Green Crimplene

a wonderful feeling for fashion, as leading houses have already discovered. It looks pleasantly weighty, yet feels light as a feather. It feels soft, yet can take any amount of wear.

Hey yew all, thanks for checking in on today’s hat post.

This hat features a vintage fabric that can date back to the late ’50s called ‘Crimplene’. It is a type of synthetic polyester yarn used in all fields of fashion in Britain until the ’70s. It was a great lightweight, a no-itch polymer that kept its shape and proved to be wrinkle resistant. Check out the sweet-ass weave of this fabric though, it reminds me of some sort of arctic lime green tiger print or something! meow!

There wasn’t much of this fabric to begin with - so it makes this hat ever more of a gem. There is a 2016 prototype I made for my father and another in Berlin. These are the most recent four that were designed this past November.

  • Vintage Green/White Crimplene

  • Yew Woven Label

  • White 4mm Eyelets

  • YKK Slide Adjuster

  • Emerald Stitching

These four are available right HERE

I give yew,


GREEN CRIMPLENE
