Our Story
More Than a Hat.A State of Mind.
A small handmade hat brand from Powell River, B.C., built on creativity, individuality and western outlaw style.
Born on the Edge
Renegade Hats began in Powell River, British Columbia — a small town at the end of the road, where the forest meets the Pacific and people tend to do things their own way. One hat. A wild idea. A refusal to follow the pack.
Made by Hand. Every Time.
Every hat is distressed, burned, shaped and decorated by hand in our small workshop. Feathers, conchos, bone, copper, turquoise, artwork — each piece is chosen for that one hat and no other. There are no production lines, no templates and no duplicates.
For the Rule Breakers
Handcrafted by lady renegade Gitta May Nielsen — the maker behind every one-of-a-kind Renegade Hat. These hats are made for rebels, the ones who don't fit, musicians, wanderers and free spirits — people who don't want ordinary. A Renegade Hat isn't an accessory. It's a statement about who you are and how you move through the world.
