Purchased several years ago but hardly used. An forehead tape was applied, so it never directly touched my skin, and it was never rolled up. It has been stored in a well-ventilated, dark place away from UV light. The condition is like new!

【Brand】
Tanaka Hat Shop (Kasugabe City, Saitama Prefecture), a long-established company founded in 1880 (over 140 years). One of the few Japanese manufacturers specializing in straw hats, known for its high-quality products that showcase traditional craftsmanship.

【Material/Features】
• 100% natural grass (Kanpiso).
• Open-weave mesh for excellent ventilation, offering a cool and light texture. It has more firmness than straw and a more natural feel than raffia.
• Raffia is the main material used by Tanaka Hat Shop now, and models using traditional Japanese Kanpiso (dried skin of the bottle gourd) are rarely seen. Kanpiso is a rare material because it is difficult to secure the raw materials and requires the skills of craftsmen to process, resulting in very little production.
Therefore, it is a material that is gradually disappearing from the market. This hat is a model using such rare Kanpiso, and it is now difficult to obtain.
(The background of the material has been confirmed and summarized by Copilot.)

【Size/Design】
• Head circumference 59cm (adjustable band) *See photo 8
• Center crease type, wide brim for sun protection
• Leather belt + metal fittings for accent. This leather belt and metal fittings allow it to be rolled up for compact storage *See image 9 (image)
• Unisex
• Function: Can be rolled up for compact storage! Convenient for travel and carrying (I haven't used it, but it's made of flexible material, so it's OK). UV protection and sun protection effects are also expected.

【Condition】
Extremely good condition. No stains, scratches, or wrinkles. No slight storage odor.

Because dedicated stain-prevention tape was applied to the forehead area,
the inside lining has not touched the skin.
It is in very clean condition for a used item.
(The tape has been removed for the listing)

Perfect for summer outdoor activities, golf, and casual outfits. For those who appreciate the value! Currently unavailable from the official store, so it is recommended for collectors and those seeking authenticity.
Price negotiations are welcome, but first come, first served.

*Although it is in extremely good condition, please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to used items as it is a personal item stored by an individual.
