“Jean Paul Gaultier” 90’s Tonal embroidered leather hunting cap

“Jean Paul Gaultier” 90’s Tonal embroidered leather hunting cap

With its original approach unbound by conventional ideas and outstanding craftsmanship, Jean Paul Gaultier has continually redefined the boundaries of gender and style. We present a standout piece distinguished by its choice of materials and delicate design details.

Crafted by shaping black leather with fine grain into a traditional hunting cap form, this exceptional piece adds a mode-like expression to a classic silhouette through multi-row topstitching crossing the crown and crest-like embroidery on the sides.

The crown is constructed by three-dimensionally joining multiple leather panels, forming a beautiful rounded outline while finishing into a refined shape that naturally conforms to the head.

The parallel stitching running across the surface creates a regular rhythm on an all-black design, enhancing the leather’s grain and sheen brought to life by the way it catches the light—striking a balance between decorative appeal and the inherent quality of the material.

On the sides, crest-like embroidery is stitched using thread in a closely matched tone. While it keeps its presence understated from the front, the design emerges with depth depending on the angle from which you view it. Rather than displaying a large logo, this piece hides the brand’s distinct character within the seams and embroidery—an added value that is truly unique to this item.

The brim is also made of leather. By neatly finishing the outer edge with careful stitching, it maintains the gentlemanly presence inherent to a hunting cap while delivering a more pulled-together impression that clearly stands apart from typical wool materials.

Inside, a glossy lining featuring a motif reminiscent of human figures is used, so that even the parts hidden when worn express the kind of decorative flair characteristic of Jean Paul Gaultier. For the sweatband area, a stretch-woven fabric is incorporated, and the size is marked as “F,” meaning it offers not only sculptural beauty but also everyday ease of wear.

Judging from the Jean Paul GAULTIER fitted wear tag with a logo woven in red and the format of the domestic license notation provided by Onward Kashiyama, this dates to the 1990s. It is also appealing as a way to incorporate the fusion of classic garment elements and rebellious sensibilities that Gaultier excelled at at the time—right into a small accessory.

This is especially recommended for those who want to enjoy traditional items in a modern, genderless way, and for those who wish to add a quiet sense of individuality through the material and its form, without dramatically changing the overall look.

For styling, pairing it with long coats, tailored jackets, beautifully draped shirts, or wide slacks will allow you to make the hunting cap’s classic background work naturally, while seamlessly translating it into a mode-like look true to Gaultier.

We invite you to take this opportunity.
