The Fat Hatter

This hat brand was launched by THE FAT HATTER in 2018. Drawing on 1950s hat culture, it develops products under the supervision of its parent brand, making use of the skills and experience of Japanese hat factories alongside modern manufacturing methods. Its production system differs from that of THE FAT HATTER, which handles handmade production in its atelier and bespoke orders; Mr.FATMAN plays a role in expanding the parent brand’s hat-making through factory-produced ready-to-wear products. While the brand Mighty Shine, which has been part of the lineup since its founding, focuses on casual hats, Mr.FATMAN is a line centered on classic hat culture. It also offers J.J. WILLIAMS by Mr.FATMAN, with a focus on fedoras.

A hat brand developed by the company that operates THE FAT HATTER since its founding, it is an established brand that predates the group’s other lines rather than a later line derived from a parent brand, and forms part of the group’s hat business. It adds playfulness and attention to detail to offerings suited to the times, producing easy-to-wear headwear for everyday use, including its signature Bridge Cap as well as caps and hats. In contrast to THE FAT HATTER, which makes bespoke and made-to-order pieces in its atelier, and Mr.FATMAN, which produces items in Japanese factories incorporating 1950s hat culture, Mighty Shine is positioned as the brand for more casual and practical hats.
