It all started when Brittany Paytas found herself at a Garth Brooks concert without a proper cowboy hat.
Disappointed by the price tags at boutique hat shops, Paytas began using carpool downtime to create her own hats for herself, friends, and family. She noticed, “Everybody’s loving these; why not give it a shot?” So, with a desire to offer high-quality, personalized hats at a more affordable price, West Hill Hat Collection was born in the elementary school pick-up line.
Each West Hill Hat is one of a kind. Customers can choose from men’s and women’s 100-percent wool hats in various colors and styles—from the traditional cattleman hat to trendy fedoras—and then add flair with an array of bands and cords, ribbons, feathers, dried floral, playing cards, pins, branding, and more. Combining different textures, patterns, and colors, Paytas helps customers tailor their hats to fit their personality. “I want them to put it on and feel amazing,” she says. “I want them to fall in love with their unique style.”
West Hill goes beyond buying a beautiful hat; it’s also about enjoying the creative process. “I want them to have fun while creating it,” Paytas says. You can design your own hat at West Hill’s virtual hat bar or customize a pre-styled hat. West Hill also hosts in-person hat bars that make special occasions—from bachelorette weekends and birthday celebrations to fundraisers and conferences—even more memorable. Paytas shares, “It’s not just a hat; it’s an experience.”
