Heritage

Rooted in the West

For over a century, Hat Doctor has built hats for ranchers, cowboys, and anyone who lives the Western life. Today, that work continues from Verwood, Saskatchewan — every hat shaped by hand.

Charlene Berner grew up with a love of the Western way of life. She founded Quarter Circle B Hatworks on the prairie, hand-shaping ready-to-shape hats for the people who wear them every day. When she acquired Hat Doctor, she brought that craft together with one of Canada's oldest custom hat makers.
