Leather and brads now available at: http://make-one.co/kits_findings/ !!

Complete the look with this sophisticated and earthy cabled hat! This design was inspired by a close friend from New Orleans. He wanted a hat that would keep his head warm AND get him the ladies. I love anything with dual duty, so I was more than happy to oblige. :) The leather band provides a visual break between the brim and the crown, and gives interesting textural contrast against the cables, which are worked without a cable needle (yay!). Pair this hat with a button down and jeans for a grown-and-sexy look.
