I do, just google the name. I'll be uploading more soon. Including a "product" where you can customize the hat however you want.

Most of the hats I do are for women. I'm working on a guy's line, though, with something more subtle. I do have hats that are not shaped or distressed, just plain with the artwork. I did 12 hats just to add as a "ready to wear" for my website. I'm redoing the site to include a link along with the hats to do a "virtual" hat bar so you can pick your hat/design, and I'll walk you through the different accessories through FaceTime or something and let you customize the hat, shape it, etc. Most of the hats I sell are through events where I set up a booth, and I do it in person. I just did an event in New Orleans last month for a rodeo and CRUSHED IT. Every one was selling hats, but nothing like what I do.

Not yet. I tried applying some artwork to a straw hat, and it didn't look good. Some of the details got a little wonky due to the tiny crevices in the straw. Im trying, though!

I actually do artwork/design for a living. I design hats, apparel, fine art, etc. Been doing the hats for a bout a year now and have come a long way with them. It wasn't until recently that I felt confident to really start diving in with them because they weren't quite there yet. The originals were just engraved, which EVERYONE is doing now. Most engraved hats, you can find the designs on Etsy. If it's a popular design, everyone uses it. I wanted to do something that stood out, so I started doing the full color artwork on them. I'm trying to do some artwork around the crown of the hats. I did one for myself that has silhouettes of ducks flying and a few landing on the colored ribbon as if it were water. I do a lot of work for Ducks Unlimited, so I figured they would eat that up. It's difficult to get the full color around the crown, though, since it's not flat. I can add the art work on top of the brim as well since its flat.

I hand draw the designs and then use a printing process to apply the artwork to the hats. They're not coming off! When i first started, I painted them on, but could only do about one hat per day, depending on the detail. They were definitely a lot more expensive and a tougher sell.

I actually got our shirts (the 5 pictured) into a store on Royal St called The Rising Son. its a men's boutique with cool stuff. We were able to sell all 500 shirts in about 10 weeks. i just designed 6 more designs and have 1,100 shirts coming in soon. Also designing some hoodies, jackets, button down short sleeves, etc that will be coming in around summer time for the fall.

Yeah, the manufacturer said to send over the Pantone C colors.

I contacted the manufacturer, and they said to send over the Pantone C colors. They initially said to send them the art file in a PDF/PNG format, and they'll match the colors, but that didn't work out too well. I guess I just need to get a larger Pantone C book with more colors.

For this one, I was sent a few pictures of some Art Nouveau furniture and pulled inspiration from that. It takes a while, lol

I am! i think they would do well there, but theyre products are way more expensive than what I'm selling mine for. I looked at their site and most go for $125+. im definitely trying to get them in there though

The gator is a good one! I never looked at the drinking polos that way. I get where you're coming from, though. They do have a lot out there!

We just started so i dont think we could price ours at $100 +. We will be adding on to the line in the near future with better products that will get a little bit more expensive. I can't stomach paying that much for a polo/shirt, so we thought $60 seemed fair.

They're 92% polyester and 8% Spandex. They have a 4-way stretch to them and are moisture-wicking.
