Hi, this is Shohei.
We have introduced several spring/summer items since the start of the SS23 collection.
This time, we would like to introduce jet-black hats and caps, which will bring a "crisp" look to your spring/summer styling.
Actually, these items were re-released in January of this year with an updated version, but we have not been able to introduce them to you.
Here we go!
Update & Restock
【BORO Bucket Hat】
Color: Black
【BORO 6PANEL Cap】
Color: Black
Hats and caps are items that are closer to the face than clothing.
The wearer's face, hair length, hair color, skin color, with or without glasses, and so on.
I personally believe that they are items that bring out the individuality and character of each person more than clothing, and make fashion fun.
“Please wear them and enjoy fashion.”
And there is something else I want to tell you that is too good to end this blog.
Hat with dignity
As the name suggests, the bucket hat is named after its resemblance to an upside-down bucket, and is an essential item for street fashion in the 1990s.
However, KUON's bucket hats have a dignified, adult look.
The hat does not make too much of a statement, so it has dignity and blends in with the wearer.
The brim is shorter and shallower than a typical bucket hat.
This is the secret of its dignified, adult look.
↑It looks elegant and modern, even though it is just worn with a T-shirt and a shirt.
An upcycled bolo that makes a strong statement despite its modest-looking construction.
Even the inside of the brim is patchworked, creating a design that is understated but not too smooth.
A perfect balance of pattern and design. This contrast attracts me, and it is an item that I will never get tired of.
Furthermore, a thoughtful feature has been added from this reproduction.
Size adjustment function
A Velcro tape on the inside of the sweatband adds a size adjustment function.
It can be worn by both men and women as it accommodates head sizes from about 54 cm to 60 cm.
Next we go to caps.
Caps with a sense of coziness
Compared to hats, caps have a slightly more casual element, but they somehow give you a sense of being casual.
The secret of the stylishness lies in the construction.
The short brim makes the face look clean, and the shallow shape gives an adult impression without making it look childish.
The adjuster is made of cowhide leather and the metal fittings are brass.
The more you use them, the more you can enjoy their increasing austerity.
The more you use them, the more you can enjoy their tarnished appearance. It tickles a man's heart, doesn't it?
As with the hat, a solid, thick sweat stopper is placed on the inside.
Even if you wear this cap in summer, it is a cap with care that does not show sweat stains or salt wiping off, making it look unfortunate.
It would be too bad if sweat stains or salt were visible on this cool, jet-black dyed cap!
Jet-black BORO
Upcycled BORO type 2 is used for the jet-black dyed cap.
It is created by collecting scraps of fabric that should have been thrown away and turning them into a patchwork.
Things that should have been thrown away are sublimated as fashion items and become an indispensable part of daily styling.
It is a romantic story with KUON's character, isn't it?
And because of the patchwork, there are individual differences.
Please wear, see, and feel it in the store.
It is a definite item.
Actually, this is the third time I have written a blog about 6PANEL Cap and BORO Bucket Hat.
I feel like I am writing about the same things that I have written before...
I am still enjoying it with the same feelings as when I first got it, so please forgive me if I write about the same things.
Well then, thank you very much for your time until the end.
Here are the items I introduced this time
