Dirty Billy's Hats

"Superb selection in hat styles, sizing, and price-point. Also super friendly & very helpful, too! This is THE place to go if you’re looking for your perfect hat!"

"Visiting dirty Billy’s hats is always the highlight of my trip to Gettysburg. Their selection is top notch and they have a selection for everyone from period pieces to fascinators and modern hat options. The quality of the historical hats is incredible! Fran, the woman behind the counter, was friendly; helpful; and welcoming. 10/10 would recommend for all your hat needs"

"Dirty Billy's caps are of top notch quality and made of the finest materials. I have been in the reenacting hobby for 30 years and have yet to see a more authentic or better headgear elsewhere. Bill is a great guy and doesn't mind just to chat or tell you the history of a cap. I just ordered a new kepi for myself and like every one of your hats I own, it is a work of art. My 10 year old son loved it so much, he wanted it so I ordered another one! If you want a cap that could set next to an original in a museum, then I highly recommend. Thank you for your passion for history and hat making. You sir are an artist."

"This is just an amazing place to shop. If you’re looking to purchase any headgear and want a historically accurate piece this is the place to go. I was just looking for a standard wide brimmed style hat and I found one here in a nice light gray color that I couldn’t find anywhere else. Billy was at the register and even though there were a few other customers in the store we still found time to have an awesome conversation about history and the local area. Probably spent close to an hour in here and if I’d been there by myself probably could’ve spent another hour in this place easily! Great customer service and if I’m in the market for more hats this is the place I will be coming back to. I’ve bought three here already!"

"My go-to hatter! Buying from Dirty Billy’s isn’t just a retail transaction, it’s an experience. Besides having the best customer service as well a knowledge and research of multiple centuries for each and every hat (work of art is a better term) that he makes- he spends time with me to talk the historical authenticity of the hat I’m looking for. Also his amazing sense of humor makes it just fun to shoot the breeze with as he hangs out with me as I shop in his store or when he’s set up offsite at an event. As long as he’s making hats I’m going to keep coming back here!"
