Lazy Gear: Bucket Hats

Not only did the cargo trousers eventually come but so did the bucket hats I suspected would never come in time as I didn't realise they were being sent from China.. but alas they're all here.

I therefore have continued printing the trousers and have prepared another screen, to print the original logo on the bucket hats. I considered using one of Amin's T-shirt design but we both felt it would be more impactful to have the original logo, helping tie the outfit together for the photoshoot as models will be wearing the new trousers and T-shirts which don't have the original logo on, as per the brief I want to build up brand recognition.

Printing on the bucket hats however just hasn't worked. I bought them too cheaply I believe and the quality minus the print is quite scratchy, the appearance is cheap and I ordered all black but they came with a knock off Burberry print on the inside. I used one bucket hat as a tester and regardless of how much pigment I added to the printing medium it came out blotchy and the fabric just seemed to reject the ink.

I did however buy a white paint pen which I plan to use to hand draw on the designs however in my time scale for this brief hand in I may not have time so this may come at a later date when I launch the new range on my website.
