Size 58cm, Brim width 4.5cm back 5cm front Hand-dyed braid Teardrop < Feature 1> The wheat blades were hand-dyed and sewn alternately with the bleached wheat blades. It's a time-consuming process, but it's a one-of-a-kind hat. I think you can also feel the elements of Japanese like ink painting. < Feature 2> Wheat is a natural material, so you can wear it very coolly. <A word from the craftsman about this work> It is one of the works that I secretly call the Sotatsu series after the name of a famous painter. Using a special sewing machine called a blade sewing machine, A string-like material called a wheat blade is swirled from the top of the mountain. Sew in the form of a whirlpool. According to the wooden pattern, the shape is created by the angle of the hand and the amount of force. When I first saw it, I thought it looked like pottery. There are almost no manufacturers that make blade sewing machines anymore. All the hat makers managed to get it from their retired seniors. I continue to use it while fixing a sewing machine that is decades old. My buddy is also an old grandpa sewing machine. This hat that I made with this partner this time uses a method called "connecting stitching". It's something I invented myself, and I haven't seen it anywhere else so far. Of course, there may be people in the wide world who have done it before me. Hand-dyed wheat is deliberately shredded and sewn alternately with plain blades. It takes a lot of time, but I think it turned out to be a hat with good taste. I tailored it with the hope that it would be a "casually eye-catching" hat.
