Hat Can

Hat Can

You didn’t invest in a custom hat for it to get squashed in the back seat, crushed in the float, or thrown in the overhead locker like an afterthought.
When you spend a small fortune on your hat, you may as well protect it every way you can.
 
Our Bar M Hat Cans are built to travel. Whether you’re heading to a rodeo, flying across the country, packing for a wedding, or loading up for Fieldays, this is the insurance policy your crown deserves.
 
Available in teal, tan, or black, they’re practical without looking like a plastic storage tub from the shed. Clean. Strong. Purpose-built.

  • This is for the rider who understands value.
    For the woman who just had her hat hand-shaped to fit her face.
    For the bloke who finally upgraded from “that old thing” to something worthy of his name.

    One hat. Securely stored.

    Protected from dust, pressure, and chaos.

    Designed to protect a single hat while travelling Structured shell to maintain crown and brim shape Easy to carry Smart enough to show up anywhere Shipping available NZ-wide You wouldn’t throw your saddle in the dirt. Don’t do it to your hat. Choose your colour — teal, tan, or black — and travel knowing your crown is covered.

The Hook Halter Custom Order

average rating is 5 out of 5

Millie at Bar M was a pleasure to work with and created a superb quality custom rope halter for me using the colours from a crown leather beaded breastplate that I treasure. She was easy to deal with and the finished procut exceeded my expectations. My favourite feature is the quick fastening hook to make it easy to put on and take off the halter especialy for children or people with hand mobility issues. No more knots!! I will be looking at getting more rope halters in the future from Bar M!

Gorgeous!

Our Perfect Fit Gaurantee

Bar M Custom Hat being hand shaped

We're not in the business of 'close enough'

Your Bar M hat will fit like it was made for you — because it is. That’s why we send you a Fit Kit before we even order the hat.

Our Gaurantee

If, for some reason, your hat isn’t a perfect fit when it arrives (rare, but we’re human), send it back and we’ll make it right.

Our sales are final

Because each hat is custom-built for you, all sales are final — no refunds. The only time we’ll take a hat back is if it’s damaged in transit. We check every hat top to bottom in the workshop before shipping, so you can bet your boots it’s leaving here in perfect condition.

Answers to your questions

Bar M owner answering questions to happy customers abotu custom hats

Once you’ve paid your deposit, we’ll send your Fit Kit straight to you. After you send it back, your hat will be built, shaped, and shipped within 8 weeks. (Usually faster, but we allow wiggle room so you’re not left guessing.)

It will fit—because we use your Fit Kit to size it perfectly. But on the rare chance it needs tweaking, send it back and we’ll make it right.

Custom hats are non-refundable due to their one-of-a-kind nature. The only exceptions are if your hat is damaged in transit. We triple-check every hat before it leaves the workshop, so you won’t be sent anything faulty.

Easy—just write your ideas in the comments section when you order. Millie will get in touch to go through the options with you, from understated to bold.

Say no more. A Custom Workshop Session is the best fit for you. Pop that in the comments section and Millie will talk you through the options—whether in person near Queenstown or online if you can’t travel. We’ll make it happen.

Yes! For $15 you can make your mark forever with branding. This is a hot-iron brand where letters or symbols are carefully burnt onto your hat. It’s bold, permanent, and unapologetically you.
