Smith Lake Hat Company opened for business in the summer of 2023 with the idea of creating a staple source for quality custom headwear for the lake community.  They started simply with what they felt was the best symbolic beacon advertisement for Smith Lake Culture:  "the hat."  Our team first began to see the hats on Instagram, then Facebook, and soon we found them in a local store.  

Young owner and entrepreneur Jase Glasscock is excited to give the local market something new to check out in their shopping experience.  He has taken all the proper steps to be sure that his brand is one you'll be proud to wear.  He formed his LLC, procured the development of the first logo, selection of products and materials, and has started with a logo developed for the first run for 2023.  He tells us he is leaving the door open to change up the look and feel of his logo and designs to keep up with changes in styles and fashion as the passage of time requires and as he feels necessary.

The company seeks to grow from hats to other apparel items.  Since our team first began watching them online in summer 2023, they have already gone from offering the traditional baseball style hat with open weave back and front leather patch with embroidery on the sides, to a summer straw surfer-style hat, then to heavier materials for the fall and winter season for warmth, and have even added another straw "gambler" hat, as well as a hat for the ladies, and a line of sunglasses we have recently found on the website.

The company is excited to provide a branded experience of Smith Lake culture with fashionable headwear styles that exude a pride of the lake for locals and visitors alike. Their hats will include patches (leather patches, color leather patches, etc.), embroidery, print and even some new styles of PVC.  You'll have to watch as they slowly roll out the lines over time.

​They intend to provide the highest quality end product for their customers. They take great pride in every hat that ships out or sells in a local retail store.  At current, you can find them not only online to order for shipping, but also at the following retail stores:

• The Lake House Store - Arley, AL
• Sweatmon's Produce - Crane Hill, AL

​The Lee Brothers, Matt and Jordan, are Cullman natives who have made their fishing career dreams come to reality. At an early age the Lee brothers had a passion for fishing. They would fish at their grandparents' house, off of docks, the boat, wherever they could cast a line. Competing from an early age, as most brothers do. And that has not changed - this weekend they have competed against each other in the Bassmaster Classic.  Let's cheer them on this last day, in hopes they return home with high placement!   Check out the Facebook page for Bassmaster:  ​https://www.bassmaster.com

The Lee’s last competition day is today, placements announcing in hours - they are in Greenville, South Carolina on Lake Hartwell fishing in this Bassmaster Classic. They have been in SC for over a week getting ready for the competition. They are only the 4th set of brothers to fish the Classic out of the 48 years it has been established. Jordan won last year receiving huge heartfelt congrats, especially from big brother Matt, after the announcement. They have a fantastic support system headed up by Matt’s fiancé, Abby Myrex, and all their friends & family, and fans far & wide.

Be sure to look for an upcoming article about Matt Lee, and his journey to the Classic, in our Spring edition of The Lakeside Life Magazine. We might even share some fun details on his proposal and upcoming wedding to Abby Myrex as well! Stay tuned!

See ya lakeside!
