About Hat Headquarters

Custom hats. American made. Family crafted.

Our Story

This small business started at our kitchen table under the name MannMade Designs. What began over 10 years ago as making handmade wooden signs has transformed into an entire workshop dedicated to making custom hats.

We’re Marcus and Kelsie, and we’re building this business together while raising our two kids, Kamryn and Kacen. We’re chasing our dreams daily and doing our best to be successful small business owners.

How We Got Into Custom Hats

After we purchased our first laser, a customer asked if we could make leather patch hats. We said yes — and they took off. Since then we’ve added multiple laser machines and later expanded into embroidered hats, so our customers can choose the style that fits their brand best.

What Makes Our Hats Different

• Premium leatherette patches with detailed laser engraving
• Clean, detailed embroidery — we don’t send hats out with hoop or needle-foot marks
• High-quality hats from brands like Richardson and Yupoong
• Made in-house — not outsourced
• Direct communication with Kelsie, the owner, so you’re never just a number
• Built to match your business, team, farm, or group exactly

We take pride in the small details — no creases from a heat press, no marks around the embroidery, and no guessing what your order will look like. If you want it a certain way, we make it that way.

Made in the USA

For us, “Made in the USA” means more than where the hat is finished — it means having the freedom to be entrepreneurs, provide for our family, and support other hardworking Americans. We’re proud to be a family-owned U.S. business.

Who We Serve

We work with businesses, teams, farms, tradespeople, gift buyers, and groups — anyone who wants to stand out with professional, custom headwear. We love helping you look proud and confident in a hat that actually represents you.

Our Mission

We help businesses, teams, and groups stand out with custom headwear made with care, right here in the USA.
