Hand-made to the nth degree, each of the Story mfg. Brew Hat is knit and dyed by hand. The chunky crochet knit is expertly crafted so that you can look fly whilst keeping the sun at-bay.

NATURAL INDIGO: Not all indigo is the same and Story mfg. uses the best, most authentic version. Story's dyehouses use a natural form which replaces chemicals with fermented dye—a traditional method used for thousands of years.

PALPATTAI: Jackfruit dyeing—a technique almost lost to time—was saved by one of the dyehouses Story mfg. works with after years of researching a rumour. Jackfruit waste wood is shred, sun-dried and boiled into a tea for dyeing in a process which takes 4-10 days depending on the tone of colour required. 

KADUKA: Found across most of India, the Myrobalan plant grows in abundance at in the foothills of the Himalayas. The versatile dye creates a variety of hues from brownish to bright yellow.

PADHIMUGAM: Indian Redwood produces an incredible deep colour pink/violet which seems almost other-worldly.

IRON: Traditionally used as a way to darken dyes, Story mfg. use iron to create their olive and black colours when paired with other natural dyes.

→ NOTE: Due to the natural dyes and handmade nature of Story mfg. no two pieces are the same. Variations in colour and pattern are a design feature.
