VISUAL METAPHORS V1 3Y3S2C • Secret Pocket Snapback
PRODUCT INFO
MATERIAL
• Material: Polyester / Satin
• The polyester used in this hat is made with RPET - this is a sustainable, biodegradable fabric made from high-quality recycled plastics. Re-purposing these plastics keeps them out of landfills and groundwater, which is a win for the environment.
• Exterior has a tightly-woven texture with a subtle sheen. This fabric was chosen for its ability to hold its shape over time - this means it will look new for much longer than the average hat.
FIT/FEEL
• Circumference: 18-25 inches
• Can be adjusted using the snap to fit your preferences
• The hemp content in the exterior insulates better than pure cotton or polyester, keeping you warmer/dryer in cold/rainy conditions
DESIGN
• Features: Rubber molded logo, double snap, hidden pocket, woven label, braided rope over bill
METHOD
Multiple techniques are used to create these elaborate works of art. Graphics are applied using a combination of embroidery, screen-printing, and sublimation. The fabric is then cut, shaped, and sewn in layers to form the hat.
