A buck coming out of a bedding area gives you about a second of himself. Antlers laid back, head down and forward, legs already extended. That second is what is stitched across the front of this hat, down to the tuft of ground under him.
It is direct embroidery, thread laid into the crown panel itself. No patch, no border, nothing sitting on top of the fabric. The fill runs full color through the back and the cape, with white at the throat, the belly, and the underside of the tail, so it reads as an animal instead of a logo.
The hat around it is soft on purpose. Unstructured crown, low and easy, with no stiff front holding it upright. Flat bill. A braided rope runs the front seam above the brim, and the TUO® wave sits small on the left panel in the same thread as the rope. An adjustable snap strap closes it in back. Everything on this hat lies flat. The only thing standing up is the rack.
