In this guide, we are going to go over every hat that you can buy from Hat Mouse. Rather than having access to all his hats, you will need to unlock them. Some of the unlocking requirements take a long time, so you will be able to get new hats as you progress through the game. First, let's take a look at how to unlock Hat Mouse's shop.
Unlocking Hat Mouse
Prior to visiting Hat Mouse, you will need to unlock his shop. Fortunately, this is easy, and you should be able to complete this within the first or second season.
For Hat Mouse to appear, you will need to complete one achievement. There are many achievements for you to collect over the course of the game, with some more difficult than others. Below, you can find a list of simple achievements that you can unlock early in the game.
- Greenhorn: Earn 15,000g
- A New Friend: Reach a 5-heart friendship level with someone
- D.I.Y: Craft 15 different items
- Fisherman: Catch 10 different fish
Once you have completed your first achievement, Hat Mouse will send you some mail telling you that his shop is now open. His location isn't mentioned, so let's take a look at where you can find him.
Where To Find Hat Mouse
Hat Mouse's location isn't well marked on the map. He will set up shop in the abandoned house in the south part of Cindersap Forest, which cannot be found on the map.
Below, you can find the route to hat mouse starting from Marnie's Ranch.
- From the ranch, head left towards the lake.
- Keep heading left until you are in the area with the Wizard's Tower.
- Once at the tower, head south.
- There will be a thin section of land that curves to the right.
- At the end of the section, you will see the abandoned house with Hat Mouse inside. Talk to him and buy a hat!
Hat Mouse's shop will always be open. If the Festival of Ice or Flower Dance is happening, this area will be blocked off and you cannot talk to Hat Mouse. During every other festival though, you can still speak to Hat Mouse.
Hats Available
Now that you've made it to Hat Mouse, let's go over every hat that he sells. These hats will unlock depending on certain achievements. Additionally, each hat will cost 1,000g. Below, you can find each hat, as well as the achievement associated with it. As you will see, these hats are meant to be gathered over the course of the game. Many of these achievements will take a few in-game years to complete.

The Straw Hat and Sailor's Cap are not tied to any achievement. Instead, you will have to participate in the festival events. Winning the event will reward you with the hat, but you can buy additional copies from Hat Mouse.
Lastly, you will be able to place all these hats on yourself, as well as on your children, your horse, and rarecrow 3. To do so, walk up to the object/person with the hat of your choice selected in your inventory. Interacting with object/person will place the hat on their head.
That's every hat available from hat mouse. Be sure to stop by every once in a while to buy the new hats you unlock!
