The design is based on hats that were popular in the 1920s and 1930s.

Originally, the general term for this type of hat is hunting cap in English, but in Japan, the term hunting cap tends to bring to mind a hat with only one piece of top. So Dry Bones has named this eight-piece hat "casquette" (meaning cap in English), after the hat that appeared in an old French movie.

The fabric used is black chambray, commonly known as "salt and pepper," which was popular in the United States as workwear in the 1940s and 1950s. It's a marbled charcoal cotton material that doesn't show stains, making it perfect for workwear. It's a wonderful material that ages beautifully the more you use it.

It's a single piece, so it's beautifully sewn with the assumption that the inside will be visible. The piping is cotton bias tape. This tape is designed to apply pressure at an angle, so it's effective at maintaining the shape that wraps around the head.

The inside of the brim is made of the same material as the hat and does not have any interlining, so it will become distorted with use. Unlike new hats, it does not use a plastic interlining, so there is no need to worry about it cracking easily.

The slider uses a stretchy soccer tuck that gently wraps around your head.

The stitching is off-white, following the work style of the past.

Having one is a great idea as it can be combined with a variety of styles.
