Peters Bros Hat company

Peters Brothers is downtown Fort Worth they opened in 1911 . www.pbhats.com. 909 Houston Street, Fort Worth Texas 76102 . Phone number 817-335-1715

A full hatrack of presidents has received “Shady Oak” Western lids that were originally fashioned for former Star-Telegram Publisher Amon Carter Sr. Inside the crown of every one of the custom hats are the slogans “The Texas Hat” and “Where the West Begins.” The company was founded by Greek immigrants Jim and Tom Peters in 1911. They got their start in business shining shoes in Waco during an annual festival, and with $600 in savings, they opened a shoeshine parlor in a tiny wooden building in downtown Fort Worth, according to the company’s website.

During World War I, business was so good that they expanded and had 36 men shining shoes on two shifts. The brothers also operated a hat renovation department.

In 1921, Tom Peters learned how to make hats while working for John B. Stetson in Philadelphia. He then returned to Fort Worth and started making custom hats.
