The Two Ears Brand
The Two Ears Brand produces the finest selvedge bandannas in the world. Their collection is based on original vintage pieces from the late 1800s and early 1900s, some of which never made it to market. Founded by Osaka-based designer, stylist, and fashion archivist Jonathan Lukacek, each bandanna in the collection is made in Japan from bespoke, custom-milled fabrics. Printing is done by hand and every step of the manufacturing process is authentic as possible. The label came about when Jonathan found a prototype of a late-1800s bandanna that never got made. He fantasised about creating a reproduction using the highest quality fabric and manufacturing processes available for almost a decade until finding a mill with the capability to accurately reproduce the original fabric. A partnership with denim brand Ooe Yofukuten formed The Two Ears brand, a play on the Japanese word for selvedge. Those That Know are excited to be one of the few retailers worldwide to carry what has been called “the Hermès of bandannas”. Sister brand, One Ear Brand, produce large format bandannas with original art prints.
