HICOSAKA / Paper Knit Bucket Ribbon Hat

HICOSAKA
A hat brand that started in earnest in 2018. Designer Hikosaka, with a wealth of knowledge and connections to numerous domestic factories, is the foremost specialist in hats in Japan, focusing on patterns he creates himself. Since the days when he sold only hunting caps, he has continued to produce hats for many select shops and brands.

Utilizes a canvas material mixed with paper. The fabric, meticulously woven with different materials, has a natural yet somewhat elegant finish.

Cotton herringbone is used for the distinctively wide ribbon. It blends well with casual outfits paired with T-shirts, making it easy to wear.

The top is flattened to create a silhouette reminiscent of a bucket hat. Designed to be familiar even for those who are hesitant about summer hats, it’s an approachable shape.

The chin strap ribbon is detachable. It’s fun to experiment with different styles, such as tying it snugly around the face, letting the ribbon hang, or removing it entirely for a bucket hat-like look.

The design allows the ribbon to be threaded from both the inside and outside. Additionally, size adjustment is possible for a fit that suits your preference.

While it cannot be folded, it can be carried hands-free by hanging the included ribbon around the neck or tying it to a bag.
