About Us

Founder and owner, Chase Dender, began his career as a classically trained hatter in 2021 as an apprentice in Nashville, TN. After three years of experience, Chase decided to launch his own company that focuses on sustainability, inclusivity, quality, and exceptional customer service.

Dender was founded on the principle of honoring the past while looking to the future. I aim to honor the great hat makers who have come before me by remaining true to the process that has become somewhat of a lost art. I focus on sourcing the highest quality materials and invest my time in making every hat by hand, from start to finish.

Dender aims to honor the timeless elements of the western wear and handmade fashion industries through a modern approach.

Dender offers 100% beaver and nutria fur felt custom and one-of-a-kind hats.

For anyone, anywhere.
