Your Baseball Hats

I should say that the fitted ones are left on display and the adjustable ones only get worn when I'm working in the garden.
I'm old enough to feel weird wearing a baseball cap when I'm walking around town.

Zaxxon, that is a nice cap.

treefell, I'm in my early 20s and I feel weird wearing a baseball cap. It always seems way too "dude" for me. I do it anyway, though, because I leave home AND leave work at just about the right times every day to get an eye-load of sun, and I have very thick glasses so sunglasses are out of the question. And it'd be even weirder to zinc up under my eyes.

When I was buying my Reds cap, the woman at the cash went to move the sticker and said "oh, wait, do you plan to wear the sticker?" (I don't know why she asked or felt moved to move it). I replied, "No." and she said something to the effect of "good, because that's lame." My response: "It's like, it's new, we get it." Then she laughed way too hard and I felt like a comic king for about an hour. That's customer service.

I like your story, Will.

I have:

* a Knoxville Smokies cap
* a classic Boston cap
* a red Nationals cap with the interlocking "DC" (NOT the "W" cap - urgh!!) - this is really a beautiful cap. there are gold highlights on the letters.

LA Dodgers (but don't wear, not that there's anything wrong w/ that)
CNN
NASA
Cowgirl Creamery

where is a serious hatter that aims low profile style for small heads? i've tried at least one of the MLB Franchise lines (adjustable kind) and hat comes down to ears and/or eyes.

lol @ small head

Today I'm wearing this though it has a white back instead of a navy one ... guess they don't manufacture the style anymore.

The stores outside of Fenway have an immense selection of Sox caps.

zaxxon25, Friday, 1 June 2007 15:30 (sixteen years ago) link

i have the same mfr but it's not a fitted hat, and the back is a little too big/angle between bill and head part insufficiently acute

gabbneb, Friday, 1 June 2007 16:30 (sixteen years ago) link

i haz portland beavers cap

and this weird clown-striped brewers cap that has 1989 stitched on it but there's no way anyone ever wore that, I can't even find a picture online.

also, I have a beisbol cap for the mexican futbol team 'toluca' that steals the duke logo (they are the 'diablos rojos') and has flames on the bill, and a few kickin' blazers' caps. mostly though, I wear the brewers and the bevos caps

Tracer, I'm glad you liked my story, I thought it would be boring as hell and not make sense. Is this the hat you have?

The Ebbets site is awesome. Finally, a store that sells that hard-to-find Bonham Boogers gear.

mattbot, Friday, 11 January 2008 23:12 (sixteen years ago) link

mookieproof, Saturday, 12 January 2008 00:25 (sixteen years ago) link

two years pass...

now that my hair is short (and i'm going to try really hard to keep it that way) i think it might be time to buy a hat. thinkin about the classic red/white/blue expos and wishing i knew my hat size.

All the good authorized (wool, fitted) caps I've ever gotten have shrunk up too tight to wear after a couple of heavy sweats.

this is pretty much the only hat I sport these days, and only when I go to games

Further, I bought a Milwaukee Braves hat w/ the big white "M" in the middle, and it is good. I still can't bring myself to get a NY Giants. Kinda want an Expos too, but I worry about the white crown getting grody in a hurry

i wager 75% of males in the area have this hat. mine is very crooked and worn.

200 workers shouldn’t have to lose their jobs to move production to a non-union facility or overseas.

Bottom Line: @MLB caps should be made by union labor in Western New York, USA. https://t.co/1QyZp2TYkp
