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

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.

Welcome back to the second part of this explanation series and I hope everyone had a great weekend! Apologies for no content posted over the weekend but was shredding with the homies on a little boarding mission to Martok in Chester, NS.

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

  • Plastic Clip Closure

  • Aqua & Buckskin Stitching

Only two remain, available HERE

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.

Olive Corduroy Cap

Hello Crew,

This is not a hat explanation, more so an information update.

The 5 Panel isn’t everyone’s thing, and I get that, it’s hardly my thing anymore, obviously, it used to be, considering the minor mass quantity of handmade ones all over this website. People always were asking to switch it up, so I have, and the reason it’s coming so late in the game is that I wanted to perfect the design of them.

Here are the first available ‘Standard Leisure Caps’
there is a limited quantity of this material,
made to order HERE for yew,

by yew:

thank yew.

where yew to?

where yew to Jake O’Doyle?

30cm of snow is dropping,

but we’re still gonna get silly,

and send it.

trip out to this why don’t yew

Here’s a design that I whipped up this morning.

Just something a little simple, easy line work, used the stroke tool and hit it with dashed line segments and multi-direction arrowheads, neato color schemes and transparent backdrops.

where Yew to?

let me know what yew think in the comments below

be the best yew today!

“Olive,
Poor thing,
Sits and thinks
That it's drab.
Sure does.
Sits and sits and sits and sits and thinks
About its olive drab drab.”

Welcome to the half-way point throughout your week, and thank yew for tuning in for a hat explanation.

About a year ago I got home from living/traveling Australia for the year. Leaving for that trip I didn’t want to stop creating, so I packed an additional piece of luggage full of fabrics, hardware, threads, and some critical sewing essentials. Once established, I found a beautiful Singer Golden Touch on Gumtree, went and sent to it. This range of hats was designed from two beautiful combinations of grade-A fabrics.

textile 1: Lightweight Olive Woven Cotton

textile 2: Cream base, Scarlet / Gold / Beige / Olive Paisley

  • Yew Woven Label

  • Accented Front, Underbrim and Adjuster

  • White 4mm Eyelets

  • YKK Slide Adjuster

  • Olive Thread

In the Australian winter of 2018, living in a small beachside apartment on the Gold Coast, fourteen of these beautiful olive and paisley printed hats were designed at 3 Redondo Ave, 4220, Miami.

I give yew,

That it is about to be named color of the year
By those with the nose for the new,
By the passionate f’yew.

Turntquoise

it’s the weekend and its Saturday night.
there some feelers for the fevers and fienders.

sharpen the skates, time to get lit up.

completely pitted, wake up in the snowbank
two blocks from your place.
________________________________

thank yew for stopping by on the first of February for an explanation.
this design was a custom ordered project from 2018. the project began by a customer specifically choosing a fabric I had in stock, and what a dandy she done chose. Using a 25 sq. in. factory sample there was enough fabric to create two custom hats:

a beautiful, heavyweight, woven turquoise cotton/polyester blend.

  • Yew Woven Label

  • White 4mm Eyelets

  • YKK Slide Adjuster

  • Teal Stitching

Patagonia x Yew

found at a thrifting pop-up, sick, classic hipster pick-up line bud.

but seriously, it's honestly pretty slick.

real cool, medium weight, faded purple dyed Patagonia denim longsleeve.

alas, it had to be repurposed, because it was a chicks, and I'm a dude, and now it's a recycled yewnisex hat for all, well just one, because there will only ever be, just, one.

Featuring a Yew Sport Enhanced 5-Panel template this hat features:

  • front panel pocket stash

  • faded purple dye

  • 4mm white eyelets

  • YKK slide adjuster

  • Patagonia coloured brim stitching

I am writing this as a disclaimer;

I don't own or work for Patagonia,
I'm just a guy who recycled/reclaimed an old shirt
and happens to be a weapon on a sewing machine.

SRT-Beige

It’s Tuesday, my favourite day to blog yo!

because on tuesday, yew get to find out more about the hats i, zamboni jabroni, create.

so what happens when yew’re thrifting around the local value village and ya come across a curtain; one can only assume was own by a 1980s steezlord. yew buy it, and you turn it into an amazing limited released hat drop.

this was a super fun project. heaps and heaps of thus said curtain was purchased and dismantled into its raw original fabric form. there was enough material to create a set of 15 up-cycled pre-owned curtain hats.

a quite neutral beige cotton/polyester blend, with snazzy accented, multi-coloured brush strokes. homies, were talking teal, we got dat magenta, hit em with the crimson red, dashes of orange, streaks of white, blotches of black, oh and if you look close enough, there’s some splatters of gold. like seriously, what absolute beauty had this gnarly thing draped in his foyer?

with the original Yew woven label on the front panel, black 4mm eyelets, and the ykk slide adjuster to close the hat. 15 hat’s were created, each and everyone were completely yewnique to the colour of their swatches, tis’ now just an old memory as they no longer exist on any shelf and currently reside on 15 beautiful human minds.

without further ad’yew, the SRT-Beige; savage, ruthless, and toothless.

Hand Gestures

Thank yew for stopping by for another edition of a design explanation.

back when i used to be drawing more often, back when i didn’t even know what illustrator was, back when i used to be travelling around, back when i used to be the feller i was then, i was actually sketching quite a bit there then.

any how, back in 2016 i found myself leeching wi-fi at an amazing library in Wellington, New Zealand. back when i was sketching like i was saying earlier, i sketched out a series of common hand gestures. these were quite detailed sketches, maybe something to be proud of yew know? got em all sketched out, and then hit them with some watercolours.

years later, i learned to make vector files and expanded my mind into digital. so these sketches were then imported and rendered and did some cool little edits to the finger nails to void them out. put in a repeated graphic in the background and boom!

here are the sketches and the graphics:

Violets are Yew

Welcome back to another hat explanation!

This one dates back to 2017 and was released in the spring as part of a week long floral tribute to celebrate the season.

Only one was designed, with the possibility of a few more with the little amount of fabric left over.

A completely lightweight sport material, deep navy polyester, with miniature floral print, red roses, pink and white daiseys, and of course yew violets. With the signature OG yew woven label on the front panel, and white 4mm eyelets on the sides, and custom matching plastic clip closure.

Just writing this intrigues me to re-use the rest of this fabric, so if it also sparks your interest send me a message for first dibs.

and remember

Roses are red, and violets are yew.
