CHAPTER ONE — CONCEPT
Hat with turquoise ring and Pueblo pottery against adobe walls
01
Concept

WHERE THE
DESERT MEETS
THE SKY.

The Sundance begins as a single weave of natural straw — each fiber hand-selected and interlaced in a tight, breathable pattern that catches the light like sun on dry grass. The natural golden tone is the color of the straw itself, not a dye applied after the fact.

Around the base of the crown, a handwoven band carries the geometric language of the Navajo — crosses and diamonds and stepped patterns in ochre, rust, and deep brown. Beneath it, a braided leather cord is strung with turquoise and coral beads, separated by antique brass spacers, and centered with a large turquoise cabochon set in an engraved brass bezel. A single natural feather completes the silhouette.

A HAT THAT CARRIES
THE COLORS OF THE
RED EARTH AND THE
BLUE SKY.

This is a hat for the high desert — for adobe walls and turquoise skies, for sand paintings and silver jewelry, for the quiet ceremony of a sunlit afternoon. It carries the landscape it comes from, in every weave and every bead.

Crafted Details

CONSIDERED
IN EVERY
DETAIL.

DETAIL 01
Handwoven Navajo-pattern band in ochre rust and brown

Handwoven Navajo-Pattern Band

A handwoven band carrying the geometric language of the Navajo — four-pointed crosses, nested diamonds, and stepped mountain patterns rendered in ochre, rust, terracotta, and deep chocolate brown. Each color is woven from naturally dyed yarn, and the pattern repeats with the rhythmic precision of a textile handed down through generations.

DETAIL 02
Turquoise and coral beads with central turquoise cabochon on braided leather cord

Turquoise & Coral Bead Accent

A braided dark brown leather cord strung with alternating turquoise and coral beads, separated by engraved antique brass spacers. At the center, a large turquoise cabochon — its surface veined with the natural matrix of the stone — is set in an ornate engraved brass bezel. Each stone is unique, making every hat subtly one of a kind.

DETAIL 03
Natural straw weave cattleman crease crown in golden sunlight

Natural Straw Weave & Cattleman Crown

The crown is shaped into a classic cattleman crease — a gentle pinch at the front, a slow curve along the sides — formed by hand from the tightly woven straw. The natural weave creates a breathable, lightweight structure that catches the light in golden highlights, each straw fiber visible under close inspection. The straw is flexible yet resilient, holding its shape through wear and travel.


03
Materials

THREE
MATERIALS,
ONE STANDARD.

01

Premium Natural Straw

Sourced from select natural straw fibers, hand-woven in a tight, breathable pattern. The natural golden tone is the color of the straw itself — lightweight, flexible, and naturally water-resistant. The dense weave creates a structure that holds its shape while remaining cool and comfortable in warm weather.

02

Handwoven Navajo-Pattern Band

A handwoven textile band in the geometric tradition of the Navajo — crosses, diamonds, and stepped patterns in ochre, rust, and deep brown. Each color is woven from naturally dyed yarn, and the pattern is created on a traditional loom, giving the band a texture and depth that machine-woven alternatives cannot match.

03

Turquoise, Coral & Antique Brass

The bead accent combines natural turquoise and coral stones with engraved antique brass spacers and a central turquoise cabochon in an ornate brass bezel. The braided leather cord is made from full-grain dark brown leather, and the single natural feather is selected for its color and shape. Each stone and feather is unique.

In the Field

AT HOME IN
THE HIGH
DESERT.

Hat with Navajo sand painting bottle
SCENE I

Earth and Pattern

A glass bottle filled with layered colored sand — a Navajo sand painting captured in glass, its geometric diamond pattern echoing the woven band on the hat. The Sundance beside an art form that turns the earth itself into pattern.

Hat feather with dreamcatcher and turquoise beads
SCENE II

Spirit and Feather

A small dreamcatcher — a leather-wrapped hoop, a web of white cord, a single turquoise bead at its center, and a cascade of natural feathers. The Sundance's own feather catches the light beside it — two traditions of feather and hoop, woven together.

Hat with dried wheat and woven basket in golden sunlight
SCENE III

Sun and Straw

A bundle of dried wheat, a woven basket, the golden light of a late afternoon. The Sundance at rest among the materials it comes from — straw and sun and the quiet warmth of a harvest day. A hat made from the earth, at home in it.

Specifications

EVERY DETAIL,
MEASURED.

Each hat is hand-finished, therefore measurements may vary slightly within a specified range. This is the nature of handmade work — and the reason no two hats are exactly alike.

SOME HATS
PROTECT FROM
THE SUN.
THIS ONE
CARRIES IT.


The Sundance is crafted to be worn, weathered, and passed down. The straw will soften, the beads will warm, the feather will settle — and the hat will carry more of your story with every sunlit day it sees.
