Headwear Association: Member Spotlight
La Maison des Chapeaux de Gaston

Welcoming new THA Members:



There’s something truly transformative about the perfect hat. Todd and Johnny Gaston believe that a hat is more than an accessory - it’s a signature. They launched La Maison des Chapeaux de Gaston (Gaston Hattery) in 2024 and have taken their passion for hats all over Texas, popping up at Music Festivals, Farmer’s Markets and Artisan Fairs.

Their designs combine timeless hat silhouettes with a modern, sophisticated edge. Whether you’re strolling through city streets or attending a music festival, a Gaston original ensures you do so with a style all your own.

What makes La Maison des Chapeaux de Gaston special?

Artisanal Craftsmanship: Each piece is handcrafted with custom details and vintage pieces including silk neckties, antique hat pins & brooches, leather bands, exquisite, unusual trims and more. Classic styles are reimagined and customized for the contemporary wardrobe.

· Heirloom Heritage Hats: These custom hats commemorate your loved ones by incorporating mementos, family heirlooms, jewelry, and collectibles that belonged to family members into a custom hat design. Personalized, heirloom hats that you will cherish forever, and can pass down to younger generations.

Exquisite Materials & Styles for Every Season: Gaston Hattery adds their artisanal touch to a wide variety of hat styles: Cowboy Hats, Outbacks, Ranchers Pencil-brimmed Western Styles, Wide Brimmed Fedoras and more. They work with both straws and felts so you can keep your hat game strong year-round.

Tomorrow, Friday, March 13, 2026, will be at the Waterfront Market at Epic Central in Grand Prairie. The market is from 6pm-10pm. It will be an awesome night of 80+ vendors, food, giveaways, a live DJ and an epic water show! At Epic Central - 2961 State Hwy 161, Grand Prairie, TX 75053.

Each year, The Headwear Association hosts a gathering for our members. For 115 years we've held our annual dinner in NYC, but we always receive requests to expand our events to other cities.

This year we headed to Dallas, Texas, and WOW, we met so many milliners and incredible hat brands who had never attended a Headwear Association event.

We held our event in conjunction with the WESA trade show, high atop the Dallas Market Center at D15TRICT Lounge where our guests enjoyed sweeping views of Dallas.

Shout out to all our platinum sponsors who made this event possible:
Bollman Hat Company, Hatco, Wallaroo Hat Company, Outback Trading Company LTD., & DorfmanMilano.

We were very honored that Young An Hat Co., the sponsors of our FIT Student Scholarship, came all the way from Korea to celebrate with us.

Sending a HUGE Thank You to all the hat lovers and and headwear brands that joined us this year. We were so excited to meet new people and hat brands that attended their very first Headwear Association event!
