(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”

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

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!
