I’m Parker Orms, owner of 'Hats by Parker Thomas', where I’ve had the privilege of crafting high-end hats for celebrities and high-profile clients. My journey in hat shaping is deeply rooted in my family’s legacy; I’m a third-generation hat shaper, having learned the craft from my father and grandfather.

Now, I’m excited to introduce Hat Masters, my new venture dedicated to training aspiring hat shapers. Through Hat Masters, I’m eager to share my knowledge and experience, helping others start and grow their own hat shaping businesses.

My goal is to pass on the art and passion that have defined my career, supporting the next generation in this timeless craft.

Owner of Hats by Parker Thomas, Co-Founder of Hat Masters

As an entrepreneur, I've been fortunate to spot and address gaps in the world of hat craftsmanship. Observing the decline in skilled hat shapers and the surge in enthusiasm to learn this timeless art, I've dedicated myself to training and empowering the next generation of master hat shapers.

With over 50 years of experience, I am honored to pass on the rich tradition of hat shaping and the cherished values of exceptional customer service.

My mission is to equip you with both the intricate skills and the enduring principles that have defined this craft for decades. When you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life.
