Do we create ice sculptures? NO. But we can find someone who does.
Are we aspiring haberdashers? NO. But we know a guy.
Do we combine seemingly unrelated nouns just to be mysterious? PERHAPS.

The story behind our name begins in Chicago, during the summer of 1995. A record-breaking heat wave in a city without widespread air conditioning led to a lot of outdoor living.

One evening we were eating dinner at a friend’s apartment on the balcony, but even this brought little relief from the stifling heat and humidity. A grappa-fueled joke about sticking our heads in the freezer led to a kitchen expedition. We threw ice cubes into plastic shopping bags, tied them up at the top and placed them on our sweaty brows. Eureka! The ice hat was born.

When we founded Ice Hat Creative in 2007, the invention above was our inspiration as a clear, resourceful solution to a challenge. We are committed to clear communication, creative problem-solving and producing work of the highest quality.
