"Had an AMAZING experience at Rustler! My husband set up an appointment for a custom hat as a Christmas gift and it was perfect!

"Hands down one of the BEST experiences we’ve had! We’re in town celebrating our 18th anniversary and had to make a stop here — so glad we did! We had the pleasure of working with two of THE BEST people: Bren and Ms. Paula! This was my first cowgirl hat, and my husband wanted something totally one-of-a-kind — and that’s exactly what we got. We’re from Texas and bleed burnt orange (Hook ’em 🤘🏽), and Ms. Paula made it happen with a Longhorn design right on top of his hat! Bren helped me create the perfect hat just for me. Both were so patient, creative, and made the whole process unforgettable. It’s truly an experience — not just a purchase. 10/10 highly recommend! Left with two amazing hats and two new besties! 🤠💓"

"Came here with a group for a bachelorette trip and had the best time! Shout out to Axel and Gracie for being so fun and personable. I am a big fan of places that allow their employees be themselves. I felt no pressure to make quick decisions and had plenty of time to pick exactly what I wanted for my hat! I added my dog’s name ☺️ I come to Nashville pretty often and will definitely be adding Rustler to my list of recommendations for friends and family who want to visit!"
