"Mark - Wow, wow, wow! Just received my Dillinger "Public Enemies" Fedora. Let me just say, Mr. Mejia, you & your team continuously out do yourselves with each order. What an absolutely stunning hat. From the burgundy ribbon to the black & gold silk/satin lining....... Everything about the hat is spot on! It looks like it just stepped out of the 1930s. Crown height, brim width, classic bash, it's just perfect. I am more than impressed & incredibly pleased: I’m yet to take it off! Once again, many thanks for creating a most wonderful article of head wear. I'll definitely be back with another order."

Baron Happily Accepts


 

(Continued from top) ...Many of our hats have become as famous as the stars themselves, and we are proud that so many have become very much a part of the legends of Hollywood history, along with playing a part in many International Awards, from the “Festival De Cannes”, to the “Emmy’s”, “Grammy’s”, “Golden Globes”, to the granddaddy of them all… the Oscars®!

We’ve created Baron Hats Online, to be both a haven for Hollywood History Buffs, as well as collectors, hat aficionados, professional costumers, and anyone who needs that special hat for productions, gifts, or for their own collections! We also design, fix, style, block and re-size your “everyday” hats with the same professional attention to detail that we do for our biggest productions and celebrities. At Baron California hats, you’re ALL celebrities to us! Therefore, on Baron Hats Online, you'll not only experience our rich history, but you will have the opportunity to actually purchase some of our unique creations, including exclusive limited edition collector’s series

Half our site is dedicated to opening up, for the first time ever, our vast “library” collection of historical Hollywood hat memorabilia to the public, and the other half, with offering, also for the first time, our classic hand-custom-made-to-order reproductions inspired by our most famous creations. For those who need special hats, from professional productions, to that very special school play, we offer a storehouse of information, and direct communication to our Master Hatters, whose craftsmanship is only limited by your own imagination! 

We also offer a vast selection of specialty hats… from authentic hand-made Classic Collapsible Top Hats, from rare Hand-Woven Straw Hats made exclusively for us by native craftsmen deep in the mountains of South America, to genuine “Boaters” made to our exacting specifications in Italy! From our Fanciful Collection of classic styled caps made unique with one-of-a-kind fabrics and blocking, to our famous “Miniature Series”… to the ability to create your very own Dream Hat

This is only a “taste” of what we have to offer. So relax for a moment, check our menu categories and take our “tour”: Find out the hat size of your favorite celebrity in our “Celebrity Hat Sizes” section, or discover the secrets production records from some of the classic movies of all time in our “Historical Production Notes”. 

If you’re a professional costumer, visit our “Costuming” section, created just for you! Learn about the fascinating history of some of your favorite classic Hollywood hats in our histories of the various hat styles  section, and of course, check out the amazing array of custom-made-to-order and specialty hats for sale! 

Baron Hats is unique not only in its long and distinguished history in Hollywood, but because it is one of the only Studios in the country that is staffed with both “Hatters” (for men’s hats) and “Milliners” (for women’s hats), along with some of the most skilled and experienced hat makers in the world… not to mention having one of the largest “libraries” of hat blocks, busts, equipment and resource material in the world… all under one roof! 

On any given day, we are in production on a dozen films, commercials, rock videos, special requests, along with “just plain folk” who come into our Studio, or contact us Online, wanting only the best in their hat needs… so come back to Baron Hats Online frequently, since we will be updating our “current productions” with exciting information and advance photos, in addition to continually enlarging our vast memorabilia collection (there’s a lot of information gathered in over fifty years, and we can’t put it all up at once!)… and of course… come back to see what new and exciting hat reproductions, originals, one-of-a-kind and collectables for sale that we will continue to add!

And if you find yourself in Burbank, California, please come visit our Studio! With a little advance notice, we’ll be happy to take you on a private tour… and you’ll never know which celebrities may be “stopping  in to hang around” the shop!
