Poten - Japanese Made Caps
-
I'm surprised that I am the one to create a Poten brand thread. I don't see too many of their hats featured on here. I received my first one yesterday and I'm very impressed with the fit, style and construction.
I purchased the Twisted Yarn Cap in Green with an adjustable leather strap. The fabric reminds of Iron Heart serge fabric.
To me this hat is to other hats what Iron Heart shirts are to other brands shirts. It's simply the nicest cap I've ever worn.
I won't ramble too much and this is day 2 of ownership, but I'm stoked. This retails for $125 but was on sale at End Clothing for $70 and End only charged me $10 to ship from the UK to the U.S.
This won't be my last Poten cap.

+1 for Poten. I got a basic Navy one the other day from Clutch Cafe https://clutch-cafe.com/collections/poten-baseball-cap/products/poten-x-clutch-cafe-rudeback-baseball-cap-navy-1 and have been wearing for a couple of weeks. All around a solid cap and will buy other fabrics from them.
As a bit of a review:
- Fabrics are nice in all the ones I have felt
- Really solid construction - these will take a beating
- Mine is soft / not so structured. Its not looking like a New Era or similar on the head
- Those parallel stitches on the brim are great.
± Where the peak hits the cap at each edge sticks out a little. You can see it in @jordanscollected 3rd photo. I think needs some break in time
- Although adjustable there is a limit - its fine for me but I only have 2 cm of the adjuster left, if you have a huge head or massive hair could be an issue.
