Okamoto Hats (Okamoto Hats) Paper Pork Pie Hat for Women, Washi Straw Hat, 4S-023

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 hat is made from paper material (washi paper) and is woven with a mix of thick, flat black and natural colored braids.

As the name suggests, paper material is made from paper. The quality label lists it as "unclassified fiber."

The raw material for paper materials is a material similar to washi paper, which is cut into thin strips and twisted into threads. The twisting process makes the material much denser, ensuring its strength for use in clothing items. Because it is light and durable, it has been used in recent years for a variety of items such as hats, bags, and clothing.

This unusual pork pie hat is somewhere between a boater and a fedora, and its crown has raised ends and a concave shape in the middle, which resembles a pork pie (a traditional British meat pie).

Although it may be thought of as a men's hat, this one has a slightly wider brim, making it easy for women to wear as well.

The gently sloping crown gives a casual look without being too stiff. It is also recommended for those who don't like shallow boater hats.

The mix of black and natural colors will give a simple outfit a summery touch.

Adjustable size

There is a hook-and-loop fastener on the inside, so you can adjust the fit to suit your head style.
It is also recommended for men with smaller head circumferences.

The breathable and lightweight paper blade material makes it perfect for summer.
The bold knit pattern makes for a stylish summer look that's different from the usual.

Not only for yourself, but also as a gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day, Father'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.
