I have an image of a particular style I want to buy in my head, and I'm not sure I can find anything exactly the way I want it.
Is there a maker I could go to and order one made for me?
I found this article: https://ryukyushimpo.jp/style/play/entry-761707.html
(looks like I want something derived from the Yaeyama style hats that are wider and shallower) but the shop referenced there doesn't seem to have any of these hats anymore and anyway I'd like a custom one.
I want one that's extra large, like almost as wide as my shoulders, with a shallow slope, maybe only 20 degrees, an internal basket and strap to keep it well seated on the head, and it would be a bonus to have a slatted window in the front of it with a raised weaving to let rain flow around the window.
