In 2025, Management once again approached The Shaft & Crown to design a whimsical reward for miners participating in the Great Egg Hunt. In years passed, our millinery has produced such iconic looks as the Basket Case and Egg Shell on Your Head, but this year we wanted to create something a little more understated and approachable for the traditional dwarf.
We weren't sure how to approach this at first; helmets are the purview of the Department of Cranial Equipment, not two dwarves who refused to leave the drop pod on their first mission who were nimble with a needle a thread.
It wasn't until one drunken evening of crafting when Brimhilde haphazardly slapped on bunny ears and chicks onto a cowboy hat and screamed, "Yahoo buckaroo!" that we realized the perfect hat was equal parts Easter and Outback.
The chicks are made of felted web spitter particulate that have been dyed a soft yellow using acid spitter phlegm and Kursite powder.
We hope you enjoy this hat and future designs by The Shaft & Crown. Rock and Stone, pardner! ⛏️🤠
