Invictus: Latin for unconquered or undefeated.
Life will always have things which make you feel like you were dragged through the dirt, kicked and burnt. This hat represents that.
Shaped like our clean slate hat but dirtied up, burnt and a mule kick added to show life’s kicks and trials.
The color will stand out, the shape and accessories will tell others that you can handle yourself.
Slate colored felt hat, dirt rubbed into the felt and burnt up with a torch to distress it. Black Alligator band. Black leather braid, black removable raven feather.
RCA crown with a mule kick. 4” western lift brim with a mean outlaw pull down. A horseshoe nail as a cowboy toothpick, on the left side, because that’s the Forged Glory side.
INVICTUS
by,
WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
for my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
