Distinctive Hats, A Little Off Kilter Long Stocking Caps, Jester and Costume Hats

Welcome to MountainGoth — where whimsy meets the enchanted forest, and every hat has a story.

Nestled deep in the great northern woods of New Hampshire, MountainGoth is a workshop of wonder. I design and handcraft whimsical headwear for those who walk between the worlds—fantasy lovers, history buffs, mischief-makers, and dreamers of all kinds. Whether you are dressing for a Renaissance faire, a theatrical production, a costume ball, or just your own joy, my hats are meant to spark smiles and stories.

At the heart of MountainGoth is my commitment to handmade quality, comfort, and customer happiness. Each hat is carefully constructed not only to delight the eye but to withstand real-life wear. These hats aren't just for show—they're built for everyday use. One of my gnome hats even journeyed the entire Appalachian Trail atop a hiker's head!

My smoking caps and nightcaps, while rooted in traditional design, are also cozy companions for modern life. They're perfect for lounging on winter nights, bringing a touch of old-world charm to your evening rituals.

Many of my designs are inspired by folklore, fantasy, and historical costume, from jaunty jester hats to classic nightcaps, elven hoods, and gnome crowns. I also welcome custom orders, because I know that sometimes what you need isn’t on any shelf—yet.

When you shop with MountainGoth, you are supporting not just a small business, but a lifelong love of creativity, playfulness, and personal expression. I hope my hats bring a little wonder into your life—and make you feel more like yourself, in the most delightful way.

Handmade in the USA — From the North Pole to the Antarctic, worn around the world.

answers to some questions you might have.
Does Mountaingoth do custom work?
Yes, I do make custom hats, if you see a hat you like but it is the wrong size, color length, please contact me and we can see if we can work something out. I keep over 500 bolts of fabric on hand so I can generally have a quick turn around.

I need more than what is showing in available inventory, can I get more?
Please contact me, I can often provide more of any style, I make all these myself and I keep the materials on hand to make more.

What fabrics do you work with?
I mainly work with cotton jersey, cotton fleece, cotton flannel, polyester fleece, sherpa, faux fur, and stretch velvets. I do keep these fabrics on hand.

Can I change the trim on the hat?
Yes you can, I don't attach the trims till just prior to shipping, So you can change that pompom to a bell or a tassel, or even just leave it plain, there is an upcharge on some trims, just contact me.

Can I get the hat for a baby or small child?
I do not make hats for babies and young children. Fabrics for the 3 and under group, need to be treated with a fire retardant, which my fabrics do not have this treatment. Also the pompom, bells and tassels are a choking hazard, so I've decided to stay out of this market.

How long does it take to ship out.
I strive to ship before the end of the next business day, however in the really busy seasons around Halloween and Christmas it might take a little longer. Custom work please ask.

Can I get overnight shipping?
Overnight shipping can be provided by Fed Ex. The US postal service does not offer overnight shipping. If you need it that quick, please contact me with the ship to address and whether or not it is a residential or commercial address, so I can get a quote.

Do you offer a discount for large orders?
If you have an order for 10 items or more contact me and I maybe able to offer a small discount.
