This hat is named after the mountain next to our Recapitate workshop. It’s great for hiking due to its wide brim and handy chin strap. It can get windy here in the desert! This hat can be made with no leather or any other animal products. Chin strap is optional.

After spending years in search of quality straw, I’m excited to share what I’ve chosen! This fine straw hat is woven in Ecuador using dried strands of native toquilla palm. The diamond shaped “brisa” weaving pattern takes the skilled artisans several days to complete but the result is a very strong and beautiful material. The rest happens here in my workshop in Joshua Tree. Each hat is steamed and pulled over custom wooden blocks before being cut, sewn and adorned. And of course they are hand shaped by me (“musician”/hatter Todd Fink [The Faint]) to transform them into something truly unique and aesthetically satisfying. No two will be identical.
