What to know about The Salt Ranch

Hats are the whole thesis

The core product is hand-shaped palm leaf hats woven from Guatemalan palm; tees, flannels, rings, candles and home goods fill in around them.

Fittings happen by appointment

A Ventura showroom offers by-appointment custom hat fitting and shaping, so the hats can be shaped to the wearer rather than bought off a shelf.

Old California ranching meets surf

Founded around 2019 by Laura Fullilove with Thom Hill, the label works an "Old California" ranch-and-surf look, including seasonal palm hat projects with Ventura's Iron & Resin.
