Premium Wool Felt Hats
Style Backed by Real Craft
Khaan Quest is an American hat brand based in Los Angeles, working closely with certified Australian wool farms and facility overseas. We design and craft headwear with style that’s backed by real quality — pieces that not only look good, but also hold their shape through real, everyday wear.
At Khaan Quest, we use natural, sustainable material with innovated shaping and finishing techniques to ensure each hat keeps its structure, comfort, and clean silhouette over time.
Our Mission
We aim to create premium wool felt hats that last — with respect for the land, the hands that craft them, and the people who wear them.
By choosing natural, responsible materials and designing for longevity, we reduce waste and build a more sustainable way to live.
Our Material
Khaan Quest use 100% Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certified wool — sourced only from ranches that prioritize animal welfare and land stewardship. The wool we source is fully traceable back to ethical farms across Australia.
No mulesing. No cruelty. No overgrazing.
Natural, recyclable, biodegradable, and renewable — wool is a material that works with the earth, not against it. We choose materials with intention — quality for you, responsibility for the planet.
Our Process
From start to finish, it takes 52 steps, 98 craftsmen, and 6–8 quiet weeks to make one KQ hat. We believe something made to last should never be made in haste. Scroll to discover how your hat is made at KQ.
Wool Cleaned and Prepared Gently
Raw wool is gently washed using a filtered water-cycling system, reducing environmental impact while keeping the natural loft and softness of the fibers. Your hat starts clean, comfortable, and true to its natural feel.
Precision Felted for Shape & Strength
We use a refined precision felting process that interlocks the fibers more uniformly, resulting in a hat that holds its shape, keeps its structure longer, and has a cleaner, more defined silhouette.
Enhanced Water Repellency, Without Harsh Chemicals
Our hats use a fluorine-free water-repellent finish that makes light rain roll right off—no soaking, no dark stains. The coating is non-toxic, breathable, and keeps the wool soft.
Reinforced Brims and Fine Stitching
The brim is reinforced and finished with tight, careful stitching so it won’t collapse, curl, or lose structure even with frequent wear. Built to last, not just to look good.
Individually Checked, One by One
Before leaving the workshop, every hat is checked individually for shape, surface finish, and comfort. We ship only what we’d be proud to wear ourselves.
