That's simply their perception of style amongst themselves, and it's unavailability to anyone as such. They don't like something like traditional hats, therefore they're not produced, and ultimately not available as a souvenir to yourself. But it's not that the Japanese hats are something that they currently wear and would either object or embrace to a foreigner wearing them either way.
