A classic gangster style hat with a high crown of approximately 12cm and a wide brim of approximately 7cm.
The material is a polyester blend blade.
Thin, tape-like material called braid, which is a few millimeters wide, is layered and sewn together in a spiral to create a round shape.
This is a hidden masterpiece that requires skilled techniques to create the beautiful circle.
It is then fitted into a mold and sprayed with starch to harden it.
Summers in Japan are hot and humid, so hats with a wide brim that blocks out light, a high crown that doesn't get stuffy, and a blade material that is breathable are 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 (vinyl leather) with grosgrain tassels.
The ultimate in classic men's hat craftsmanship, handed down since the 1920s.
