A tip of the hat to JW Brooks' new Neon Cowgirls line
From the JW Brooks Custom Hat Co., located in Cave Creek, Arizona, J.W. and Jody Brooks design custom-made hats to suit a variety of tastes. An artist by origin, J.W. is known for not only his Western art but also his Signature Series and JW Brooks custom cowboy hat lines featuring styles worn by cowboys and celebrities alike. The latest line, Neon Cowgirls, is a collaboration with his wife, Jody, a member of the Cowgirls Historical Foundation. Together the couple researched the process of embellishing hats. Their unique techniques are showcased in the Neon Cowgirls line, which features handcrafted 100X pure beaver hatsemblazoned with historically accurate embroidery, Swarovski crystals, and leatherwork. Style #2075 is shown in bone color with black lambskin leather wingtip. Call for custom designs.
