Brushed Cotton Knitted Bucket Hat from Japan

A casual bucket hat knitted from brushed cotton for a soft, textured feel, ideal for beach or outdoor wear. Falls under HTS 6505.00.15.60 as other knitted cotton headgear made from textile fabric in the piece, not strips or lace. Brushing is a finishing process that doesn't change the knitted classification.
