About
Somerville Hat Co was founded in early 2018. The pattern for these five panel hats is loosely based on a beloved hat from Bissell Brothers Brewing in Portland, Maine. Using brims and closures from thrifted hats, and fabric from (mostly) thrifted curtains and clothes, the idea behind SHC is that not all materials must be purchased new.
A self-proclaimed “hat dude”, Emma grew up wearing hats all year-round. In middle school, she began crocheting and selling winter beanie-style hats. In high school and college, she crocheted hats that look like animals (RIP Emma’s Animal Hats). Fond of sewing since learning in middle school, sewn fabric hats were the obvious next step in Emma’s love affair with hats.
