Our Team
A Century of Hat Making Experience.
Founded in 1921, Dorfman Milano was born to support the growing headwear industry. In the very beginning all hats and caps were crafted by hand from our first headquarters in Oakland, California. As demand for our brands has matured over the years we expanded our operations and now manufacture much of our finest headwear in Garland, Texas.
We merchandise our headwear in our own and licensed brands including Scala, Justin, Larry Mahan, Biltmore, Dorfman Hat Co, and Cappelli Straworld. We take pride that our brands have graced the heads of celebrities such as Bruno Mars, George Clooney, and Toby Keith over the decades and it’s common to spot one our sartorial masterpieces complementing stars wardrobes at award shows.
As headwear experts, we do our best to service a wide variety of headwear verticals including outdoor, western, resort, and dress.
Today, our team continues to be thankful for hat and cap lovers everywhere. A hat may just be an accessory to some people, but our millinery community is fostered by artisans that hand make our hats and our customers’ stories who wear them with distinction. Hats off to the next 100 years!
