The Grit behind the Grace

Life on the farm means facing every kind of weather — and in South Dakota, that usually means wind that cuts straight through you. I got tired of doing chores with the winter air blowing in my face, wishing I had something warm but still stylish to wear.

My father-in-law has always loved his old ear flap hat. It’s practical — the longer bill keeps the wind and sun off his face, and the flaps protect his ears and neck. The problem was, when I looked around, there wasn’t anything like that made for women. Nothing cute. Nothing that felt like me.

So, I decided to make my own. And that’s where the story of Grace ’n Grit begins.

The name itself comes from our little girl, Navy Grace. She’s a blonde-haired, blue-eyed spitfire with hilarious grit — the kind of girl who can light up a room with her smile and then keep everyone on their toes with her determination. She’s the perfect reminder that grace and grit can live side by side.

That spirit is what I wanted these hats to carry: a balance of toughness and beauty, built for real women who work hard, live western, and still want to feel stylish. Every hat is fleece-lined, adjustable, and designed to cover ears and neck without sacrificing look or comfort.

What started as one hat for myself has grown into something bigger — a way to give women the same practicality the men have always had, but with a style all their own.

Grace ’n Grit isn’t just a hat. It’s a little piece of our family, our lifestyle, and our belief that women deserve gear that works as hard as they do.
