmaker, embarked on a journey that would redefine haberdashery in Seattle. Without formal training, he built a reputation for quality and artistry, earning the trust of clients and setting a new standard in handcrafted hats.

We are proud to share this dream and are actively looking for a new shop space to house our manufacturing facility. We are seeking investors and growth opportunities to keep the art of haberdashery alive and thriving in the Pacific Northwest.

If you share our passion for preserving this trade and supporting artisan craftsmanship, we’d love to hear from you. Whether you’re a client, consumer, or potential investor, join us in this journey to honor tradition and push the boundaries of what handmade hats can be.
