yew, yew, yew & yew

I apologize for the lack of content, but sometimes hat-making can get quite exhausting - both physically and mentally. So I had the opportunity to travel to the Cayman Islands at the start of March with my two top homies Phil and Johnny.

Amongst having one of the greatest times ever, a revolution emerged.

The Pinky Pointer, can be used for pretty near anything you want to put your attention on or direct it towards. The true multi-functional finger. Step aside index finger, your time is over. Point this way, point that way, get his attention, get her attention, their attention, everything is more enjoyable when the pinky gets goin’.

Use is gently, snap it off from the hip firmly, use the top of your thumbs knuckle as a scope and snipe people out, hold your drink and point with it, it’s cool. We don’t know why, but it is easy and very effective to use. Try it out for free, for the first week, and let us know, or if you see me out and need a further explanation, lessons are free.

Look how happy everyone is:

The moment yew’ve all been waiting for has arrived, well, maybe not the moment everyone’s been waiting for, but if it is and what I’ve been bloggin’ catches your attention, then yes dude, send it! Let me know in the comments [that stuff really makes my day and helps me design even more, such blessings.]

This is the chicken dinner! The third and final hat of this ‘Aquatic Paisley Adventure Trip’ yew has been taking yew on. Best in Show at the regional fair, the prize gem, da stee mon. This hat features the arrangement of the previous two builds, the beautiful vintage paisley print, and the aquamarine textured woven cotton.

To further its radness, custom seam tape was made from the paisley fabric which lines the guts of the hat and closes in the back where a ponytail can come out of if yew have one. One of my all-time favorite threads ‘buckskin gold’ laces the entirety of the hat, as well as the YKK slide-adjuster.

This is the third, and final set of five:

• Vintage Paisley Cotton/Polyester

• Vintage Aquamarine Woven Cotton

• Yew Woven Label

• White 4mm Eyelets

• Paisley YKK Slide Adjuster

• Paisley Seam tape

• Buckskin Gold Stitching

Only two remain, available HERE

I give yew,

Paisley Power

The paisley design was commonly associated with rebellion; it was a statement of non-conformity, a welcome alternative to the preceding sober mod fashion trends. It was the perfect print for the androgynous hedonistic counterculture of the hippies.

The hippie look is strongly linked to the psychedelic "Summer of Love" when 100,000 people came together in Haight-Ashbury, a district of San Francisco, California to share their common beliefs such as rejecting consumerist values and encouraging pacifism.

Paisley patterns and other fabrics from around the world helped encourage a spirit of multiculturalism and, for the wearer, were visual statements of this principle.

This hat features a beautiful vintage paisley print, which incorporates both small and large paisley combinations and floral attributes to the print as well. To further amplify its rad-ness, the fabric is screen printed with gold ink outlining certain features of the textile.

Heavy on the Teal, a faded Purple, a nice blush Red, and hints of Rose, Beige, and Black.

This is the second set of five:

• Vintage Paisley Cotton/Polyester

• Yew Woven Label

• White 4mm Eyelets

Aquadood

yew can catch him at low tide when the moon’s in full charge.

water shoes and jean shorts, no shirt and gold chain,
jet black mullet reflecting the last rays of the setting sun,
protected by the plastic lenses of his fake Oakleys.

he scans the sand with his Quantum XT.
for hidden bounty, lost treasure and wedding bands,
alas, nothing, as he lights up another dart,

the aquadood.
