Hi!

My name is Alex. I'm the founder of Hatfield, a designer handmade hat brand. In 2016 me and my girlfriend Maria, who is the main inspiration for the design of our models, created the brand. Now Hatfield has a wide range of different models: more than 20 types of handmade hats are represented in our catalog now. 12 collections have been out since 2016. We have customers all over the Globe.

Hatfield is not just a piece of felt. It's about freedom and courage to be yourself. We created the community of people with a free mind and beautiful ideas. If you have Hatfield on you head, then this is about you.

«Why hats?» — the most common question.
The idea popped into our lives unexpectedly. Masha and I have always loved hats. They have a very noble past, but an unfairly humble present, at least in Russia. So we thought, who if not us?

I've never seen a russian decent brand of hats that would give you freedom and the feeling that you are in your place. And this is very important. We decided to create this feeling.

When we started, the fashion for russian brands was in full swing. But if you could know about clothes and produce that easily in our country, you wouldn't say the same thing about hats. So it was the end of 2015.

The name Hatfield came to us at the right time. We had walked at some warm evening around Moscow and I had been scrolling the names of the future brand in my head. After listing all the dumbest versions, I gave up and turned on some music. At the time, Metallica's Enter Sandman was playing in my headphones. I screamed: Guys, Hatfield! You know, the field of hats (also in russian a brim and a field sound the same) and like James Hetfield. (James Alan Hetfield - Metallica frontman) Everyone loved it. It sounded powerful and very cool.
