I made an appointment to get my old favorite hat fixed- the brim had become too bent. Even though my hat was not made by nor purchased from here, he expertly fixed it in just a few minutes! I love wearing my hat again with its fixed brim.
Meet Virginia City's very own hatmaker!
Hailing from Savoie, France, chapelier Pascal Baboulin has always been captivated by history and craftsmanship – particularly that of the American Old West. In 2000 he followed his dreams and interests and embarked on a journey throughout the Western US. From the beginning, Pascal knew hatmaking was his forte – and eventually started his own business in 2004 in Virginia City, Nevada. Over the years, Pascal has created thousands of fine hats according to his exacting methods and signature style which combines traditional European hatmaking techniques with more modern American ones; each and every hat a work of art.
