HW, a new retro hat brand founded by designer Shinobu Tsunemaki, stands for Hat Wear. The playful "Dog" design imbues the brand with a casual, masculine feel. Since its launch in 2015, HW has become a hit in the gentleman, retro, and streetwear circles.
Utilizing handcrafted techniques from the early 19th century, HWDog&Co. showcases a fusion of past and present, showcasing style and functionality. All products are crafted using traditional machinery, resulting in irreplaceable detail and elegance compared to modern hats. The three antique machines within the factory serve as a powerful bridge between the past and the present. These century-old machines have preserved the classic tradition to this day. When you pick up and wear one of these hats, you'll understand their value.
