Samurai Sews Up a Ball Cap In Wide-Waled Japanese Corduroy

The world’s best denim brands aren’t just denim brands—they have the reach and scope to develop pieces and fabrics that stray from their core commitment to crunchy pants, but complement their main collection.

Samurai might be best known for its excellent jeans, but it’s taken that same level of expertise to its line of corduroy hats. These ball caps, which come in both olive and black, use a medium weight Japanese corduroy with a ruggedly wide wale.

Based on vintage ball caps — but with a few tweaks to modernize the fit — these over-dyed, made-in-Japan hats are a cool way to add a bit of texture to your fits. With a black leather strap and an embroidered Samurai logo, the hat will stand out—but unlike with sports team branded hats, you don’t actually need to know anything about baseball to pull it off.
