why would a shop take crypto only?

because it removes the usual middlemen between buyer and maker: no card networks, no chargebacks, no bank in the middle deciding what a small foreign label may do — just wallet to studio. for a one-person label shipping worldwide, it is the simplest honest rail. here is the fuller reasoning.

Every guide says the same thing: accept every payment method, remove every barrier. We did the opposite — our checkout takes crypto and nothing else. On purpose.

it keeps things simple

No card networks, no chargebacks, no bank in the middle deciding what a small foreign label may or may not do. You pay from your wallet, we get paid, your hat goes into production. The whole arrangement fits in one sentence.

it selects for our people

If you can pay from a self-custody wallet, you already care about the things this hat is about: owning things properly, patience, small numbers over mass anything. The payment method is the door policy.

and a record can follow you

If you add a wallet address at checkout (it's optional), a little "bit" is minted on Polygon to that address. Not a loyalty point. A record that the hat is yours, verifiable by anyone, sellable by no one but you.

One hat, made properly in Seoul, about eight weeks from order. See it here.
