A Dallas-based bespoke milliner, Nicholas Fields, is taking the creation of the humble hat to another level. Through his American Haberdashery brand, Fields is looking to satisfy demand for unique styles in the high-end market.
Custom Hats for World Cup Fans
With the World Cup in town, Fields has received orders from fans supporting co-hosts Mexico and Canada, as well as from the Netherlands and Japan. Prices for one of Fields’ creations start at $700, and hats can take six weeks or more to be made from concept to finished article.
Fields operates in a niche market, creating fewer than 100 hats per year for an exclusive clientele. He maintains a high level of discretion about his customers and is keen to remain a niche provider of a high-quality product.
