Karina Wool Cowboy Hat | Black

The cowboy hat has never been especially interested in blending in. This one sees no reason to start now.

Minga’s Karina takes the classic Western silhouette and strips it down to black wool, a curved four-inch brim, and a vegetable-tanned leather tie. Each one is shaped and pressed by hand from 100% Ecuadorian sheep’s wool, giving the structured shape just enough variation to remind you that an actual person made it. Wear it with denim and boots if you’re willing to commit to the premise, or with something completely unrelated if you’d rather make things interesting.

About the Brand:  Minga

Making a hat by hand is the sort of skill that becomes considerably more impressive once you realize somebody had to teach you how. Minga works with multigenerational artisan families in Ecuador, pairing traditional hat-making, weaving, leatherwork, and other inherited craft techniques with contemporary design. The result keeps old skills doing something particularly useful:  making things people still want to wear.
