Pioneer Emporium & Virginia City Hat Maker

Excellent experience seeing a felt blank be transformed into a finished custom made hat. Pascal is extremely friendly and takes pride in his craft. Very fair prices and the upmost quality. Highly recommend.

Pascal is an artist and a gentleman. An amazing experience!

I recently purchased a custom fitted hat from the Virginia City Hat Maker and was extremely satisfied with my purchase. The hat fits perfectly, which is a first for me as off-the-shelf hats always seem to be a compromise in fit. The materials (20x beaver) and workmanship were excellent, while the cost and turn around time was very reasonable for a custom made product. If you have ever wanted to treat yourself to a custom hat, I would definitely recommend this shop.

The exceptional experience of watching true artistry combined with an amazing product. I had no idea how satisfying it is wearing a custom fitted fedora. I didn't know what to expect from watching its creation, but probably expected a more mechanical process filled with molds and forms. Instead, I got to watch my hat come to life from the hands of a master. Incredible.

Just the best. I get compliments on my fedora wherever I go. It will last a lifetime and gets better with age. Thanks again.
