The Street Bowler
A modern take on a timeless classic.
The Street Bowler reimagines the traditional bowler with a more circular crown and a full upturned brim, creating a distinctive silhouette with a contemporary edge.
Available in merino wool felt or rabbit fur felt, the hat is finished with petersham trim and binding and your choice of a leather or soft cotton sweatband. Matching-coloured ribbon and bow come as standard.
Each hat is bespoke and handcrafted in New Zealand, made specifically to order.
Please note:
Made-to-order felt hats have an approximate 4-week lead time. Felt colours are subject to availability.

The charming lady serving, just looked at my head and told me the (correct) size. She invited me to try on and take time wearing whatever I chose. She was a goldmine of information, and I look damn fine in my new hat. It was a pleasure to do business with you.
What a great asset to NZ and Lower Hutt this shop and factory is. The quality of the hats is unparalleled. I have purchased driving caps / paperboy caps and my favorites are the caddy caps. Looking for a mafia hat to complete my collection.
I bought two driving caps from Hills Hats, and they are exquisite. They are so comfortable and the quality is second to none. Extremely welcoming service and the whole process was easy. I would highly recommend!
Purchased a belt and a Trilby from Hills Hats. The quality is brilliant. My husband loves his gifts. Thank you for the great service.
