Timeless quality, as this is my second Hanna Hat and the first one was purchased in a little shop about 25 years ago and still fits perfectly. I needed an Irish Walking Hat and I couldn't be happier with this one. Sometimes you just have to spoil yourself with some nice things!

This is my fifth Hanna Hat and second Walking Hat. The first one is from 2014 and is still in great shape. I just took this new one to have another color in the collection. My Hana Hats & Caps are brilliant. Very durable and comfortable, especially during cold, windy and rainy days.

The Hanna Hats Walking Hat is a handcrafted Irish classic that blends timeless style with practical durability. Made in Donegal, Ireland, it features 100% wool tweed, a structured oval crown, and a modest brim—often accented with a feather for added charm.
Customers consistently praise its warmth, comfort, and quality construction. It’s fully lined for comfort and naturally weather-resistant, making it suitable for both countryside walks and city wear. Some wearers note that sizing can run slightly large, but the hat tends to mold to the head over time.

My daughter bought me my first Hanna hat while she was vacationing in Ireland last year. I loved the quality and history so much I started at Hanna Hats when I was looking for my next cold weather hat.Winters in Michigan can be a challenge but that’s no reason for not being stylish.The detail and craftsmanship is superb.I had a question about shipping and the communication was timely and very pleasant. Keep up the good work!

As a frenchman of Irish origin, I strongly desired to get such a nice traditional hat, all the more that in my city, I think that nobody has even seen any of the kind.
I already experienced it as rain-and-vind-resistant. Well, I am very happy with my new smart hat !
Thank you

I wanted a hat like this for a long time and this fits the bill perfectly. Hopefully I will get to Ireland sometime soon.
Store owner replied:
Hi John, thank you for your review. We're so glad you found the style of hat you were looking for. Hopefully you will, John, we would be delighted to welcome you to our workshop.
Very pleased - my late dad was a Donegal man and we still have family on the farm where he was born. I asked for the hat as my birthday present. It is well used!!
The green hat is my most recent purchase and I noticed that it is slightly larger than my other 2 "large" Hanna walking hats, for some reason. The green hat also had a strong dry clean chemicals odor to it that my other 2 hats never had. Overall, I'll wear it and hope the smell will eventually go away and maybe the hat will fit better if I wear my hair long. Otherwise keep these issues in mind if you are planning on purchasing a hat. BTW, the first 2 walking hats I own are nifty perfect; smell good and fit great.
I currently have 4 Hanna hats, 2 walking hats and 2 flat caps. I would describe them as heirloom quality hats with perfect sizing. I like to wear my green ones to Irish festivals and my black one all the time because black goes with everything.
