Zena blog post banner. Stage right.

Hello there. We have such a cute Hattingdon for you today. It is a ‘travel in outer space’ inspired ballcap in the most gorgeous blue. Take a look. Isn’t she sweet?

Skye Ballcap.

The color is inspired by the “big blue marble” of earth as seen from outer space. It features an adorable rocket circling around a planet surrounded with dots and stars.

We renamed the design Skye after a sweet girl who dreams of being an astronaut herself some day.

First woman in Space

Do you know who the first woman to go into space is?

VALENTINA Side by Side
Valentina Tereshkova, Cosmonaut

“Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to go to space in 1963, very early in crewed space exploration, and it would be almost twenty years before another flew (Svetlana Savitskaya).” Tereshkova remains the youngest woman to have flown in space under the international definition of 100 km altitude, and the youngest woman to fly in Earth orbit.” Read more »

You see, we are more than just pretty hats. Wink!

National Zipper Day

Today celebrates something we often do not think about and may automatically take for granted. National Zipper Day commemorates April 29, 1913, when the patent for the modern zipper was issued.

The first methods used to keep clothes fastened were buttons. They worked well, for the most part. Still, clever inventors searched for even better ways to keep clothes closed.

The invention of the modern zipper was a long process that involved several people. The inventor of the sewing machine, Elias Howe, received a patent in 1851 for an “Automatic, Continuous Clothing Closure.” Although it was a good idea, he didn’t market it. After all, he was too busy promoting the sewing machine.

Over 40 years later, Whitcomb Judson improved upon Howe’s idea. He marketed his invention as a “Clasp Locker.” Judson designed it to be a fastener for shoes. To produce his new device, he started the Universal Fastener Company. The product debuted at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago, but it didn’t have much success.

The modern zipper was eventually designed in 1913 by Gideon Sundback. He worked at the Universal Fastener Company in Hoboken, New Jersey. Sundback received a patent for his “Separable Fastener” in 1917.

Sundback’s design increased the number of fastening elements to 10 per inch. It included two rows of interlocking teeth that would latch together with the help of a slider. His design was the first fastener to resemble what we now know as a zipper.

But Sundback didn’t come up with the name! The name “zipper” was first used by the B.F. Goodrich Company. They included Sundback’s device on a new type of rubber boots. They called the device a “zipper,” and as you can see, the name stuck.
