UES_82W-0 Indigo Stripe Work Cap Limited Edition

UES original work caps were first produced in 2005, and since then, their silhouette and details have been updated, making them a staple item under product number "82W."
They are a long-lasting product that has been supported consistently for over 20 years.
 
Characterized by a shallow fit, they create a stylish look.
As a hat, it's the second most popular shape after baseball caps, making it perfect as a coordinating accent.
The brim, which has a substantial feel, is slightly shorter, and the core material is made of a special material that remembers its shape.
It features a firm yet soft texture, similar to cork, and a restoring force that allows it to return to its original shape even after being bent.
 
The back features eyelet holes for ventilation and a loop for hanging.
The loop is a detail designed for hanging a cap on a hook, etc., from your waist when riding a motorcycle or similar, after taking it off.
 
The fabric used is a domestic material woven on a power loom, known for its excellent color fading properties. Power looms can weave fabric without excessive tension on the threads, resulting in a plump and bulky texture. A dot pattern is printed on the indigo x indigo plain weave fabric using a technique called discharge printing. The fading of the indigo and the specially treated printed pattern will show unique aging over time.

*This product will be delivered in an unwashed state.

UES's Commitment

We strive for accurate color reproduction in the photos, but please note that colors may appear slightly different due to lighting conditions. Thank you for your understanding.

The UES work cap, a long-standing staple product.

Lightweight and with an appropriate volume, it can be used casually every day.

It can also be easily washed at home if placed in a laundry net.

This indigo stripe version is a limited edition item produced to commemorate UES's 55th anniversary in 2022. It features woven stripes on dark indigo.

Since indigo dye is used, we recommend washing it with other indigo items or washing it separately.

Exposure to sunlight will, of course, cause fading, but oxidation also leads to color changes.

The products you receive will have already started to change since they arrived, so some fading or color variation may be observed.

This change is precisely a characteristic of indigo products, so we hope you understand this charm before making your purchase and enjoy it.
