◆A modern linen-like blade cap with a short brim
A short-brimmed cap for both men and women. This paper cap has a delicacy and softness that cannot be achieved with natural materials.
The material is made extremely thin and uniform, giving it a sense of stability that cannot be achieved with wheat straw. It is made with a straw-like braid, sewn tightly in a circular shape. The quality of the fit when worn is due to its delicate construction and soft material.
The cap body has rounded corners that suit adults, and the brim is slightly shorter and slopes downward, making it a different design from a baseball cap. Although it has a slightly mannish atmosphere, it has a design that goes well with any outfit.
◆Uses a linen-like blade that can be folded The blade used is a linen-like material that has the feel of a straw hat, but is soft and has a heathered look. There is a wire in the brim, so you can use it for long periods of time without stress by raising the brim depending on the situation. It can also be folded and carried, making it ideal for traveling or short outings.
■Tanaka Hat Store, founded in 1898 ~A long-established store with a history of over 100 years~
Straw hats are a traditional craft from Kasukabe City, Saitama Prefecture. Currently, there are only a few factories in Japan that are capable of mass production, and among them, Tanaka Hatten is a long-established store that boasts over 100 years of history and tradition. Straw hats are made using a unique sewing method in which craftsmen use a material made from seven strands of wheat woven into a single strand, stacking them one on top of the other and sewing them into a circular shape. Straw, a natural material, has good breathability and is perfect for sun protection, making it an indispensable hat for summer.
At Tanaka Hat Shop, we still carefully make straw hats one by one using traditional methods, which are popular among men and women of all generations.
