Since 1949. Borrowing on the experience acquired from their father “George” Cury, a master hatter and artisan, his sons Samir and Jorge carry on the fine tradition of quality hat making. Today they incorporate all the fine techniques that the founder started back in 1949. Not a single step or process is skipped in bringing to the world a premium hat and leather jackets with old western charm.

Bullhide hats have gained special recognition in the western market because of their superior finish, innovative style and exclusive trimmings. These qualities make Bullhide Hats unique.
Choosing the right Hat body is only the beginning of the laborious process of making a Bullhide Hat.
First each hat body is handcrafted by expert artisans using different materials: Fur felt, wool felt, and natural straws.
Before qualifying as a Bullhide Hat, our hats have to pass a careful inspection made by our skilled hatters.
Each hat body is hand dipped in a special lacquer, which makes the hats more durable, water-resistant and easy to clean.
Unlike some other manufactures that run their hats trough ovens, our hats are allowed to air-dry. This process takes longer, but it allows the stiffener to cure uniformly and eliminates peeling and cracking.
After the completion of the stiffening process, the hats are ready for the blocking process. We use heat, pressure, and extreme care to give the hat its final size and shape.
