THE H.W.DOG&CO_ D-01169_RAFFIA × WOOL FRONT HAT_Natural × Black

A new two-tone hat featuring a “Crazy Pattern” design, with a raffia crown and a brim made from Australian merino wool felt. The raffia used in this hat is a high-quality, easy-to-handle material that combines a weave similar to that of Panama hat material with the unique softness of raffia. The straw crown provides excellent breathability, while the brim has a firm, structured finish. The crown shape is identical to that of our classic hat model D-00006 / FRONT-H, and the brim features an 8-centimeter cut edge. The interior features a leather sweatband, ensuring a comfortable fit that molds to the shape of your head the more you wear it. The above is reproduced from the official manufacturer's website. Size : 36(57.5cm), 38(59.5cm), 40(60.5cm） Material : CROWN:Natural Grass 100% , BRIM:Wool 100% Spiral Comment At first glance, this may appear to be a classic hat, but its true appeal lies in the thoughtful combination of materials. The lightweight raffia crown pairs beautifully with the structured merino wool felt brim, creating a unique balance of breathability and shape retention. The Natural × Black color combination is timeless and incredibly versatile. Whether paired with a simple T-shirt and jeans or a tailored jacket, it adds a refined touch without feeling overly formal. Rather than being just a summer straw hat, this is a piece designed to become part of your wardrobe season after season. Spiral Note What Is Raffia? Raffia is a natural fiber harvested from the leaves of the raffia palm, primarily grown in Madagascar and parts of Africa. It is prized for its light weight, flexibility, and exceptional breathability, making it a popular material for premium hats and woven accessories. Although often compared to Panama hats, the two are made from completely different fibers. Panama hats are woven from toquilla straw, while raffia offers a softer texture and a more relaxed feel for everyday wear. Spiral Note Why Combine Raffia with Wool Felt? Raffia provides excellent ventilation, making it ideal for warm weather, while wool felt offers structure and durability. By combining the two materials, THE H.W.DOG&CO. has created a hat that feels lighter than a traditional felt hat while maintaining the crisp silhouette that makes a classic front hat so distinctive. The result is a design that blends seasonal comfort with year-round style. Unlike conventional straw hats, the felt brim gives the hat a refined appearance that transitions effortlessly from casual denim to tailored jackets.
