This hat is a homage to my time in Louisiana.
Red felt hat burnt to distress it, black python band, black distressed leather braid, black turkey feather.
Crown: RCA coffin top.
Brim: 3.75 pencil curl with a western lift and roll on the sides perfect for fitting into your motorcycle saddlebag.
Sweatband: lambskin
Cowboy toothpick: horseshoe nail pierced through the crown on the right side because that’s the Forged Glory side.
Hat accessories can be sewn into the hat, or just tied on so you can change them out to match your outfit. We do not use glue.
My voodoo music teacher story by Carlo
I had a music teacher in a Baton Rouge elementary school who claimed to be a Voodoo witch. He would have us put our head down on our desks while holding our instrument. He’d walk up to your desk say some gibberish waiving his hands at you then say, “rise child and play your instrument.” My class mates would rise and play like that had been playing their whole lives.
I didn’t grow up in Louisiana unlike my classmates, I didn’t know what voodoo was, I wasn’t a musical child.
My teacher waived his hands at me, said his voodoo words and told me, “rise child and play your instrument!” I rose, and well, I wasn’t musical at all.
My teacher said, “Child go stand next to Daquarious and learn from him. My magic can’t help you today child.”
