Hoyle Curl No.3: A Hatmaker’s Tribute to Sound

At Hoyle Hat Co., innovation meets tradition. Introducing the Hoyle Curl No.3, an original embellishment technique that transforms vintage guitar strings into refined hatband artistry. This ornamental curl design merges sound and style—paying homage to musical legends like Jack White while honoring the craftsmanship of handmade millinery.
