Launched in a Venice, California garage studio in 2013, Nick Fouquet has revitalized the art of hatmaking with a distinctly West Coast sensibility. Founder Nick Fouquet, a former model with a background in environmental science, blends traditional techniques with a well-traveled, bohemian aesthetic. The brand is celebrated for its handcrafted hats, primarily made from sustainably harvested beaver felt, which are subjected to unique distressing processes including sanding and fire to achieve a signature worn-in patina. Each piece is finished with eclectic details like vintage fabrics, intricate embroidery, and the trademark matchstick tucked into the band, making every hat a one-of-a-kind creation.
