Hello.
This is Takai from THE HWDOG&CO.
Today we will introduce the new BAO BOATER.
It is based on a vintage boater hat from the 1920s and uses Bao straw, a staple material for straw hats.
Bao grass is a natural material made from the leaves of the coconut palm tree called "Bao," and is characterized by its durability and hardness, yet its light weight.
Another attractive feature is the unique glossy finish that is combined with the matte finish.
Let's compare it with D-00319/BOATER .
The BOATER on the right has a crown height of approximately 10cm and a brim length of approximately 7.7cm, while the BAO BOATER on the left has a crown height of approximately 9.5cm and a brim length of approximately 6cm , giving it a smaller, more classic look than the BOATER.
Also, while the BOATER is sewn in a spiral pattern, the BAO BOATER is knitted flat and evenly.
BAO BOATER does not have a lining or pomade guard, so the material itself gives it a cool impression.
The color is also a little more wheat-colored than BOATER.
Both have their own merits, and this is one product that we would definitely recommend you try on and compare.
The hats introduced this time are available in stores and online, so please take a look.
Thank you for reading to the end.
THE HW DOG&CO. Takai
