For Anyone Who Has Felt That "Caps Don't Suit Me"

• My face is small, so the cap ends up wearing me
• The brim is too long, so the area around my face looks heavy
• It's deep, so it gives a heavy impression
• It's too sporty and doesn't go with my everyday clothes

Have you been giving up on hats for reasons like these?

We at WORDS, a Kyoto hat brand, would like to introduce the "Umpire B Cap": a hat we especially want to reach people who struggle with the feeling that caps just don't suit them.

This hat is based on the cap worn by baseball umpires. Its defining feature is a short brim, designed to keep a clear field of view.

WORDS focused on this shape and adjusted the design so it can be worn naturally around town. The crown is slightly shallow and compact, in a carefully judged balance that keeps the area around the face looking neat.

• A slightly shallow, compact crown
• A short brim that doesn't cover too much of the face
• A light overall balance

These features make it a hat that is a good fit for petite people, women and people with small faces, too.

A plastic wire is built into the tip of the brim, so you can adjust the shape of the brim freely.

• Flip it up slightly for a "relaxed" look
• Curve it more for a "classic" look
• Keep it straight for a "clean" look

The body is 100% cotton twill. It is breathable and cool in spring and summer, and goes well with outerwear in autumn and winter. It is a hat you can wear in any season.

In addition, the adjuster is made of genuine leather (real leather). It is a casual cap for adults that leaves a neat impression from behind, too.

• For simple styles such as a white T-shirt with denim
• For workwear and vintage-clothing styling
• As a "contrast item" with dresses or natural-style outfits

Not too flashy, yet with a little character. That is exactly why it has a "just right" quality that blends with any outfit.

"Hats don't suit me." "I'm not comfortable in caps."
This hat is meant above all for people who feel that way.

The moment you put it on: "Huh? This might actually suit me." We hope that is how it feels.
It is a hat that can be a chance to turn around your hesitation about hats.

You don't need to be confident about fashion.
This cap should add a little confidence and change to your "usual clothes".
