Hello. Welcome to the Sacred Feather
web site. Sacred Feather is a retail store specializing in
hats and leather goods. Our hats run the gamut from
baseball caps to collapsible silk top hats, with a broad range of
styles in between. We feature some of our best sellers at
this web site. We also sell both manufactured and hand-made
leather goods (our mix is about 80% hats and 20% leather
goods). Click on "Leather Goods" on this
page for a sampling of the leather items we offer. The
manufactured goods we offer are primarily domestically made and
although we do not make everything we sell, we know what to
look for (and what our customers look for). We take pride
in what we sell and make. At 417 State Street, Sacred Feather is right in middle of
the action. State Street is in the heart of downtown Madison, with the sprawling University of Wisconsin (40,000 students) at one end of the street and the State Capitol at the other end. The street is
located on an isthmus between two beautiful lakes and offers an
eclectic mix of funky shops, restaurants and outdoor cafes with
dining and entertainment providing an unending shopping
experience for visitors and locals alike. Here is a map of
our geography for those unfamiliar with the area.
Established in 1975, Sacred Feather
began as a partnership between Paul Henry, a CPA from North
Carolina who was looking for his Utopia and a business to realize
it with, and Tony Badame, a loan officer from Chicago who was
“losing interest” with banking. Paul and Tony
began as push cart peddlers with a vending cart on State
Street. They found a basement location after a month or so
and opened for business as a craft shop offering hand made
leather goods, jewelry, pottery, artwork, and a few hats.
After five years in business together, Paul left the partnership
and settled in Portland Oregon. Sacred Feather, now owned by Tony
and his wife Annie, is housed in a rustic sandstone building,
built in 1884. The shop is set back a bit from the street
and was once a tailor shop and then a lingerie shop for 30
years. Now a hat and leather shop, the building has the
look of an old boarding house (rooms are still rented upstairs)
and on cold winter days you'll find a fire blazing in the small
(formerly coal-burning) fireplace. At Sacred Feather we
don’t just sell hats, we stand behind them. We want
our customers to look to us for the fit, style, and care of the
hats we sell. We specialize in hard-to-fit sizes and offer
brand name products for men and women. We also showcase a
number of handmade women's hats at our shop, most made by local
artists. Browse the hats offered at this site and mail or
fax us an order -- or stop in when you're in town. We are
