Street Goes Official

Wanna be ahead of the trend curve? Get yourself a uniform hat!

Anything is game, from regular army caps to hats worn by elderly German water sports enthusiasts.

But you’re really hot if you can find an old policeman’s hat or a traditional postman cap.

Go get one yourself, search in our eBay shop for uniform hats.

What uniform headgear do you want to wear? Do you know any cool ones?

While shooting in Tokyo’s trendy Harajuku, I noticed there is a whole new trend in headgear. Uniform hats and caps—and anything else that even looks slightly official—are red hot.

Inspired by the stunningly creative street fashion that exploded on the streets of Tokyo and Osaka in the late 1990’s, photo-journalist Kjeld Duits launched JAPANESE STREETS in 2002. This makes JS one of the first fashion blogs on the net, and the very first to cover Japanese street fashion.

I like the cap with the blue rim. Anybody knows what uniform that comes from? Looks like an old German school cap to me.

i thought it was from a marine uniform o; this is from an army cap
i think it kinda looks alike, just the upper part looks different ^^

Yes, the guy with the black hair. I think it is closer to this 19th century ship’s officer’s hat. I think that the design of the guy's hat above dates from the 19th century and I am pretty sure I have seen it in some kind of a German setting. Cool trend, eh!

They’re pretty cool. I like the last one. The first one is a bit too much army
