One Ear Brand
Osaka label making hand-printed Japanese selvedge cotton bandannas with original artist graphics rooted in 1800s American workwear.



What to know about One Ear Brand
One Ear Brand is an Osaka-based accessories label founded in 2021 by American bandanna collector and designer Jonathan Lukacek. The brand makes 70x70cm and 90x90cm shuttle-woven selvedge cotton bandannas, each hand-printed and sewn individually in Japan's Kansai region using no discharge bleaching, so every piece varies slightly. Original artwork comes from Japanese-American artist Yurika Cherise Shikai, alongside contributors including Alessio Vitelli and Kaga Satoshi. Designs reference the large "Turkey Red" bandannas of the 1800s and the cowboys and railway labourers who wore them. Stocked by Clutch Cafe, Son of a Stag and Those That Know.
