This dapper little cap was shipped just before the EU released new shipping regulations. The idea behind these new rules is to reduce needless packaging materials, a concept I fully support. However, these new regulations essentially make it impossible for small business to ship to EU countries. The fees would simply be cost prohibitive. I fear the impact on artisans and craftspeople globally. Real, hand made art has so much more meaning, tradition and value than mass produced items.

I have always had a reduce/reuse mindset in regards to all materials, both personally and professionally. This cap was shipped in a clean, reused box with minimal packaging, just as I have always done.

The print on this cap is a herringbone pattern typically seen in wool fabrics, however, it is made out of a linen/cotton blend that is nice and breezy for spring, summer and early fall. The fabric was sourced in person in NYC. I find it important to see and touch all of my fabrics before purchasing them so I can insure the quality and weight of the fabric. The proper weight is essential for a cap like this.

I have created this pattern myself in a wide range of sizes. Creating a pattern in each size can take many hours. For a cap like this, it is necessary to first drape fabric on a wooden head to approximate the desired shape, then transfer it to paper to create a paper pattern, insuring that it works out mathematically, then cutting it out of fabric and sewing it together to test the shape that was created, and then repeating these steps as many times as necessary until you achieve the exact shape and balance you are looking for! These are some of the skills that require years to acquire that go into creating a wide range of hats, using different materials!
