WAIPER.inc US Navy Sailor Hat STENCIL PIGMENT DYED【WP1117】 A sailor hat traditionally worn by the US Navy. Like the sailor shirt, it's an iconic item of the Navy and is widely recognized. Originally, it was meant to be worn with the brim folded up, but the style of wearing it with the brim down and deep on the head is popular as an accent to fashion coordination. Vintage releases are also rare, and it's difficult to find popular sizes in Japan. The crown has 6 panels, true to the original. It's slightly deeper than the original to improve the fit. The brim is the biggest feature of the sailor hat. The original boasts extremely high durability due to the countless stitches. This detail is unrealistic in current sewing processes, and it's not a particularly productive method, so it's not favored. WAIPER.inc has also faithfully reproduced this brim stitching without compromise, with countless stitches! Prioritizing the silhouette from a fashion perspective, we made the brim slightly shorter than the original to find the best balance between the crown and brim when worn! And the biggest focus is the pursuit of the sailor hat as a fashion item. The design with the stencil stamp, often seen on vintage pieces, is simply cool! So, we applied stencil printing to the side. Moreover, we made it look more natural and already faded as if it had aged! Therefore, each piece is printed by hand. The unevenness in a good way gives it a finish just like a real vintage item. Color variations other than white are quite rare even in vintage items. We also paid attention to the dyeing, just like the stencil printing, and by giving it a worn-out look, the color became uneven, giving it a vintage-like atmosphere! The sailor hat is a niche item in the hat category. Due to the rarity of the original and the size issues, it's an item with a strong sense of connoisseurship. This item has been completed after repeated updates to make it easier to use daily while maintaining the mysterious and cool impression.
