Unspecified fiber (paper) 90%, polyester 10%

A classic gangster style hat with a 12cm high crown and a 7cm wide brim.
The material is polyester blend blade.
Long, thin, tape-like material called braid, a few millimeters wide, is layered and sewn together in a spiral to create a round shape.
A hidden gem that requires skilled techniques to create the beautiful circle.
It is then fitted into a mold and sprayed with starch to harden it.
Japanese summers are hot and humid, so a hat with a wide, light-blocking brim, a crown height that keeps you from getting stuffy, and a blade material that is breathable is ideal.
The ribbon used around the brim and crown is rayon grosgrain.
It is made of recycled fibers that conform to the shape of your head so it won't sag.
The inside has a genuine leather size tape (bin leather) and grosgrain tassels.
The ultimate in classic men's hats, handed down since the 1920s.
