The Brand
Eric Javits founded his namesake label in New York in 1985 with a simple conviction: a hat should be as beautiful as it is wearable. Over nearly four decades, the house has grown from a single atelier into a globally recognized name in luxury headwear.
The brand is best known for its signature Squishee® material — a patented, packable, water-resistant fiber that allows a structured hat to be folded into a bag and emerge without losing its shape.
The Craft
Every Eric Javits piece is designed in New York, blending old-world millinery technique with modern materials engineering.
Patented Squishee® packable, water-resistant material
Hand-finished detailing on core collections
Timeless silhouettes designed to travel
Retail & Recognition
Eric Javits hats are carried by leading luxury department stores and specialty boutiques around the world, and have appeared across editorial features, runway presentations and red-carpet moments.
