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

Aquatic Paisley d'Or

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.

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.

Fifteen 5-Panel hats, five of each style,

This is the first five:

• Aqua Stitching

Only two remain, available HERE

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!

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

i give yew,

Turntquoise

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.

Dankies

Yo!

It’s Thursday, and that means yew get to check out one of my designs.

Aside from shoutin’ out “yew” - one of my favourite things about starting this brand is using it for puns.

It is especially great for spinning off sporting franchises,

Here is one of many to show yew.

I also suppose if yew know me, I don’t mind partaking in da herb mon.

So check out this design I created a while back, I hope it inspires yew to roll a bat and take off.
