Official Water Buffalo Club DELUXE Handmade Hat

*** THIS PRODUCT IS HANDMADE  *** By the refugee artisans at Stitch Buffalo.

If this is a present and you want us to write a note - please include that in the "Notes" section in the CART section. 

These Deluxe hats are made in Buffalo, NY. They are more expensive than the classic ones because they are handmade and use higher-quality materials. Local refugees/immigrants that have settled here from various countries, and work with Stitch Buffalo, make all the Deluxe hats. We support their mission to build community through their textile arts.

Our Water Buffalo Club logo patch is sewn on the front of the hat. On the back of the hat is a tag that reads 'Water Buffalo Club, made in Buffalo, NY," as seen in the picture. They come in red, white, and blue. These hats are about 9/10" tall. They are made from luxury shag fur, one of the most popular furs commonly used in mascot suit-making. It is known for its shiny softness. The inside has foam to hold them up and is lined with a soft cotton jersey knit material, and is very soft on the skin. If they get wet, they will become quite 'heavy' and only hang them to dry; do not put them in the dryer as it could ruin them.

What the WBC716 likes to support:

• Stitch Buffalo – https://www.stitchbuffalo.org/story - Stitch Buffalo is a textile art center committed to empowering refugee and immigrant women through the sale of their handcrafted goods, inspiring creativity and inclusion through community education, and stewarding the environment through the re-use of textile supplies.
