Over the past few years, hat design has become one of my passions. I was always into hats as a kid and teenager so it makes sense. From a design stand point this hat below is one of my favorites. I sourced the fabric from a tiny company in MA run only by a wife and husband. Â The fabric was made and printed in USA which is becoming rare. With only seeing a 14″ x 14″ swatch of the fabric I decided to go for it without making an actual sample of the hat. This was pretty risky considering it was the most expensive fabric per yard we have bought to date. We made a total of 200 pcs; 100 5-panels & 100 snapbacks. When we finally got them our jaws pretty much dropped. When we released them they got a ton of press and we sold out over the weekend. Couldn’t hope for much more than that!
