Gear Up Northwest

We offer western, Australian & ladies fashion hats

  Hello and WELCOME to GEAR UP NORTHWEST
and thanks for dropping by

We offer hats and accessories at competitive prices. We carry Akubra, Barmah, Bullhide, Charlie One Horse, Dallas, Head n Home, Resistol, and Stetson brand hats.

Many people have seen us at trade shows as we traveled all over the Western States  with our products. We have been selling our fine products to customers from all parts of the world since January 1993.

Our website has always been informational and for posting our show schedule, not for ordering directly as we were traveling doing over 30 events a year. Now that we are semi-retired, we are listing some of our hats for sale on eBay. If you would like a hat not listed, email us the hat brand and style you would like, or a photo of a hat you would like one shaped similar. You can pick it up if in our area, or we will ship it to you.

CLICK HERE to email us; gearuphats@centurytel.net and we will be able to answer any questions about product availability, shipping, sizes, colors or any other information you may need. If you wish to speak to us, leave your phone umber, and we will call you back.

Many of you have visited our vending trailer 

Others have visited us in our indoor booth

It all started in 1992 part time, doing small festivals selling out of this pole tent selling the Australian ‘WalkAbout’ hats. After a few festivals  bought an EZ-Up.

Became a full time business in 1993.  The entire booth fit in my Subaru Wagon. Then started getting hats from other suppliers when we opened in a mall and had our gear in a store in Eatonville.

We enjoyed traveling and doing festivals better. Soon only sold at events.

Ordered the vending trailer in 1995, took 4 months to have it built, arrived in 1996. Still in great shape and still being used for our outdoor shows.

                   Our Bunkhouse Hat Shop

For those in our area or passing by, we have a hat shop on our propety next to our house where you can try them on, and where I steam and shape hats. We’re located between Eatonville and Elbe WA on the way to Mt Rainier.

Email us at: gearuphats@centurytel.net for an appointment and directions.

We hope you enjoy touring our website and please stop by our booth when we are participating in a show or festival in your area and say “hi”. It’s always nice to meet new people and see old friends again. We love the friendships we have formed over the past decades doing various events throughout the Western States. Many people stop by and say “hi” even when they are not making additional purchases.
