The QUEEN of Cowboy Hats - Shorty Koger (EP 96)

It’s time for another episode of Tom McCutcheon’s The Show—and this week, we sit down with one of the most respected and inspiring figures in the western industry: Shorty Koger from Shorty’s Caboy Hattery. 🎙️🤠

From humble beginnings to becoming the go-to custom hatter in the business, Shorty shares her incredible journey of building her company from the ground up—by herself, with grit, resilience, and a whole lot of heart. We talk about where it all started, the struggles she overcame, and what it took to turn her dream into one of the most successful brands in the game.

We also dive deep into the legacy she’s creating beyond the hat world—especially through Rein In Cancer, the foundation she started after losing her sister to cancer. This nonprofit has since raised millions of dollars to support individuals in our industry battling cancer, especially those without insurance. It's a true reflection of the kind of person Shorty is—dedicated, generous, and always giving back.

Plus, she shares how she went from making sandwiches and cleaning buildings to outfitting champions—and how every job she ever worked shaped her into businesswoman she is today.

This episode is full of perspective, passion, and pure admiration. We couldn’t be more grateful to share Shorty’s story—and we promise, it’s one you won’t forget.
