How He Started
Mr. Javits got his education at the Rhode Island School of Design but designed his first hat for a friend in the late ’70’s who wanted to get past the door of Studio 54. Back then, even money couldn’t really get you in — you had to have “the right look.”
She was ushered in at the top of the line and Eric’s career was born! At least that’s how the story, goes.

Eric Javits opened his women’s hat business in 1985 and in 2005 he launched the Squishee® hat (you’ve probably seen copies). This hat is a “crushable” that can be rolled up for travel.
