Intentionally Crafted Hats in Franklin, TN

Hi! We are Lia LaRue (left) and Nicole Johnson (right), hat makers and owners of Nic & Maude. We have been dear friends for over sixteen years, living a lot of life together as artists, musicians, mothers, and travelers. Some of the most memorable trips we’ve taken together have been out West, (Marfa, TX, Jackson Hole, WY, and White Fish, MT to name a few), where we fell in love with the landscapes and grit of the people that lived among its wild nature. Out West is where our love for hats became more than just an accessory to our wardrobe. 

Who are Nic & Maude?

Since the beginning, our goal has been to bring individuality and romance to each hat, creating a fashion statement to adorn your head, while also echoing the sentiments and beauty of the untamed West.

How Much Does it Cost?

Every hat we make begins with top of the line, high quality materials. We use premium leather sourced from small businesses across the country, and a variety of embellishments like Tibetan silk, vintage ribbons and bandanas, wild turkey feathers (100% ethically sourced), patches, vintage pins, vintage playing cards, and empty bullet casings. We even burn custom details onto the hat, adding a personal, unique touch to the finished product.

Due to the intentionality and resources we put into each custom hat, our pricing starts at $750 for custom hats.

How to Measure Your Head

It’s easy to find your own hat size! All you need to do is lightly wrap a soft measuring tape around the circumference of your head, at just a finger's width above your ears, above your eyes, and around the widest part of the back of your head, making sure it’s not too tight. Then, remove the tape, and send us the number (in inches).
