Lavonna Shorty Koger started Shortys Caboy Hattery in 1990 in the historic Stockyards City, OK. Over the last 20+ years, she has built quite a name for herself in the horse industry. Determined that nothing was going to stop her, Shorty has the only woman-owned and operated custom hattery in the United States. Growing up, she had a passion for horse life being a rodeo cowgirl from the age of 14. Soon Shorty grew to love making quality hats that are now worn by many who are well-known in the western world, including horse show and rodeo winners and even country music stars. Known for their handcrafted stitching, fun designs/colors, and impressive detail, Shortys hats are unique and of incredibly high quality. Dont believe us? Try one.
