Handmade six panel hat, made in Asakusa, Tokyo by friend and craftsman Ouji Yamada. Cut from 55% cotton, 45% hemp. Made in Japan.
All remnant items are made from post production fabric pieces saved during the garment cutting process.
A very unique corduroy with a great irregular character from the particular dyeing, washing and drying processes. The very dry hand is achieved both through the use of hemp and also the open air drying. The cloth was machine dyed in Kyoto using gallnuts with an iron mordant - these dyers specialize in very consistently colored predominantly natural dye processes - achieved by stabilizing the more unpredictable natural dyes with the use of a small percentage of conventional dye and by dyeing with machines as opposed to by hand. Woven in Japan.
