🗣️ Yo!

Here’s a sneak peek at what I’ve been working on 👀
Being raised in the Secondline culture since ’72, I’ve always known one thing — Custom HATS MATTER! 🎩 It’s more than fashion — it’s history, pride, and identity stitched into every brim.

That’s why I’m proud to introduce my new line: “Sunday’s At The Secondline.” Inspired by the streets that raised me, the music, the movement, and an old photo of me parading with General Legion out the 6th Ward — this collection is built on legacy.

🔥 The drop is coming soon! Limited release. Crafted with care. Made for the culture.

Which One Is Best for you out of Wool, Rabbit or Beaver?

*Choose Wool Felt if: You want an inexpensive costume piece, a casual occasional hat, or a low-budget item and do not plan to get caught in bad weather or wear it heavily. (Note: Most professional hat makers like Baron Hats will not clean, reblock, or repair wool felt.)

***Choose Rabbit Fur Felt if: You want a sharp, lightweight, everyday or urban hat with a refined finish that handles light weather, breathes well, and offers a great balance of quality and moderate cost.
• Choose a Rabbit + Beaver Blend if: You want an upgrade in weather resistance and durability over 100% rabbit, without paying the full price tag of a pure beaver investment piece.

***Choose Pure Beaver Felt if: You need a true daily workhorse, spend significant time outdoors in heavy rain, dust, or snow, or want a “forever hat” that will hold its shape and last for decades. taken in New Orleans, Louisiana by @igobyhercdahatter

Key Visual Characteristics

• Crown: Features a lengthwise center crease (teardrop or diamond shape) with a sharp, pinched front on both sides. The crown height is typically medium to tall.
• Brim: Features a moderate width with a finished, bound edge or raw cut. It can be worn snapped down in the front or leveled all the way around.
• Band: Adorned with a matching black grosgrain or satin ribbon band wrapped around the base of the crown, sometimes finished with a small bow or feather.
• Material and Texture: Traditionally made of stiffened fur felt or soft wool felt with a smooth, matte finish. #sundaysatthesecondline #hatfashion #hatmakingforbeginners taken in New Orleans, Louisiana by @igobyhercdahatter
