Fantastic Womack!
I’m the guy who designed and made the hat he is wearing and I’m trying to find out how he got it as it was/is only on sale in our studio in Dublin or by commission. (Cow’s Lane Designer Studio, Essex St West, Temple Bar, Dublin). Maybe a stylist picked it up for him? I Dunno! ….and he was wearing it at Glastonbury too. If anyone knows please tell me.
