About Us

“At Rafter M Hat Company, we believe a good hat does more than complete your outfit — it tells your story. It’s the way you carry yourself, the confidence in your step, the look in the mirror when you finally find the one.

Rafter M started on our back deck in Northwest Arkansas, born from a love for hats and helping people feel their best. Natalie Jo Wakefield — a hairstylist and designer — saw how the right hat could transform a look. Her husband, Zack, had spent years leading and growing businesses, but this one stood apart — it was a chance to support his wife and build something they both believed in. Together they created a place where quality hats meet genuine connection.

We proudly partner with legendary brands like Stetson, Resistol, Charlie 1 Horse, and Bigalli — doing things the right way, with honesty, authenticity, and craftsmanship you can feel.

Whether you shop in store or online, we make it personal — no rush, no gimmicks, just good people helping you find a hat that fits your life.
