hatmaker
Fedora creator's profession
A hatmaker is a person who designs, creates, or manufactures hats.
The term is straightforward and descriptive, covering anyone from artisans crafting custom pieces by hand to workers in hat factories.
Milliner is a near-synonym, though it traditionally applies specifically to makers of women's hats and carries connotations of fashionable or elaborate headwear.
The hatmaker adjusted the brim before declaring the piece finished.
