________________________________

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,

KM-Blaisley

what is it about paisleys?

something about the shape and designs can be mesmerizing.
one of the oldest dating ornaments, this shape is know as a Boteh in Persian, also has been dated back to the 9th century which further promotes is fashionable statement.

notably found on expensive carpets, fine silks, and rare rugs, how more suitable to find it on a custom series of hats, limited to those worthy of its powers imbued.
what??

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.

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.

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.

Linear Space v 1.0

buenas homies,

its tuesday, so here I am explaining another hat that was once designed, a long time ago.

it was October 22nd, 2016. The wind was blowing, and i think there were some leaves blowing around and such, as they do, in the deep end of October. Not that it even matters, because I was sitting in my studio at the time, sitting down sewing this hat I should be explaining by now, but thanks anyways for reading along.

what really shapes the world? geometry of course, come on, thats an easy one - well that’s what this hat is all about. It’s got the longest side of a right-angled triangle, otherwise known as a hypotnyewse. Gradient oriented shapes and line segments so stimulating to the eye yew might as well be in the 80’s. Violet, Pink, Teal, and Blue, on a Black cotton/polyester base, now come on.

found in the local thrift store, only enough material to make 3 hats; there’s one that I own, and the other two are out in linear space.

Linear Space v1.0

• Black Cotton/Polyester Blend

• Pink / Teal / Navy / Purple Geometrics

• Yew Woven Label

• 4mm White Eyelets

• Plastic Clip Closure
  

“A linear space is a basic structure in incidence geometry. A linear space consists of a set of elements called points, and a set of elements called lines. Each line is a distinct subset of the points. The points in a line are said to be incident with the line. Any two lines may have no more than one point in common.”


for yewr health,

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’.

Signature ‘Yew’ Woven label, 4mm white eyelets, and custom back strap closure.

PIPIOPI

Thanks for dropping by for another hat explanation,

Today’s cap is called Pipiopi, check it out:

This would have been one of the first ‘great’ hats that I personally think was developed.
At the very beginning, there were many prototypes… being a self-taught sewer I definitely found myself in many confusing circumstances, lots of frustration, and lots of giving up and mental scrambles.

But I got the hang of it, learned, corrected faults, did my research, and each and every hat produced wasn’t a failure but a learning curve. This was the hat that I could truly feel confident putting a price tag on.

This hat was developed in the Fall of 2016,
A first prototype was made for a close friend, 4 hats in total print, and one steezy one I created for myself out of left overs.

When is this guy gonna mix it up and not use florals all the time? Never, probably, my floral basket is endless, but don’t worry I’ll mix it up.

This also would have been my favorite floral print, again, it was found at a second hand store and I remember honestly losing my mind because I wanted to find a Hawaiian-esque pattern. So when I came across this whip I lost a breath. There wasn’t much of it and I used every square-inch of what there was.

A very beautiful tropical floral print, cotton/polyester blended.
Amazing colour way, deep and soft pink primarily, with egg-shell white tones, and a beautiful violet wisteria.

Signature ‘Yew’ woven label, white 4mm eyelets, and YKK slide adjuster, and custom bias tape.

So the name; I started off making hats for close friends of mine, and this one was made for an absolute legend of a human, party animal, outdoor enthusiast, barefoot guitarist, dog and cat owner, surf instructor, lover, temper on the ice, one of a kind fella, Pete Cove.

Pete was a beauty and definitely gave me some inside brand knowledge and know-how when I first started Yew and definitely set me in the right direction, whether he knows it or not, thanks brother. I even dug out the old photo of the prototype (which was probably crap).

enough chit-chat ya prob just want to see the pictures:
