Coleen has blocked two Stetsons for me in the past. She does wonders and is just fun to talk to. I've learned a bunch about my hats, and hats in general. The last time in she put the measuring device on my head to prepare for my next hat. Planning to call her in March and order the hat we discussed. I'm excited and can hardly wait! The best thing about it, I'll have the hat I receive from Coleen for the rest of my life.

The most incredible custom cowboy hat was made for me by Coleen at ``Cowboy Up!`` I'd rate 5 stars and A+!

I was referred to Cowboy Up by Rockmount Ranch Wear. Coleen is a fantastic hat maker and individual. She fixed my broken cowboy hat and made it better. Her shop is full of custom and original designs. My next cowboy hat purchase will come from Cowboy Up Hatters.

Great quality hats, custom made to your preferences. Worth it! At Cowboy Up Hatters, Coleen is a master hat maker with 30 years of experience. She makes western hats, dress hats, and fashion hats. Although I had a fairly good idea of what I wanted in a western hat, Coleen was able to guide me in the finer details to ensure I had something that would suit my lifestyle, personality, and would look natural.
