hen Trent Johnson bought Greeley Hat Works in 1996, he vowed to not change a thing—at least as far as the manufacturing process was concerned.. Johnson approached the task with the same meticulousness he brings to his haberdashery, even spending two weeks with the cast—including Kevin Costner, who plays ranch owner John Dutton—just to better understand their personalities. The result? Each hat is a miniature character study. Dutton’s signature 10-gallon, for example, is lighter in color as an ode to old-school Westerns in which the good guys wore white, but Johnson also used a confidential 17-step process to give the cap a worn look that symbolizes Dutton’s willingness to get his hands dirty (like when he killed his maimed horse in the series’ iconic opening scene). Although the last five episodes of the drama were set to debut on Paramount Plus this month, they have been delayed until 2024. Fortunately, you can crib the Dutton family’s style while you wait: Greeley Hat Works has been making replicas of s lids since 2020.
