All the Florida vibes…
As natives to these far reaches of the South, our design preferences lean into our Florida roots. We cover the range of styles from proper Florida cowboy to city nights-inspired dress-wear. Our legacy hats are often adorned with exotic leathers from invasive species we personally hunt in the Everglades & Florida Keys. Our boots are made with a balance of rugged elegance, suited for the swamps and city streets alike. Our accessories & designs are inspired by our native flora & fauna, our history, and a local haunt or two. Even with only a handful of hat-makers left in America, there’s still only one ‘Til Death.
Holler when you’re on the way.
Making hats is an odd job made for odd people and odd hours. Feel free to shoot the shop a message anytime - chances are that if we aren’t there, we’re probably down the street having a cafe con leche and just a hop-skip-jump away. We are Ybor-famous for indulging in midnight coffee sessions, so even a late night message can’t hurt.

EVERY CREASE & EVERY STITCH PLACED BY HAND.
One of the only hat-makers in the Southeast, Ash Dudney received training from the legendary milliner Tom Hirt, who is best known for creating the iconic felt hats for the movie Tombstone (among countless other Westerns over his more than four decade career). Taking quickly to Tom’s penchant for the traditional, every ‘Til Death hat is made with a time-tested balance of grit & finesse.
Made in Ybor City, ‘Til Death Hat Company is a one-of-a-kind hat shop where we make truly custom felt hats by hand with a blend of Western & Southern style.
Contact us to book a consultation.

If you’re looking for a pair of boots that’s worthy of both the backroads of the Everglades and the sidewalks of downtown, ‘Til Death boots are your beau. Construction guaranteed, our Florida-designed & Spanish-made boots use the finest materials with rugged builds made to follow you along whatever path you may take.
Contact us to set up a consultation to create a custom pair from one of our iconic styles.

Even hats built to last have bad days, especially the more well-traveled they become. If you’ve got a special piece that longs for its days of former glory, give us a shout so we can rehab your felt for you. We offer color restoration, reshaping, reconstruction, and have a few more tricks we can pull to save your iconic headwear.
