About Us

Howdy! We’re Gracie and Luca — founders of Howdy Hat Bar MKE.

What started as a creative spark between two Milwaukee locals (who just happen to be in love) has grown into something bigger than we ever imagined. We launched Howdy Hat Bar MKE with one goal in mind: to bring people together through creativity, connection, and a touch of personal flair.


More Than Just a Hat Bar

At its core, Howdy is more than just a hat bar—it’s an experience. Whether you’re designing a custom trucker hat at an event or building one online, we want every piece to reflect you. We believe in self-expression, meaningful moments, and creating keepsakes that last.


Giving Back to Milwaukee

But our mission doesn’t stop at great hats. We’re proud to call Milwaukee home, and we’re deeply committed to giving back to the city that’s given us so much.

For every trucker hat sold, we donate a warm winter hat to a local Milwaukee charity. Our dream? That every unhoused or underserved person in our community has access to a warm hat during the cold months. It’s a small gesture that, together, can make a big difference.


Thanks for Being Part of the Story

Whether you're rocking a custom design or inviting us to your next event, you're helping us spread warmth—one hat at a time.
