About

Disco Swell

Greetings from 1975. 

Disco Swell was born on California’s coast and built in Telluride.

Embracing it’s roots, Disco Swell is its own genre unifying coastal and mountain culture.

Disco Swell handcrafts custom hats from scratch in Telluride.

Each hat is made by hand by using the tried and true traditional handcrafted methods - from hat blocks, sewing in leather sweatbands and sculpting each hat’s shape.

Free-spirited and cultivating authentic community through inclusive self-expression and unisex timeless style.

Bootstrapped company co-founded by two sisters, Caitlin and Hanna Sappington. Made local. Limited small batch production.

Kind Words

  • “Disco Swell is the custom hat spot. They take such an extraordinary amount of detail and care from A to Z when approaching your hat.

    Super flexible, very quick turn around, truly customizable, and the highest quality hats.”

    -Parker S.

  • “My entire experience with Disco Swell has been incredible.

    Caitlin is so detail-oriented down to the last stitch. When my hat arrived, it felt like the most customized piece that not only exceeded my expectations, but it also fit perfectly as well.

    Whenever I wear a Disco Swell hat (which is everywhere!), people always stop me and want to know where I got it!

    I own a 50X, Panama Straw, and am about to place an order for the stunning River Hat.”

    -Elise M.

  • "I absolutely adore my black 50X tear drop from Disco Swell. This hat has travelled with me to numerous locations around the US!

    It's my absolute go-to and is my most complimented accessory piece! Caitlin and Disco Swell team's attention to detail is absolutely unmatched.”

    -Sydney M.
