The Ampal Creative - Chimayo II Strapback
The third run of this hat. We use deadstock corduroy so each run has been a slightly different shade of olive - this dark olive is my favorite so far.
I've spent more and more time in the Southwest over the last few years. I've made a point to visit museums, galleries, national parks, park visitor centers and trading posts. The amazing artifacts, crafts, art and natural splendor were a big influence on this collection.
The embroidery was inspired by classic Chimayo woven vests and jackets. I engineered the stitching to look more like a woven design. The green corduroy with it seemed like a natural fit and had a classic RRL feel to it. Due to us using deadstock corduroys, this run is more of an olive color.
