________________________________

This was a custom ordered project from a newly befriended homie, Fletcher Sayia, The Spice Lord. Sometime back in December Fletcher had come across my designs in a storefront window in Hoboken, NJ. Where my products can be found for sale in an art gallery owned by the Roig Collection Family. Fletcher had made his original purchase in Hoboken and reached out to me directly over the phone to chat about his next purchase and a custom order that he and his daughter could sport together.

Fletcher is one of those rad guys who truly supports and emphasizes the importance of small businesses and purchasing true handmade quality to keep guys like me and other artists afloat. I can always count on receiving a dm-slide throughout the week, fire emojis on my insta-story content, and the occasional Whatsapp to check in on me. Truly blessed to have met this legend and all the hype he brings forward in my craft. An honorary Yew Crew member, and cannot wait to link up and shred a surf in NJ once all this global corona madness settles.

This pair of hats was made for himself and his two year old daughter, Reece:

• Thick Woven Upholstery Grade

• Yew Woven Label

• White 4mm Eyelets

• YKK Slide Adjuster

• Ivory Stitching

I give yew,

Golden Gill

when’s a good time to come and get it, and how much moula?

- 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

One of One
Completely Yewnique for Steve,

I give yew,

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

________________________________

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

I give yew,

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.

Thanks for checking in! This is the first of the next three hat posts. Along with the fabric in this hat, the fabric in the next post to come, and the combination of the two, a limited set of beautiful hats were created.

Fifteen 5-Panel hats, five of each style,

This is the first five:

• Vintage Aquamarine Woven Cotton

• Yew Woven Label

• White 4mm Eyelets

• Plastic Clip Closure

• Aqua Stitching

Only two remain, available HERE

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.

Turntquoise

it’s the weekend and its Saturday night.

sharpen the skates, time to get lit up.

completely pitted, wake up in the snowbank

________________________________

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

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.
