about me
// hatmaker
I am Krystof, the maker behind Black Tide Hats, a custom hat studio in Prague dedicated to honest craftsmanship and timeless design. I create handmade, custom-made hats for people looking for something more personal than an ordinary hat.
Every piece is designed and shaped by hand according to your style, preferences, and vision, from classic fedoras and western hats to unique one-of-a-kind pieces.

// the story
Black Tide was born from my love for the ocean, freedom, and doing things the honest way. I never wanted to make just “products,” but something that feels alive and carries a story.
I want you to feel the craftsmanship when you touch it, wear it, and live in it. These hats are handcrafted to become part of your journey, not just something you put on your head.
// our ethics
I believe in making things with intention. Every Black Tide hat is handcrafted from 100% rabbit fur felt, with respect for the craft, the people who wear it, and the world around me. I use recycled materials wherever I can and waste as little as possible. No perfection. No greenwashing. Just honest work, one hat at a time.
Human made. Always. No AI-generated designs, no AI-made graphic bullshit, no shortcuts disguised as creativity. Everything you see comes from human hands and human ideas. Imperfect, personal and alive.
material
Quality without compromise. I use premium 100% Rabbit fur felt, crafted by a czech manufacturer whose tradition dates back to 1799.
Over two centuries of craftsmanship, knowledge and experience woven into every piece. No cheap substitutes, no compromises on materials. Just honest quality, made to stand the test of time.
