YOKOI RONDE Flared Hat

◆Flared Hat
A flared hat is a type of hat designed with a brim that droops slightly downward.
The brim has a characteristic wave-like appearance when worn. It is made of 100% wool using yarn spun domestically. The product is knitted once and then felted, featuring a light and soft texture with a spongy fluffiness.
Moreover, it is very excellent in heat retention and has a convenient design for portability, allowing it to be rolled or folded.

◆Beautiful flare is a characteristic.
With a round head shape and a slightly drooping brim, it has a flared design. When actually worn, the flare spreads beautifully like petals.
Additionally, since it is a hat made of pure wool without a sweatband, the fit when worn is outstanding.

◆Using 100% Super Comeback Lamb Wool [POSH14]
We use lamb wool from the Comeback breed, which is a cross between the Merino breed, a global wool-producing breed from Australia, and British long-haired breeds. The name Comeback comes from the fact that it genetically returns to the Merino breed, hence it is called 'Comeback breed' in Australia.
The fiber quality of the Comeback breed combines the soft and pleasant texture of Merino wool with the spongy and fluffy characteristics of British wool.
We are particular about the purchase of raw wool, collecting materials with minimal plant-based impurities (burs) to procure raw wool that has only been washed without carbonization. By avoiding carbonization, we minimize damage to the raw wool and preserve its natural texture. By spinning this high-quality raw material, we create a material that is airy, very fluffy, lightweight, and warm. It has a very gentle texture and is finished into yarn that excels in both moisture retention and warmth.
When made into a hat, it has a slightly more casual feel compared to elegant extra fine lamb wool, allowing for a greater appreciation of the wool material.

◆History of Kogane Wool Weaving Co., Ltd.
Kogane Wool Weaving Co., Ltd. was founded in 1952. The late Tatsuhiro Ishii, the founder and first president, was a technical pioneer in Japan's wool industry.
We manufacture woolen yarn for domestic and export use, made from raw materials such as wool, cashmere, and angora.

◆YOKOI BERET was founded in 1943 in Kasukabe City, Saitama Prefecture. This area, which thrived as a wheat production site, also had a vibrant local industry for straw hat manufacturing. YOKOI Co., Ltd. has been engaged in the production of hats made from natural materials such as straw and wool for many years. Today, in addition to hats made from functional materials like thermo, we also create various designs using high-quality yarn sourced from domestic spinning manufacturers, including Basque berets. Unlike cheap overseas products, our hats feature a high-quality feel and a substantial texture.
