Hanna Hats of Donegal Ltd

Hanna Hats was founded by David Hanna in Donegal Town in 1924. David initially focused on tailoring suits, and then by chance he discovered a particular interest and flair for headwear. The company evolved to specialise in designing and creating handcrafted hats and caps. David’s son John Joseph Hanna joined the business with his three brothers in 1964. Today you will find John's children, Eleanor and John Patrick, fulfilling this legacy as they continue to create timeless headwear pieces and accessories in their Donegal Town workshop.

You can visit their shop where they have a large selection of handcrafted flat caps, newsboy caps, hats, accessories and more. If you have some time, you can also enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of their workshop and learn about the passion and dedication that goes into each piece they make.

Tours are available Tuesdays at 10:30am and Thursdays at 1:30pm (March-October 2026). On their 20–30-minute tour you will learn about the history and heritage of Hanna Hats, see their skilled team handcrafting their caps & hats and hear about some familiar faces who have been spotted wearing Hanna Hats on our wall of fame, for more information and to book, please visit hannahats.com.
