TANAKA HAT Tanaka Hat Co. Marin/h (Malan Homme) Kankan Hat (Black Ribbon) 61cm

The kankan-bo hat, originating in the West, was initially designed for sailors and rowers, characterized by its flat crown and brim.
It began to gain popularity in Japan towards the end of the Meiji era. During the Taisho era, wearing a kankan-bo hat became a widespread trend, suitable for both Western and traditional Japanese attire, and this fashion continued into the early Showa period.
In recent years, influenced by television and movies, its popularity has grown among men, making it a sought-after design for all genders.

The material used is fine straw. Unlike thicker straw, fine straw requires intricate craftsmanship and more time to sew, making it a detailed material.
The layered stitching of the straw hat allows for greater elasticity with finer straw, resulting in a better fit and increased comfort. The kankan-bo hat features a flat crown, designed with a certain depth for a secure fit, and a slightly shorter brim for a fashionable look.

Straw hats are made from natural materials, offering excellent breathability. Due to their unique sewing method, they provide approximately 99% UV protection. They have been cherished from ancient times to the present day. This classic design comes with a black ribbon, making it perfect for both formal and casual styles.
