neighbourhood of Joo Chiat Terrace (not a mall), I passed by Hat of Cain. Established in 2012, Hat of Cain specialise in exceptional quality Panama hats and also offer items such as felt hats and flat caps. They write: “We have grown from our humble beginnings with a handful of classic styles to a wide selection of over forty designs suitable for both men and women. Customers, first-time Panama hat owners and collectors alike, will be spoilt for choice with the variety of weave grades that have been carefully sourced from the finest weavers in Ecuador.”

Hat Stall Myanmar


I really wanted to add this little hat shop/stall gem I spotted in 2016 when I was in the old port town of Pathein in the Ayeyarwady Region in the west of Myanmar. It is about four hours by road from the capital city of Yangon and located on the corner of Merchant Street and Mingala Street in the centre of Pathein. Besides hats, this stall owner sells straw woven spade- shaped fans, hand-woven baskets and Burmese souvenir T-shirts.

This hat shop in the capital, Ulaanbaatar, on the third floor of the UK Tower shopping mall is dedicated to winter baseball caps. Keep in mind, it is pretty cold in Mongolia. I was there in December 2013 when temperatures moved between −23°C to −14°C (−10°F to 6°F), and you’re basically running from indoors to car to indoors and staying there. These hats are proudly made in


Mongolia, some are 100% wool. They come in various colours and sizes, and free shipping is offered within the city. Embroidered caps are their specialty, featuring the Mongolian flag or car brands such as Mercedes Benz, Nissan and the Toyota Land Cruiser. The hats also sport Asian elements such as silk knots often seen on qipao dresses, the Asian dragon or the Chinese round stylised symbol for shòu ( ), meaning longevity.

I met Jeffrey Sun, the founder of Hatters Hub, in 2012 and became their creative director for over a year. Jeff Sun had graduated from university in 1988 after studying international trade and was quickly able to join a foreign trade company. Eight years later, in order to pursue his passion for hats, he founded the headwear company Foremost, which took him all around the world. He visited museums and art galleries, which opened his eyes and made him realise that a brand is not a simple product: it is craftsmanship and the culmination of culture and art. His dream grew bigger and so he


started Hatters Hub in 2008 in Nantong, Jiangsu province, where he is from. With locations in Beijing and Shanghai, they sell their own hat labels as well as foreign brands such as Borsalino, My Bob, Céline Robert and Stetson. Jeff Sun has since opened a hat museum holding 2,500 pieces of headwear. [To read a full interview with Jeffrey Sun, see Issue 92.]
