Welcome, and thank yew for stopping by to check out this blog post.
One of my longtime favorite streetwear brands has always been Stüssy. I would consider them one of the oldest and still current brands that continue to spark my interest in everything they release. A brand that inspires me to design, as well as influence found throughout my designs.
Years back I travelled to Australia and New Zealand, during this trip I acquired a select few of Stüssy’s ever-famous Rayon Surf Shirts. In 2013, Byron Bay, Australia I purchased the vibrant red Double Paisley print. In 2014, Raglan, New Zealand I purchased the off green and black stripe River Camo print. In 2018, Gold Coast, Australia, I found the black Bones print in a Salvation Army.
Each of these shirts holds many memories and have all seen about a dozen countries, but, it was my pleasure to use them in a project that tested my creative design to a new level and which produced an ultimately cool release for all my fans and following.
I was able to create a Standard Street 5 Panel and a Boonie Bucket Hat with an extended brim out of each shirt. Using the accessories found on each garment I was able to add some cool features to each hat. Using the breast pocket for a back pouch on the bucket hat, and the buttons as eyelet replacements. Each hat also comes equipped with an adjustable chinstrap for them windy days b’y.
