WET-FELTED IN NEPAL

Singular objects. No copies. Every sauna hat is one of one.

A skein is wool in bundled form. It is also a formation in flight. We made two hundred and fifty sauna hats, wet-felted by hand from organic New Zealand wool in Nepal. Four sensations: drift, threshold, pulse, ground.

The hat buffers the head from the hottest heat in the room, so the body can keep warming after your head would usually tell you to leave. More time in the heat. A steadier walk to the water. A better sauna experience.

FOUR SENSATIONS

FIELD NOTES

From the riverfront.

In a world where everything ships overnight. Where things are not earned, just purchased. Where material choice doesn't matter, and cost is the only variable getting any attention.

These sauna hats are different.

They're made for a moment where technology stays outside. Where we strip ourselves of our flashy objects and our outer shell. We become vulnerable. We share space with others.

We sit still.

We heat up.

We do something hard.

We endure the elements.

Because every time we get in the heat and plunge in the cold, we come out the other side better for it.

The elements promise revival in exchange for commitment to the practice.

The hat plays its role. It extends time in the heat by insulating the head.

Natural fibers and a craft that dates back millennia, standing the test of time. Raw organic wool turned into a single continuous piece of fabric. No stitching, no synthetic shell. Each hat made by hand, one at a time. Each design unique, shaped by the placement of the fibers.

We could have made something cheaper. We could have made more.

The decision was intentional.

We use a wood-burning stove. Every log carried by hand and delivered to the flames.

We cold plunge in natural water because connecting with rivers that flow from the mountains into the ocean is good for the soul.

We make these hats by hand because that meant something to us.

Organic New Zealand wool. Made in Nepal, a region renowned for wool textile craftsmanship. Designs in conversation with the elements and the sensations of the thermal cycle.

The goal was to make the best sauna hats in the world. That's what we did.
