Can I pick up my order in your studio?
Yes. Please contact me for times, address or to make a pick up appointment after your custom hat is ready to go home.

Depends on the hat. Most customs during most of the year take 4 to 6 weeks to complete. Sometimes that can change to 8 to 12 weeks.

Rush orders can sometimes be accommodated. There is 15% surcharge.
What if I don't like my custom hat or if there is something wrong with it?
Please contact us immediately upon receipt of the hat. There are no refunds on custom hats but we strive to send you the correct hat first.

There are no refunds or exchanges on custom hats.
Shipping is through Canada Post with tracking unless the customer specifies otherwise.
Payments can be made through e-transfer or Paypal except when shopping online through our Etsy Page.
