Welcome to Off The Block!

Hi I'm Georgia, the owner and milliner behind Off The Block- a quaint custom hat shop located in Cambridge, ON.

This all started with me and my dog, Dude, staring at the wall of 15 hats in my room and asking, “How the hell do you make a hat?” 

That moment of joint-endused curisoity led me to become a self-taught milliner (after courses, endless research and plenty of trial and error). It also sparked a passion for creating custom, heirloom-quality hats for people who love to express themselves through their style.

Every hat is one of a kind - we don’t do cookie-cutter anything around here. From your first consultation to the shape and fit, we guide you through every decision so you walk away with wearable art that literally doesn’t fit anyone else. 

Get the Long Story Here!

A hat you’ll carry with you your whole life, one that nobody else has, starts right here with a personal experience. Whether you walk in with a clear vision or no idea at all, you’ll walk out with something that becomes an extension of you. 

The studio is a safe, creative, judgement-free space. There’s no such thing as a dumb idea - whatever’s on your mind, we can make it. 

I’m quality-obsessed, so every piece of your hat is made from quality material, starting with genuine fur felt. Your hat can also get burned, branded, shaped or stamped into whatever you’re dreaming up. Literally.

What our clients say!

I can’t properly express how happy I am with my experience with Georgia at Off the Block! I found Off the Block when I started searching for a local hat maker that made the type of hats I was looking for. Being this was my first venture into the custom western style hat world I was looking for something that would feel comfortable for me and a custom hat was the only way to go. When I met with Georgia I told her the crazy mix of ideas I had and how I planned to use the hat, this was asking alot of one hat. I brought items to add that personal character and make something unique and left the rest up to her. The end result was meeting an amazing positive person whose passion for this craft came through in the hat created for me. It was exactly what I hoped for, a hat that I can wear everyday doing everyday tasks with personal touches that mean a lot to me. I’m so glad I found Off the Block and I can’t wait to come up with another challenge for my next hat. If you are looking for someone to create your hat masterpiece, Georgia is your person!

5 Stars – An Unforgettable Hat Making Experience with Georgia! I recently attended the hat making workshop at Off the Block, and it was nothing short of incredible! From start to finish, Georgia made the experience so special. She was encouraging, patient, and full of genuine compliments—not to mention a total blast to work with! Her teaching style made learning the ropes effortless, and I left feeling both energized and brimming with motivation. I walked in with an open mind and a willingness to try something new, but I never expected to leave with such a fire to keep creating. Georgia’s passion and expertise are contagious, and the workshop space itself is inspiring. Thank you, Georgia, for an awesome opportunity to learn, laugh, and craft something truly unique. If you’re looking to dive into a creative adventure, Off the Block comes with my highest possible recommendation.

I’ve owned a lot of hats in my life, but nothing has ever felt this personal. Working with Georgia at Off The Block wasn’t just about designing something that looks good - it was about telling a story. She takes the time to understand who you are and what matters to you, then translates that into something you can actually wear. When I put this hat on, it doesn’t feel like an accessory. It feels like a piece of my story. It’s become a part of me! And the best thing? People notice. Not just because it stands out, but because it carries presence. It’s my favourite conversation starter. If you’re considering one, know that you’re not just buying a hat. You’re investing in something thoughtfully made, deeply personal, and built to last. I’ll always be the biggest Off The Block fan! Thanks Georgia 🤠
