Hanna Hats of Donegal Ltd is a world famous maker of indigenous Irish tweed hats and caps as well as other items of fine tweed, linen and wax apparel. Visitors are invited to their factory and shop which are located in Donegal town, County Donegal.
Growing out of a bespoke tailoring firm started in Donegal town by the late David Hanna in 1924, Hanna Hats has more recently expanded into ladies bags, scarves and the famous Donegal patchwork quilt. Their hats and caps are used for all occasions from fishing, golfing, walking and skiing.
Hanna Hats of Donegal are unique as all of their styles are cut to patterns designed by Hanna Hats and assembled by hand at their factory in Donegal town. They use the finest Donegal tweed (pure new wool) woven exclusively for them.
The very first 'Hanna' hat was created in 1964 and it took four and a half hours to complete. It was called the 'Hanna Hat' and given the style number '84'. One only has to pick up a 'Hanna' hat or cap to see that the quality tailored look has been retained completely.
Their full range of hats and caps are naturally moisture repellent and guaranteed to keep you dry and warm in all kinds of weather. Their hats and caps are available in all sizes.
Visitors are invited to the factory shop. Items can also be purchased online via the website.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteThe hats sound really nice. I wonder if the first Hanna Hat from 1964 is still around. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week!
That is a nice piece of handwork!
ReplyDeleteAs cap and hat lover (owning more then a few including tweed ones) I can only appreciate this post but must admit that I have never before heard about Hanna Hats.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful story. It's good to see family firms still going strong.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Interesting history behind the Hanna Hats. I am hoping you have some photos of the interior to post.
ReplyDeleteI would like to have a hanna hat, especially this morning since I will have to shovel the driveway clean after a vicious snow storm overnight. I have seen the term "bespoke tailor" before but I have no idea what it means. Perhaps you can enlighten me.
ReplyDeleteBespoke clothing is traditionally cut from a pattern drafted from scratch for the customer, and so differs from ready-to-wear, which is factory made in finished condition and standardised sizes, and from made to measure, which is produced to order from an adjusted block pattern.
DeleteThank you sir!
DeleteSmall family businesses are usually much better quality items.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting post. Thank you Bill~
Hi Bill.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Bill that this old craft is still being used.

Beautiful frame and interesting information.
ReplyDeleteI have a Hanna hat, a beautiful tweed billed golf style hat. I hadn't bought one in Ireland and regretted it. I picked this one up in an Irish shop in Victoria, B.C.
