In 1924 David Hanna Snr. started a small
tailoring firm in the townland of Donegal on Ireland’s north-west coast. By the
early 60’s David recognised that the demand for tailored suits was declining
and the business needed to take a new direction. The Hanna Hat as we know it
today was born in 1964. It took 4.5hrs to craft, and was given the name “Hanna
Hat”. Style no. 84. And so the story of Hanna Hats began with the business now
starting to specialise in the design and production of handcrafted hats and
caps.
In 1974
David’s son John took over the management of Hanna Hat’s ensuring the tradition
and quality of his father’s work was retained. Today, the business is run by a
third generation of Hanna’s as John’s children Amanda Jane, Eleanor and John
Patrick have the passion, drive & commitment to ensure Hanna Hats has a
bright future ahead.
What has
never changed is our great respect for the age-old tradition of bespoke
tailoring. This has played a major role in the development of our modern range
of handcrafted headwear. Holding any Hanna Hat or Cap you can clearly see that
the quality tailoring of past craftsmen has been retained completel.
Hanna Hats
of Donegal are unique in every way. All of our hats and caps are our own
designs. We use the finest Donegal tweed (pure new wool) woven exclusively for
us. These designs are assembled by our dedicated team at our factory in Donegal
Town. Each Hat or Cap is a little piece of Donegal brought to life.
