About Us

Who We Are

Founded in 2023, LoKey Hat Co. is dedicated to crafting stylish and custom hats that blend timeless craftsmanship with modern trends. Our hats are designed to complement any lifestyle, from rugged ranch days to carefree moments at the beach.

In April 2024, our founder, Candace Nanke, achieved the prestigious title of Certified Hat Master through Hat Master Wholesale & Training in Denver, CO, solidifying our commitment to delivering exceptional quality and expertise in every design.

The name “LoKey” reflects our deep family roots. It pays homage to LoKey Ranch, a sprawling 1,500+ acre property in the heart of Middle Tennessee, owned by Billy Bloomhall. The ranch, managed by a dedicated team we proudly call family, is home to grass-fed beef cattle, working cow horses, herding dogs, and other animals.

Pictured are Jess Delfs, Candy Nanke, and Amanda Boge, whose shared vision has shaped LoKey Hat Co. into more than a brand—it’s a celebration of style, tradition, and the spirit of the ranch.
