I'm Gilberto Lazo, ska musician and hat maker. I was born on November 21, 1971 in Caracas, Venezuela. Since I was young I was interested in fashion and expressing my personality through the clothes I wore. While pursuing my musical career in Venezuela and later in the United States, I began to experiment with hats as a way to add a unique touch to my stage outfits.

I quickly realized that I couldn't find hats that would fit my style and personality perfectly, so I decided to create my own designs. I learned everything I could about millinery, from the selection of materials to the construction and finishing of each piece, and thus my passion for creating custom and unique hats was born.

Over time, I began creating hats for friends and fellow musicians, and received an overwhelmingly positive response. From there, I launched my own brand, "Hat by Lazo", where I create high-quality, bespoke hats for anyone looking for a unique way to express their personal style.

In my hats, I combine my love of fashion and music, and I am proud to offer handcrafted pieces that represent my creativity and style. My goal is to create hats that not only complement any outfit, but are also a form of personal expression for the wearer.
