Yewnity
Welcome to another segment of me blabbering ‘bout how I create hats.
At this point I hope the majority of this following enjoys/appreciates these explanations - and if you do I would love if you commented your thoughts/opinions in the comment section below.
So here we go - this weeks hat explanation is dedicated to my ability to repurpose unwanted nothings into something incredible! The fabric that this was built from came from a set of old, old, old placemats. Unfortunately when I first started I didn’t document the raw materials before the hat process began. What made this project so important to this brand was it’s complete ‘Yewnique'-ness. There was only 4 small placemats in the bundle - which only allowed for a single hat to be manufactured.
Designed in the fall of 2017; this hat has a white cotton/polyester base showcasing a Olive ‘Toile’ pattern.
Toile is a beautiful pattern as designed by the French in the 18th century; its’ pattern usually contains figures of those dressed in 18th century garb and aspects of agriculture and its surroundings.
I called this hat ‘Yewnity’ as portrayed by the pattern of the fabric; each panel contains a different segment of the print, where individuals seem to be chillin’ and seeming to be having a sick time. I’ve included original photos as well as product shots in the slide show.
Signature ‘Yew’ Woven label, 4mm white eyelets, and custom back strap closure.
