Custom Crowns for Mountain Souls
Snow Chapeau is a luxury custom hat atelier specializing in handcrafted Beaver, Rabbit, Coypu and Vegan fur felt Western-style hats, custom-made to order, one at a time—exclusively for you. Our hats are inspired by the elevated mountain aesthetic you’ll find at flashy mountain town stores, but unlike mass-handled retail hats, every Snow Chapeau crown is custom made to order, never worn, tried on, or handled by anyone else.
Because Snow Chapeau operates without a traditional storefront or production line, we’re able to offer true custom craftsmanship at significantly lower prices—often nearly half the cost of comparable luxury hats from Stetson, True Grit, or Kemo Sabe — without compromising quality, materials, or design.

A little about the ‘brand’
Hat making is my calling and my passion. I create wearable art handcrafted in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Every hat is a Custom Crown for a Mountain Soul - built to travel with you and carry the mountains wherever life leads. I only use quality materials globally sourced.
I personally hand make every single hat in my RV workshop. They are hand shaped, and hand sewn. All my hats & hatbands are my originals, the feathers are a gift from our feathered friends and the pins and brands come from trusted partners.
No production line, no flashy ski town store front means lower prices for you.
