To deliver customer service in a courteous, respectful manner that
ensures a mutually beneficial experience working with Biltmore.

Business Philosophy:
Within the apparel industry, Biltmore Hats Inc. has established
a legacy of quality and craftsmanship. Strong, consistent leadership
combined with unmatchable production talent in our Master Hatters
ensures continued success and a growing client base of over 800
customers. Biltmore Hats Inc. focuses on long-term business relationships

of customer service.
Our diverse customer base covers retailers, government agencies,
police agencies, entertainment industry and private labels and is
expanding as we continue to seek new opportunities that will take
Biltmore to the next level internationally.
We are in the wholesale business to succeed through the design,
manufacturing and sales of hats. We are fortunate to be able to
produce some of the finest hats in the world. This tradition, which
began in 1917, has developed with the hard work and dedication of
100’s of people. We are a team driven by a passion for the
industry and dedicated to continuing to bring new designs and products
to the marketplace.
Factory Outlet Store:
Biltmore’s long history as a successful business anchored
in the community of Guelph has been filled with wonderful moments
and many memories for staff and citizens alike. After 89 years,
it is difficult to find a Guelph native who does not have ties to
the company directly or through relatives.
In order to share our story with people, Biltmore has recently
created a museum, within our manufacturing location, featuring antique
paraphernalia, stories, Biltmore’s journey into hockey and
how it brought the ‘hat trick’ to the game as well as
an inside look into how hats are made.
For our visitors’ further enjoyment, we placed the museum
in the middle of a unique shopping experience. Wander through our
factory outlet store for great buys of men’s and women’s
sample or end-of-line hats or take some time to enjoy the fun of
simply ‘dressing up’ in the various styles.
This venture is only beginning and we ask anyone with a story to
contact our Tourist Coordinator, Bette Stoddart at shop@biltmorehats.com
to ensure that it is recorded in our Biltmore Book of History for
sharing with those visiting the Outlet and Museum.
If you are looking to book a shopping tour, please contact Bette
at 1-800-265-8382 to arrange the details.
Buses are welcome with FREE parking on the street right in front
of the door. Please note that there is a step into the store that
is manageable, with assistance, for wheelchair accessibility.
We also offer a limited number of plant tours each year. Call for
details.
Hats on for a great day! Hope to see you soon
