Sakabukuro Short Brim Ball Cap 002

Made using some absolutely beautiful early-mid 20th century Kakishibu (fermented persimmon tannin) dyed heavyweight cotton canvas, this classic early 1900’s short brim , unstructured ball cap will mold to your head with wear.

The fabric was sourced from Japan and is heavyweight. The fabric was originally used in the production of sake - Japanese Sake bags ‘Sakabukuro’.

The fabric is unbelievably strong for its age.

I have added a beautiful wool felt motif. This wool felt was hand-dyed by Jo @indigoinspirations in her home in Mullumbimby, Northern NSW. This wool felt is made of Pure New Wool, which is naturally nonflammable and dirt repellent.

All of my caps are handmade from start to finish by me, using machines from the 1920’s-1960’s. No two caps are the same and differences in construction are to be celebrated
