In loving memory of Edmund Housey and Judith Goodwin

LOVE IN THE LINING

Sole Rider hats are handcrafted by Texas third-generation family hat makers and designed as Housey family heirlooms.

Embossed into the lining is a quote from Emily's grandfather, “Papa,” a WWII veteran:

“Did you behave yourself or did you have fun?”

A gold chickadee rests at the center of the phrase, representing her late grandmother — because, lord knows, nothing she ever said should be put in writing.

Each hat is made with the intention to inspire its owner to be as loving and generous as Edmund Housey, to see the world as beautifully as Judy Goodwin did, to carry her contagious optimism, and to embrace their shared belief that the best stories come from breaking the rules.

Life just isn't that serious. Enjoy the ride.

FIND YOUR SIZE

Tape Measure Recommended

  1. Grab a tape measure (or a string and measure against a ruler later)

  2. Wrap around your head, sitting: midforehead and a finger or two above your ears.

  3. Pull the measuring tape firm - not too tight!

  4. Find your size in CM and convert to your hat size

Snap Back Trick

Slightly less accurate, use a snapback hat to find what size is most comfortable.

Always size up; we can always add extra padding to size down.

A size chart for different hat sizes with measurement details and instructions for snap back and trick hats, including diagrams of hat closures and a note that hats do not snap at certain sizes.
