ReqHatter Story

私の高校生時代、地元長崎県の離島から長期休暇を利用しフェリーで

福岡まで買い物に出向く事が1番の楽しみでした。

20年以上前、当時は古着やストリートファッションが流行。
僕自身も夢中で古着屋巡りをする日々。

あるお店で一目惚れしたカレッジロゴの真っ赤なCAP。

思い返せば奇抜で不似合いな格好の日でも、

当時はそのCAPなしでは外出しないくらい大きな存在でした。

僕にとってその帽子は必需品。
"Required one ”だったのだと思います。

「使って頂ける方の必需品になる製品をいつか作りたい。」

との思いでReq Hatterを立ち上げました。

The hat brand ReqHatter was founded in March 2023.
　
When I was a high school student, my greatest pleasure was to go shopping by ferry from my home island in Nagasaki Prefecture to Fukuoka during long holidays.

More than 20 years ago, second-hand clothes and street fashion were all the rage.
I myself was crazy about visiting second-hand clothing shops every day.

I fell in love at first sight with a bright red cap with a college logo at one shop.

Looking back, it was such a big part of my life that I would never go out without it, even on days when I was dressed in eccentric and unsuitable outfits.

For me, that hat is a necessity.
"Required one".
I think it was.

　

I want to make a product that will one day become a necessity for those who use it."

That's how I started Req Hatter.
