Hats Off To Butte ‘25

It all started when…

Elizabeth Tritthart from Historic Weaving Butte was up at the World Mining Museum one day and was surprised to find they house TEXTILE COLLECTION of BUTTE! Discovering a long tradition of Hats, Whimsy and Function were common place in Butte. The function being paramount due to the mining industry here.

When Brian Mogren of Rediscoveries Vintage and Eliz met in the IBRC, a spark ignited, and the history of fashion, textiles, and Millinery (hat fashion) became a shared point of interest and passion.

The big vision has become a combination of hat building workshops all Summer and Fall, culminating in a HAT Fashion Show to be hosted at Imagine Butte Resources on November 8th, 2025. The dream becoming a hat making event yearly for Butte SIlver Bow homeless popultion.
