Working Seer Hat

Named for the See-er, another name for an oracle, or wizard, as well as the 2012 album by Swans. Constructed in the same ’sandwiched’ way as the loft and drone jackets.

The shape is based on a 1940s British army hat made for Sikh soldiers, conical in shape so that a turban could be wound around it.

Sandwich construction of three fabrics- Majocchi polyester-cotton high tension gabardine, raw organic cotton open cell mesh, and peach finished cotton oxford. Sandwich creates quilted texture of a down jacket without the thickness or heat. The cotton mesh middle layer shrinks in dyeing, pulling in the other fabrics, but will gently stretch out with wear, for a personal fit.

Garment dye fully dyes the cotton lining and sewing threads, but only dyes the cotton fibre within the intimately blended gabardine- polyester fibres remain olive green, giving the fabric a special mottled appearance similar to a covert cloth or marl jersey.
