Owner & Hatmaker

Josh Beesley

Snake River Hat Company was founded in Weiser, Idaho, by Josh Beesley—a devoted family man, father, outdoorsman, horseman, and craftsman with a deep passion for the Western way of life.

For Josh, hatmaking is not about mass production. It is about listening to the person who will wear the hat, understanding how it will be used, and shaping every detail to fit that person’s life.

Whether he is horseback in the hills, spending time with family, enjoying the outdoors, or working at the shaping table, the same values guide him: hard work, integrity, patience, and pride in a job done right.

A Western Life

The maker lives the brand.

The hats are designed for ranchers, rodeo competitors, horsemen, outdoorsmen, working cowboys, and anyone who appreciates real American craftsmanship.

Each one is shaped with the belief that it should look better as it earns its story—not worse. It should hold its form, carry character, and become more personal every time it is worn.

Made in Idaho. Inspired by the West. Built for the weather.

From the banks of the Snake River to wherever your journey takes you—wear it with pride.
