Navajo-LD

According to Navajo tradition, weaving is the most ancient and sacred practice of their people. Two spirits, the Spider People, brought hemp seeds to the Navajo. Spider Man taught them to make the loom, while Spider Woman taught them how to weave so that they could always provide for themselves. From this, the entire Navajo conception of society, balance, harmony, and prosperity was founded. In this history, we see that weaving actually rivals farming or hunting in terms of importance to the Navajo.

Good Tidings yew all! Thanks for peeping by to check out this hat explanation.

This cap was an extremely fun project for a few reasons. One, an old friend commissioned the build for his brothers’ birthday. Two, if yew know me, I have slight issues with self-diagnosed OCD, and the pattern of this fabric really made me think hard about the initial cuts. Three, ultimately the look and feel of this fabric. This fabric came from my local Value Village, and buddy, I got yards and yards of this material and I am so grateful because it is so stee! So if this hat interest yew, I can recreate it, or turn it into a Bucket Hat or 5-Panel.

Ultimately, and I know I say it a lot, but this is an all-time favorite. I found it back in 2016 and it’s honestly been sitting in reserve until a time when I deemed necessary to use it. Well, the time is now, as I am very confident in my sewing machine skills and design techniques. I wouldn’t consider this a denim, but it does honestly have the feel, weight, and look of it. The colors featured are mainly a washed-out black, a beautiful violet, faded red, cream, and teal.

Upon researching some history about the Native-American Navajo tribes, I came to find out that their people believed they came through some sort of reversed reincarnation. Going through separate stages of life until eventually becoming humans. What brought them through these ‘underworlds’ is what they considered their deity ‘The Supreme Wind’ who gives life to all things on our earth.

That being said, and being a hat-maker, I named this hat as a pun. When a gust of wind comes along and you are wearing a cap, the common phrase we all know growing up; hold on to your hat. Navajo-ld on to your hat m8.

• Vintage Navajo Pattern

• Yew Leather Circle Emblem

• Black 4mm Eyelets

• YKK Slide Adjuster

• Black Stitching

I give yew,

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,

- Steve Gill, making deals with his local hat dealer.
________________________________

Let me first introduce yew to the legend above us here, Steve Gill, sporting the first hat he purchased from me years back (Proxima Midnight). Since 2017 this guy has been supporting me and I can’t begin to tell yew how truly blessed I am to have befriended him since meeting him the day of his original purchase.

Couple months ago, Steve had wanted this cool hat I made a post about it, alas, the hat was on someone elses head. I suggested to him a similar style of fabric and proceeded to custom design a custom hat just for Steve.

This hat features a heavyweight cotton, with a super stee olive-gold colour with a sheen to its fibers.

• Upholstery Grade Textile

• Yew Woven Label

• White 4mm Eyelets

• YKK Slide Adjuster

• Buckskin Gold Stitching

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,

Aquatic Paisley d’Or:

wig out with your wigs out, toupée, more like yewpée!!

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.

- Patrick Moriarty

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

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.

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,

OP-Redondo

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

yew.
