About YOSHIDA LTD.

Japanese Hat Manufacturer with Integrated Production from Design and Knitting to Sewing, Dyeing and Finishing

YOSHIDA LTD. is a Japanese hat manufacturer headquartered in Osaka, with an integrated production facility in Uki City, Kumamoto. With 75 years of experience, the company specializes in OEM and ODM manufacturing for a wide range of headwear, including berets, caps, hats, casquettes, and hunting caps.

At its Kumamoto factory, YOSHIDA handles a broad range of processes in-house, including product planning, pattern making, knitting, sewing, dyeing, and shaping. The factory also makes use of groundwater from the Aso volcanic region for dyeing and natural sun-drying, incorporating the local environment into its manufacturing process. The company works with both woven and knitted materials, developing hats that make the most of each material's characteristics.

YOSHIDA offers flexible OEM and ODM production from small batches through larger-volume manufacturing. Clients can consult with the company from the early concept stage, even before a design has been finalized. YOSHIDA can provide suggestions for materials and shapes, create development samples, and coordinate additional processes such as printing and embroidery.

The company has produced hats for a wide range of clients and projects, including fashion brands, hat brands, artists, and character, manga, and anime-related projects. Combining the quality associated with Japanese domestic manufacturing with decades of specialized hat-making expertise, YOSHIDA provides flexible manufacturing and product-development support tailored to diverse brand and creative needs.
