The story

Perico captures the rhythm of Puerto Rico during the 1950s, a decade of cultural transformation when music remained at the heart of island life. Inspired by the Ismael Rivera song of the same name, this one-of-one piece is handcrafted from 220g rabbit fur felt with a distressed silverbelly finish that evokes a hat shaped by decades of celebration and everyday wear.

Its tilted gambler crown, sculpted pencil-roll brim, and carefully finished details reflect the unmistakable spirit, humor, and cadence of the era. Perico is a tribute to an unforgettable decade and to the sounds that continue to echo across the island.
