Wirth Hats

Press and the vendor's own story page identify Ben Miller as founder of the Vancouver-based company in 2018; no acquisition or outside investor was found. Corporations Canada's federal register has no match for Wirth Hats; BC's OrgBook lists an active BC company, Wirth Ventures Inc., registered the same day as the related Wirth Foundation, but the register does not confirm this is Wirth Hats' operating entity, and the provincial BC Registry search itself did not render for direct lookup.

The vendor's FAQ and product pages state hats are made and hand-finished in Vancouver by a local supplier, with many steps done by hand.

Single-site business: the company operates out of one office in Vancouver, BC, which also serves as its pickup and holiday retail location.

The vendor names the materials (cotton twill, 8oz wool felt, a leather strap) but not their country of origin, and no press or registry source fills the gap. Canada has no domestic wool-felt hat-body industry, so blank felt hoods are assumed imported and finished in Vancouver; the split across EU, US and OTHER is an estimate reflecting where wool felt hat bodies are typically produced, with a small Canadian share for local finishing, trims and the Shopify storefront.
