Straw cowboy hat with feathered hat band worn by Arthur Lee, ca. 2000. Creator: Unknown
This straw cowboy hat with a feathered hat band was worn by African-American singer and songwriter Arthur Lee. The woven straw is molded in place so that the crown has a triangular indentation, the sides of the brim are turned up, and the back edge of the brim points slightly downward. Reddish brown, black, and cream feathers are attached completely around the hat band, with a circular feather design at the center front of the band. The hat has an interior band made from synthetic black fabric. A black fabric label with gold embroidery is sewn at the center back of the interior band that reads " Hand Made / In The U.S.A. / M / SHADY BRADY". A circular black leather label with pinked edges and a gold embossed logo is attached at the interior center crown. The gold logo depicts a man in a cowboy hat giving a thumbs-up gesture with his left hand above the words " SHADY BRADY"

This print showcases a straw cowboy hat adorned with a feathered hat band, once worn by the legendary African-American singer and songwriter Arthur Lee around the year 2000. The intricate design of this hat is truly remarkable - its woven straw material has been expertly molded to create a triangular indentation on the crown, while the sides of the brim are elegantly turned up, and the back edge points slightly downward. The striking feature of this hat lies in its feathered hat band. A combination of reddish brown, black, and cream feathers encircle the entire band, culminating in a mesmerizing circular feather design at its center front. The interior boasts an added touch of sophistication with a synthetic black fabric band that ensures comfort during wear. Examining closer reveals two labels that provide insight into this exquisite creation. A black fabric label with gold embroidery proudly states "Hand Made / In The U. S. A. / M / SHADY BRADY" sewn at the center back of the interior band. Additionally, a circular black leather label with pinked edges displays an embossed gold logo featuring a man in a cowboy hat giving a thumbs-up gesture above the words "SHADY BRADY". Preserved within National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this artifact represents not only Arthur Lee's personal style but also serves as an emblematic piece reflecting African-American heritage and cultural significance within America's rich history.
