One of the main reasons i went back to Accra in december 2011 was to to raid the arts center for craftsmen who could handle a custom order on some cool leather snapbacks i spotted (bought one too) at the Kotoka airport enroute to Lagos on one of my earlier trips. Long story short, i found one and he made me 2 hats although they were slightly bigger and i was not pleased with the size, they’ve sort of grown on me now. I wore one of them out in Abidjan last december to the admiration of many. More images after the Jump.
