In the wonderful world of menswear, amidst all the jackets, denim, and footwear, it’s easy to consider baseball caps an afterthought. One look at a hat from Poten, however, may force you to reconsider. Based in Tokyo and sharing the same parent company as Rostersox, Poten is giving the baseball cap the respect it deserves. While the hats themselves are vintage-inspired, the fabrics, patterns, and colours are fresh as can be. On top of that, every piece is made in Japan, so you can be sure that the quality is top tier.
We always look forward to seeing what new styles and fabrics arrive with each Poten delivery. Their vintage-inspired baseball hats are truly the crème de la crème, and boy are there a lot to choose from for the FW22 season. From the luxe feel of the Cole & Velvet Cap and the 100% cowhide suede SP Cap to the somewhat Sherlock Holmes-esque Tweed Cap, plus restocks on favourites like the Nylon Cap, there’s a home run of a hat for everyone in this latest collection.
Poten’s origin story has become something of a cult legend among hat connoisseurs, a testament to Hiro’s love of baseball and sheer determination. It all starts with a factory in Japan. This factory is the official producer of baseball caps for Japan’s major league, Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), and they make caps for no one else. Many brands have tried and failed to make caps at this factory, but Hiro refused to take no for an answer. Every three months for three years straight, he would visit the factory and attempt to convince them. Presumably exasperated and impressed by Hiro’s relentlessness, the factory eventually agreed to produce Hiro’s baseball caps. Read more...
