High n’ Wide is more than hats.

I’m a fifth-generation Montanan, raised behind a hardware store in a small Rez town in Montana — making art and growing up a little sideways from the story people expect.

My family history runs deep before me.

Montana came with my lineage.

In the winter of 1996, Montana saved my life.

After a season of hardship, my mom, my brother, and I came back to Montana. A winter storm came down so heavy we couldn’t leave again. Roads closed. Everything stopped. And in that stillness, Montana gave us the space to realize this was our home — and always had been. We could be okay.

Free under the Big Sky.

I didn’t grow up ranching or outfitting, but my love for this place was inherited — and earned. Through a place that didn’t just shape me, but challenged me. Here, my family grew.

Now, as a mom of two and a wife, I’m building a life rooted in dedication, creativity, and adventure. I care for a small garden and farm, love live music and good food, and spend as much time as possible outside with family and friends. I wanted a hat that could follow that kind of life — quality enough to work hard, creative and playful without being excessive. A hat for all of life’s adventures.

High n’ Wide isn’t a costume of the Northwest.

It’s made by a Montana girl who wants the best for her state, the original people of this land, nature, and her family — as she raises the sixth generation to carry it forward.
