The Son of Man: A Reintroduction of the Tulip Hat

May 10th, 2024

The Son of Man

May 10th, 2024
Belgian Surrealist painter Rene Magritte's "The Son of Man" painting inspired this editorial. He attributes his inspiration to his painting to:

"An interest in that which is hidden and which the visible does not show us. This interest can take the form of a quite intense feeling, a sort of conflict, one might say, between the visible that is hidden and the visible that is present."

The word "anonymous" comes from the Greek word "anonymos", which means "without a name". Thinking of how Magritte describes the visible hiding the visible, we can assume that though the man in the painting is anonymous, he is in fact with a name and his identity is always present.

In this image, we see a man in a black and white striped robe and hat. The man is standing confidently, his outfit consisting of a bold striped robe that covers his body and a matching striped hat on his head. The robe has thick black and white stripes, creating a striking visual contrast. The man''s pose exudes a sense of elegance and style. Additionally, he is wearing a black tie underneath the robe. The overall look is classic and sophisticated, with a touch of whimsy from the striped pattern. The man''s expression and posture suggest confidence and self-assurance.
While remaining in the realm of Rene's surrealism, this world is composed of fabrics and patterns. Buttons fastened to cold water dyed linen sets a scene of a starry night sky. Admist a walk down a moonlit street, this kimono'd gentleman and his hat quarrel on who is hidden and who is visible.
This project serves as a reintroduction of our Double Linen Tulip Hat, which was released in 2021. It now returns in three distinct variations: a plain double layer (similar to the original), a buttoned patchwork iteration, and an "unsystematic" iteration.

In comparison to the original tulip hat, which was constructed from a layer of dyed mediumweight and lightweight linen, the current hats employ Hopsack Linen as the base fabric. Both the Patchwork Tulip Hat and the Unsystematic Tulip Hat have elastic cording hidden within the seams of the lower layer of the hat that allows fastening with the various styles of buttons that are scattered around the upper layer of the hat, allowing functionality to meet design.

The Unsystematic Tulip Hat upper layer is composed of Hopsack Linen, Polka-dot Cotton, and Poly/Rayon suiting. Sashimi stitching embroiders throughout the hat.

All hats are currently available for pre-order in our online shop. A small handful are available in-store at Hazel & Rose the Textile Center in Minneapolis.
A young man with a striking outfit is captured in the image. He is wearing a stylish striped jacket and a matching hat. The jacket features black and white stripes, while the hat is predominantly black with subtle white details. The man''s fashion sense is further highlighted by his choice of a blue shirt underneath the jacket. He stands confidently, showcasing his unique style. The overall color palette of the image includes shades of black, white, blue, and grey. The man''s face is visible and he appears to be in his early twenties, exuding a sense of youthfulness and confidence.

It now returns in three distinct variations: a plain double layer (similar to the original), a buttoned patchwork iteration, and an "unsystematic" iteration. Each variation are available in sizes S/M (seen here worn by the model), or M/L, which is a sight oversized version.
