We see bread on the table, in our lunch box and in our hands. Now, we wear bread on our heads. Kent Hats, an online shop from Japan, offers a line of beautifully-crafted felt hats inspired by different varieties of bread and baked goods.
Named after its owner and craftsman, Kent started creating hats since 2013 and opened his shop in 2017. The founder explained to The Japan Times that he was inspired to design these novel crafts because he wanted “to bring more attention to the idea of wearing hats.”

For pastry lovers, you have Cinnamon roll hats with iconic spiral swirls at the crown of the hat. Besides food-related hats, they curate flower hats too. The Gothic Rose Hat comes in black and wine-red where the elegant flower silhouette sits at the crest of the can-can hat.
