The Frontier
The Frontier draws from the working hats of the American West—a familiar form shaped with enough individuality to make it its own. Handmade from premium fur felt, it features a teardrop crown with a defined pinch front and a raw-edge brim. A self-felt band and silver buckle set keep the appointments restrained, allowing the shape and natural character of the felt to lead. Built with the grit of the past and the freedom of the open plain in mind, The Frontier is an Original meant to be lived in, worn in, and carried forward.
