A special hat for a special person. It’s a tall modern hat with rural vibes. A conversation starter.

After spending years in search of quality straw, I’m excited to share what I’ve settled on! This fine straw hat is woven in Ecuador using dried strands of native toquilla palm. The diamond shaped “brisa” weaving pattern takes the skilled artisans several days to complete but the result is a very strong and beautiful material. The rest happens here in my workshop in Joshua Tree. Each hat is steamed and pulled over custom wooden blocks before being cut, sewn and adorned. They are then hand shaped (by me musician/hatter Todd Fink [The Faint]) to transform them into something truly unique and aesthetically satisfying- no two will be identical.
