ABALOS UNDAE

Welcome to another hat explanation.

Today’s cap is called Abalos Undae, and here’s the scoop:

This one was developed in the Summer of 2017,
It was my first approach at designing a collection of a set of hats.

It’s another snazzy floral print that was picked up at a second-hand shop,
A wonderful and vibrant light blue cotton base, which features a wild flower design,
Accenting darker and lighter shades of blue, white, lemon chiffon and kobicha brown.

‘Yew’ Diamond Leather Emblem, 4mm White Eyelets, Plastic Clip/Nylon Closure

A total of 15 hats were designed; 10 in full floral print, and 5 with a Peruvian Brown Brim.

The name ‘Abalos Undae’ comes from a dune field found on the northern pole of Mars,
the basaltic colours of the dune field produce this vibrant light blue, along with the cool discovery
and the dopeness of this floral pattern, the name was easy to choose.

Check it out HERE, still a few available.

Church Parlour

Welcome to another hat explanation.

Today’s cap is called Church Parlour, and here’s whats up:

This was one of developed in April of 2017
This was a part of a series of 7 hats designed during the week before Easter.

It’s a beautiful floral print that was retrieved from a local thrift store fabric section.
A totally extravagant pattern, great source of primary colours that makes the hat pop, laid out on a forest green backdrop.

Signature ‘Yew’ Woven label, white eyelets, and custom back strap clip closure to boot.

A very limited release, only a select few to be made.

The name comes from what I remember my old churches parlour couches looked like

Lacoste

Welcome back, and thanks for checking in!

This was a fun one to do.

Lacoste has always been a favourite brand of mine.

What I really enjoy doing with this brand is creating pun-like designs.

Here is one of many more spin off graphics in my portfolio.

Wasao Murasaki

Welcome to my first Hat Explanation post.

Today’s cap is called Wasao Murasaki, and here’s the scoop:

This hat was made in the summer of 2017.
It was designed for a Japanese friend of mine Katsuhisa Wasada, better known as Wasao.

Wasao and I first met at a restaurant/bar we both were employed at.
Through working with Wasao, I found out that one of his passions and past times was photography.

You can reach his website HERE

That summer, Wasao was kind enough to tag along with a group of our friends where a
photoshoot was held at Greenwich National Park, displaying clothing and other hats designed for
the summer of 2017.

Because of his outstanding craft, he helped me document all of the hats I created that summer,
and truly helped me further extend my brand into what it is today.

Wasao being his name, and the colour of the hat is purple, Murasaki being the Japanese translation of that color:

WASAO MURASAKI

Quadryewple

Here is one of the graphics that you can find printed on the summer apparel release.

I took each letter that builds up the word Y E W.
Aligned them by perfect rotations of 45 degree angles

After I had arranged each letter, I mirrored the graphic into its’ consecutive quadrants.

From there it took some minor tweaking to line up the letters serifs to create the final design.

Named this one QuadrYewple, hope yew enjoy.
