Tennessee is playing a very visible role in one of the hottest shows in the country’. They aren’t up on the screen themselves, but chances are, you’ve seen their work.
The Winchester Hat Corporation has hats on the show “Yellowstone.” This is far from the first time their work’s been seen in such a high-profile project.
What the factory designs and creates is what’s called hat bodies. They’re shipped from Winchester to custom hatters across the country.
On a wall in the factory are pictures of Kevin Costner and Kelly Reilly wearing a variety of the factory’s hats. Both Reilly and Costner star in “Yellowstone.”
This isn’t the only time Hollywood has come knocking…their hats were worn by Jim Carrey in “The Mask,” and by Clint Eastwood, Paul Simon and Lady Gaga.
There will be a new movie coming out, called ‘Oppenheimer’ and some of Winchester’s hats are featured in that show!
The factory isn’t just making hat bodies for movies. A lot of their business is hats for highway patrols across the country and for Army drill sergeants.
