HOT COFFEE

Bialetti’s 90-year-old Moka Express revolutionized coffee. We tip our hat to its iconic status with the limited edition Stetson x Bialetti Moka Induction 4.

Founded in 1919, Bialetti quickly established itself as a maker of high-quality aluminum products, but in 1933 they changed the world of coffee forever with the invention of a high-performance, low-maintenance coffee maker called the Moka Express. The iconic stovetop marvel revolutionized the way we enjoy coffee at home with a sleek, compact design that was as durable as it was elegant. To tip our hat to the Moka’s iconic design, Stetson has teamed up with Bialetti for a limited-edition Moka Induction 4 (a similar design to the Express that can be used on conventional or induction stovetops).

The elegant and lightweight coffee maker with a 150ml capacity, equivalent to four espressos or one cup of coffee is limited in number to 1,000 units, features black panels with custom pad-printed logos and two graphic panels depicting famous hats from Stetson’s 160-year history. The Moka Induction has innovative bi-layer boiler technology (steel outside, food-save aluminum alloy inside) which offers a high-performance product. The double layer of the boiler guarantees the preparation of coffee according to the best Italian tradition and allows uniform distribution of heat for perfect use on all induction hobs.

Reflecting each brand’s commitment to quality craftsmanship, the Stetson x Bialetti Moka Induction 4 comes individually packaged with a certificate confirming its original design elements were applied in Italy and will be available at Stetson.eu and select retail stores.

Limited Edition Stetson x Bialetti

To mark our 160th anniversary, Stetson continues its long tradition of artistic collaborations – this time with seven extraordinary wooden sculptures byGerman sculptor Johannes Hepp. The “Magnificent Seven” were first unveiled in October 2025 at the Stetson Store Berlin and are now going on a European tour.

The sculptures will be on display in our stores in Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Lisbon, and London. Each location offers you the chance to experience the artworks exclusively on site for two weeks before they move on to their next destination.

Each of the seven figures embodies a distinct Stetson lifestyle – from the elegant cowboy and adventurous explorer to the stylish jazz musician or the sporty golfer. Every sculpture wears a hat that perfectly captures its character. Displayed beneath life‑sized Stetson hats, these unique figures become striking personalities that mirror the spirit of our brand.

With chainsaw, chisel, and remarkable precision, Johannes Hepp transforms solid blocks of linden wood into expressive sculptures full of emotion and presence. “Under every real Stetson hat,” says Hepp, “there’s a figure that could truly live that style. The hat becomes their roof — a place of shelter.”

We invite you to discover the “Magnificent Seven” up close — exclusively in our stores. Experience the connection between art, craftsmanship, and heritage, and celebrate with us 160 years of Stetson.

Sculptor Johannes Hepp talks about his craft, his cap of choice and his seven new sculptures that celebrate Stetson’s 160th anniversary

Using a chainsaw, a chisel and other tools, 38-year-old German sculptor Johannes Hepp infuses human emotion into blocks of linden wood—one chip at a time—to create human forms that, while not necessarily photorealistic, appear shockingly lifelike. Now, he’s bringing the Stetson lifestyle to life with this anniversary collection.

What draws you to working with wood?

I love wood as a material because you can work with it relatively quickly and it still has a certain resistance. Also, it’s renewable, I can heat with the leftovers and, of course, it smells very good.

Do you have a favorite wood?

I use different woods such as oak, cherry, cedar or poplar, but for me, the most beautiful to carve is linden wood, which I used for this project with Stetson. Even in the Middle Ages, figures were mostly carved from linden wood. It is beautifully soft, rarely tears and has a very beautiful color. It also has hardly any grain, which I like.

What was your idea behind the seven pieces you created for Stetson’s 160th anniversary?

The idea was to carve a figure that captured the lifestyle of each Stetson hat. Under each real Stetson, there is a small figure that could wear the hat. Also, the hat's size almost turns it into a home, or at least a shelter for the figures. I always see my Stetson hats as a kind of roof. They definitely offer me protection. The figures themselves appear so animated, one half expects them to open their mouths and speak. Perhaps not the cowboy. He looks like the strong, silent type. It is always a challenge to give the figures a soul and something of their own. Sometimes I keep picking them up and working on them until I am satisfied.

You mentioned your Stetson, what’s your preferred hat?

I’m definitely a fan of the trucker cap. I love the quality and the style. Do you wear it in the studio? That’s a pretty big chainsaw over there. [Laughing] Yes, safety glasses and above all my Stetson cap. The visor helps to keep a clear line of sight from all of the falling chips.
