Bandana Tsurukame, Navy

While the bandana is seen as a typically American creation, it's actually inspired by Indian textiles, patterns, and dying methods. This cowboy accessory has gotten a Japanese makeover thanks to one Oregon brand that's turning textiles on its head. This pocket-stuffable accessory features loads of tiny Japanese symbols including those for the crane and tortoise, popular for good luck and longevity.

All the products that come from the Kiriko Studio in Portland, Oregon-based studio are made from imported Japanese fabrics. The brand hunts down centuries-old denim, hand-dyed shibori, and bold kasuris for use in creating its clothes and accessories.
