Alley Hats is a beloved Crested Butte boutique that reflects the charm, creativity, and community spirit of its mountain town home. Founded by long-time local artisan Scott Pfister and his partner Trixie Smith, the shop is known for its curated selection of quality hats and handcrafted goods, each chosen with care and character. Scott, who first came to Crested Butte in 1973, brings decades of craftsmanship and local pride to the business. His warm smile and quick wit have made Alley Hats a welcoming stop for visitors and locals alike, embodying the relaxed yet vibrant personality of the town.

After moving from Texas in 2008, Trixie quickly found her place in Crested Butte’s tight-knit community. A retired schoolteacher with a love for nature and people, she brings heart and hospitality to every interaction. Together, Scott and Trixie have created more than just a shop—they’ve built a space where friendliness, artistry, and a shared appreciation for mountain living come together. Whether you’re a long-time local or a first-time visitor, Alley Hats offers a genuine Crested Butte experience rooted in passion, craftsmanship, and connection.
