Need a Kentucky Derby Hat? Stockton, California Company has Your Head Covered - KTXL

STOCKTON—

As the horses and jockeys prepare for the 138^th Kentucky Derby, hat sellers are cashing in; including Dorfman Pacific in Stockton.

The annual event at Churchill Downs happens Saturday afternoon, and fans of horse racing and fans of fashion will be hosting Derby-watching parties across the country.

Dorfman Pacific has been selling hats in the official Kentucky Derby Museum store for several years. But California Derby fans can get a fashionable hat a little closer to home.

“For women, the bigger the better. The flashier they can be, the happier they (the women) seem to be,” Douglas Highsmith, CEO of Dorfman Pacific told FOX40 from their Stockton storefront.

He also said they have been selling a lot of fascinators, which are not quite a hat, but more of a headband, or pin with feathers, veils or fabric attached.

 The company’s creations range in price from $24 to $200.
