About Us

Welcome to Lonestar Hat Forge, a custom hat studio nestled in the quiet lakeside community of El Lago, Texas.

Here, hats aren’t mass produced; they’re forged. One block, one crease, one customer at a time. Whether you want a timeless cattleman cowboy hat, a razor-sharp fedora, or something so wild it stops traffic from the ranch to the rodeo, we forge it by hand with premium straw or hare, beaver-blend or mink felt to your exact vision.

Boot Clark, our Certified Hat Master, trained under some of the last old-school legends and has spent years mastering every crease, shape, and finish. From breathing new life into your vintage treasures to crafting one-of-a-kind statement pieces and heirlooms, Boot brings precision, Texas grit, and a whole lot of soul to every brim.

We work by appointment only because a true custom hat demands real conversation and real time.
