HIGHER / Cotton–Linen Weather Beret

HIGHER
A rising hat brand based in Okayama Prefecture, a region renowned for hat-making. Committed to Made in Japan craftsmanship, each piece is carefully produced with close attention to detail.







Crisp, breathable cotton-linen fabric
The fabric is a weather weave made from 80% cotton and 20% linen. Lightweight yet crisp with a dry, refreshing touch, it offers a high-density feel combined with airy lightness.

The addition of linen enhances moisture absorption and breathability, making this an ideal hat for spring and summer wear.



Carefully dyed by skilled artisans
This hat is sulfur-dyed by craftsmen experienced in traditional Japanese textiles, such as tenugui (thin hand towels) and furoshiki (square wrapping cloths), fully applying their expertise to modern materials. Each piece is carefully finished over time, preserving the natural character of the fabric while enhancing its depth and nuance.

A specialized sulfur-dye technique creates subtle variations in tone across different parts of the hat. Natural fading and abrasion develop with wear, allowing you to enjoy its evolving, one-of-a-kind character over time.




Meticulous attention to detail
The eight-panel construction forms a beautifully rounded silhouette, keeping its elegant shape effortlessly without the need for reshaping.





A leather accent placed at the crown adds a subtle touch of refinement.



The addition of a lining improves ease of wear and creates a cleaner silhouette. Part of the interior is elasticated for a better fit—an unmistakably HIGHER touch, with care taken even in unseen details.





A clean, easy-to-wear form
Designed to suit the shape of the Japanese head, the volume is set lower to reduce bulk and create a balanced, comfortable fit when worn.
