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.
