Artisan Craftsmanship
Each Frontier represents an extraordinary technical innovation, requiring mastery of two distinct crafts: toquilla straw weaving and rabbit felt work. Our artisans have developed specialized techniques to perfectly fuse these very different materials, creating a smooth transition between the breathable crown and protective brim. This technical duality demands years of experience and deep understanding of each material’s properties, resulting in a piece that challenges traditional hat-making conventions.
