The Hedrick Family
Our Story
BrimPets™ are made by us — a homeschool family in Northern Colorado who loves hats, creativity, and building something together.
Who we are
A family business — for real
Hedrick Hat Co is powered by three creative siblings who love building, designing, and bringing ideas to life.
From 3D-printed BrimPets™ to custom patch hats and handmade chains, each product is created with imagination, personality, and a lot of fun.
Wesley – Creator of BrimPets™
Wesley is the creative brain behind BrimPets™. When he’s not designing in CAD or running the 3D printer, he’s experimenting with new ideas and building all kinds of crafty creations. Wesley loves turning imagination into something you can actually hold in your hand — and BrimPets™ are just the beginning.
Luke – Hat Designer & Patch Curator
Luke is rarely seen without a hat on his head (except at the dinner table — house rules!). He’s a fun-loving, adventurous kid with a great eye for design. A talented sketch artist, Luke helps choose and curate many of the patches that make each hat unique.
Sydney – Creator of Sugar Brims
Sydney brings the sparkle. Full of spunk and creativity, she hand-makes every Sugar Brims hat chain herself. Whether it’s charms, color, or a little extra shine, Sydney is always finding ways to add personality and flair to every hat.
How it started
It all started with cardboard & popsicle sticks
In 2025, Luke (age 11) created a snail out of cardboard, popsicle sticks and some markers for color. He used a binder clip to put it on the brim of his hat. "Cookie" went everywhere he did, and kids took notice.
His brother Wesley (age 13) loves to create fun 3D prints and design in CAD. When he saw all the attention "Cookie the snail" was getting, he saw a new product idea.
The hardest part was getting the clip design just right. Once he did, he found the animal designs and BrimPets™ was born.
