For maximum breathability, look for unlined options. Many of our linen caps have a subtle texture for added interest. It’s a wonderful material for summer caps. Linen is breathable and hard wearing, but wrinkles easily.

We have lined and unlined options – choose unlined for maximum breathability. Most of our cotton styles are lighter weight materials that breath well for spring, summer, and fall, but, depending on the color, can be worn year-round. CottonĬotton fabrics come in a variety of weights from heavy canvas to light and breathable dress-shirt weights. Stetson Europe put together a beautiful video showing how they make caps in their Germany factory. Hang them from a hook or store them with padding during the off season to reduce wrinkling. They’re a great way to transition from a baseball cap to hats (our top recommendations can be found in our Basics collection).

Most caps can take a beating and, with the exception of linen, be folded into a coat pocket by tucking the brim into the back inner edge of the hat. A wide variety of materials can be utilized to make fabric hats, including cotton, linen, polyester, rayon, silk, and wool, with or without patterns (we love unusual caps and focus our Stetson Europe collection around specialty fabrics and eccentric prints), and a wide variety of weaves. Both Special Characters and Give Me Some Moments are available on the Hauser & Wirth website as online exhibitions.Also called “cut and sew,” these styles are made from fabric by the yard that is cut and sewn into shape. These collages feature extreme close-ups and focus on fragmented bodies, reflecting the fragmented nature of society and our own relationships with our bodies. She isolates these figures and presents them in collages with ink washes to demonstrate the reinforcement of stereotypes in everyday imagery.ĭuring the pandemic Lorna has worked on Give Me Some Moments, which consists of collages of male and female subjects whose limbs and hair are replaced with images of architecture, animals, or nature. In this project, Lorna takes the faces of women from advertisements in Ebony magazine. Her 2019 project Special Characters has recently been exhibited at Hauser & Wirth Hong Kong and is Lorna’s first solo exhibition in Greater China. Lorna Simpson is a pioneering conceptual photographer who works with a variety of techniques, including collage, film, and photography to explore ideas of representation and identity, often through the lens of history and memory.
