KOJI YAMANISHI Black Fashion Hat

Title: Bodyguard

Part of the “Sympathy” series, this design is defined by a seamless fit and elegant curved silhouette that naturally follows the shape of the head.

The front panel is constructed as one large surface, while finely cut panels from the top to the back are carefully sewn together. This construction allows the cap to conform naturally to the head, creating a smooth, sculptural silhouette when worn.

The material is a specially developed leather made by bonding cowhide with aluminum. This unique structure allows the leather to be shaped freely, creating expressive wrinkles and dimensional textures that give the cap its distinctive character.

The structure gently wraps the head, offering a refined sense of comfort and stability while remaining lightweight enough to feel almost effortless to wear.

In addition, the brim is designed without a stiff core, reducing pressure on the forehead. The cap can also be folded compactly, making it convenient to carry during travel or everyday outings.

Aluminum is known for its ability to reflect electromagnetic waves. In an age surrounded by constant streams of information—from social media to news—this hat is conceived as a quiet way to maintain clarity of thought.

An internal adjuster allows the size to be reduced by approximately 5 cm, ensuring a flexible and comfortable fit.
