Made to Be Worn. Made to Last.
Made to Be Handed Down.

Meet the Maker

​

I'm a hat maker and restorer based in regional Victoria, specialising in handcrafted custom hats and Akubra-authorised repairs.

​

Trained in Europe under traditional hat makers, I use time honoured handcraft techniques to create hats that are made to be worn, to last, and to be handed down.

 

My work blends heritage craft with everyday practicality, whether restoring a well-worn favourite or crafting something entirely new.

​

At Fortin Hats, every piece is made with care, purpose, and respect for the story it carries.

​

Because a good hat is more than an accessory — it becomes a part of who you are.
