What to know about Found Feather
Headwear only, nothing else
The whole line is caps, bucket hats, berets and brimmed styles — a single-category label rather than a clothing brand with hats attached.
Military archives, softened shapes
Patterns are drawn from vintage military and workwear caps, then reworked into cleaner silhouettes meant to be worn day to day.
Small factory, limited distribution
Fabrics come mainly from Japan and the UK, sewing happens at one small factory near the Hakusan mountains, and stockists are kept to a handful worldwide.

Brand facts
Found Feather is a small headwear label founded in 2019 by Merv Maranan in Kanazawa, Ishikawa prefecture, Japan. The brand builds caps, bucket hats, berets and brimmed styles around vintage military and workwear silhouettes, reworking archival patterns into cleaner, more wearable shapes. Textiles are sourced mainly from Japan and the United Kingdom, and production runs through a small factory in the foothills of the Hakusan mountains. Distribution stays deliberately limited, with a handful of specialist stockists in North America, Europe and Asia. No ownership changes reported.
