C-PLUS HEAD WEARS

Founded in 1999, C-PLUS HEAD WEARS is a Japanese hatmaker that designs with a focus on breathing new ideas and concepts into its products. Owner and designer Kenji Watabe draws from the hippies, the raves, and the gay culture he found in San Francisco during a four-year stint in the city. Since then, he's turned his passions into hats, and now offers a variety of head coverings for every season and style. The company uses local materials and domestic production to reduce its ecological footprint and maintain control over the final product.
