Play the Hand You're Dealt

Handcrafted custom hats for the working cowboy, the rodeo hand, and anyone who plays a rough hand and sees it through.

Rough Hand 2/7 mark
The Deuce 7
The Worst Hand, Played Right, Still Wins.

In poker, the 2 and 7 off-suit is the worst hand you can be dealt. But in the right situation, played correctly, even that hand can be won. That's the idea behind the Deuce 7 — the 2 atop the 7, conjoined.

It's about playing the hand you're dealt like it's the one you wanted. No bluff, no fold — always see it through, no matter how big an underdog you are. And it's about the rest of it too: hard work, calloused hands, determination. The working cowboy, the rodeo contestant, the friends and faces I grew up around — many of them what most would call "a hand."

All of it came together into what Rough Hand Hat Co. is meant to be about.

It's not the cards that matter — it's how you play them.
It ain't about how you start, it's how you finish.

The Maker

Raised in the Saddle

I was born and raised in the Pee Dee and Low Country regions of South Carolina. Since birth, horses have been a large part of my life — I spent most of my childhood traveling the Southeast for horse shows of all breeds and disciplines.

As I got older, I drew closer to the traditions and culture of the rodeo and the working cowboy than the show ring — using horses to do a job, whether cow work, ranch work, or hunting. The need for quality gear and tack, paired with the absence of local options, led me to take up leather work, and later, hat shaping.
