[Choose from two colors] Okamoto Hats (Okamoto Hats) Raffia Soft Crochet Sailor Hat with Ribbon Women's Straw Hat 4S-001

Okamoto Hats is a hat workshop in Shirahama, Wakayama Prefecture, that uses high-quality materials from around the world to make hats, including braided hats (hats made by sewing together tape-like braided cords in a spiral shape). They work together with many fellow craftsmen, both in Japan and overseas, to create a wide variety of hats.

After graduating from university, Okamoto Kazuto, the representative of Okamoto Hats, worked in hat planning, design and sales at a hat wholesaler. He became interested in making hats after being impressed by the skills of hat craftsmen both in Japan and overseas, and trained as a hat craftsman at a long-established hat factory in Okayama Prefecture before going independent in 2014. He is also particular about developing materials, and develops and manufactures his own original materials.

The theme of Okamoto Hats is "travel". Hats are special items that change the impression of your face just by wearing them. We deliver hats that are light and comfortable to wear, and allow you to experience a slightly different kind of fun and "your own style" than usual.

This item is made using thin, natural raffia and is softly crocheted one by one to give it a soft look.

Raffia is a natural material made from the leaves of a palm plant.
Its characteristics include high flexibility and resilience, and its softness offers benefits.
Because it contains natural resin components, it also has the characteristic of being resistant to drying and deterioration.

As it is a natural material, it has a unique character with protruding fibers and uneven weaving.

When we think of a sailor hat, we imagine a sailor's cap with the brim folded completely over, but in recent years there has been a wide range of designs that are designed to be worn with the brim down rather than folded over.
This item can also be worn with the full brim down, or since it is soft you can wear just the back of the hat down for a different look.

Unlike formal boater hats or straw hats, its slightly irregular shape makes it suitable for natural outfits.

In addition, the longer you use it, the more lustrous and soft it will become, and you can enjoy the changes that occur over time.

The ribbon is also made of soft material.
Available in two stylish knitted striped colors: beige and black.

Adjustable size

The deep down brim gives it a modern and stylish look, and you can freely change the angle of the brim to suit the sunlight and your mood.

There is a hook-and-loop fastener on the inside, so you can adjust the fit to suit your head style.

The breathable and lightweight raffia material makes it perfect for spring and summer.
Add elegance to your everyday outfit with high-quality natural materials.

Not only is it a great item for yourself, but it also makes a great gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day, etc.

Since the products are made from natural materials, there may be individual differences even for the same color. Also, since they are handmade, there may be slight variations in shape and size. Please use the size as a guide only.

Please avoid washing as it may cause the shape to change or the color to fade.

To clean the sweatband, dab it with a damp towel that has been wrung out thoroughly to remove dirt. When doing so, hold the towel over the hat to avoid transferring dirt to it.

If it gets wet due to rain, wipe it off with a dry towel and dry it in the shade in a well-ventilated area. Avoid using a hair dryer when drying as this may cause the shape to change.

Store in a low humidity, dark place.
