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.

Holla @ Me

wolves, who isn’t a fan?

perhaps one of the most majestic creatures to grace us in this world.

canis lupus, canis l’yewpus.
________________________

there are two fabrics used in this creation.

firstly, what are wolves? well this was already established prior, majestic.

wolves have long coats of fur, which makes them; secondly, soft.

this is why at yew supply co, we carry suede-like, plush textiles to completely customize any hat what ever the circumstance, and in this case to coordinate the grandeur of a wolf pelt.

________________________

this is what you would call a super rare fabric, holographic if it could, if you would.

donated to me by one of the sweetest ladies i’ve met in my life, who originally used the fabric to make pillows for children in need. thus, with the little amount that was given to me, two hats were created.

this is one of them:

• cotton/polyester wolf print

• thick tan brown suede

• Yew woven label

• white 4mm eyelets

• ykk slide adjuster

Where did you come from?
What are you doing here?
Canis Lupus!
Vulpes Vulpes!
I don't think he speaks English or Latin.

Yewniverse

Thanks for stoping by for another design talk;

pondered by many scholars and philosophers throughout the middle ages, and the occasional modern day dingdong in the belief that the Earth was flat. well they were incredibly wrong, we all know that - it’s not something too new, yew?

but is the Earth spherical, is it round? Well before Columdingus sailed the ocean blue for North America, Aristotle along with his other Greek scholar homies theorized the globe, if you will, to be round. Newton further ran some tests to suggest the Earth was more of an oblate spheroid, still round, but the ol’ gal got some chunk at the equator, because its’ poles are being boot stomped by space rapidly spinning our blue marble.

the Earth, the World, and even Space, man, it’s pretty complex, so how does it make sense that we can just be a dang spheroid? so, Dan, what are you going on about here? i’m not really sure either, but it came to me in a trip:

we live in a multi dimensional lemniscate earth, where multiple replicates of earth continuously interject and interfere, as well as augment a singular yew; otherwise known as the yewniverse.

peace be with yew.
and with yew
and yew
and
yew.

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.

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.

Coral Waves

Welcome to another hat explanation.

Today’s cap is called Coral Waves and this is the scoop:

Designed in May of 2017, only 3 of these were made. It was reclaimed from a set of old placemats.
Try not to look too hard at the pattern of the fabric, you might start to wig out!
Checkout how the background of this fabric is composed of hexagons and its foreground some type of crazy ‘wave of corals’.
