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.

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

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