The Black Friday thread is awesome, but it just isn’t specific enough.
Some of us want hats. What hats should we get? I am looking for 100% cotton with good shade on my forehead, and breathability for those hot summer days.
Trucker style really fits my head well, and dad hats just don’t work well… I really need something that accents my head.
Thanks. Really hoping this thread can land 100 pages in a few years.

[I don't wanna show those other hats yet.
You should get something like this.
Customer limited olour runs are #1
It has a flaw tho. I could fix but I never rock it

Got it at my favorite store long ago UGG. Underground Hip Hop was the most punk rock store in 2000s Boston.

if you have a full head of hair, id skip the hats altogether
male pattern baldness aint nothing to fuck with

Short hatbase + two fingers of flatbrim = magic.

Hats are awesome they're definitely worth losing hairs over.
Everyone looks good with mullet
-
I really like the short brim hats that Theories makes. Really comfortable and they look good.
-
This talk of hats is really engaging. There have been some fine points made. I look forward to getting a good hat. Thank you
One point that has not been discussed: number of panels. I feel like five panels is a good number, but six might work as well.
And excellent point on the two fingers of brim. That’s key. But for me, five might do better.

A search for a hat is a very personal one, and the One can be elusive, so i can not provide any insight here. But the worst one is by far that stupid fucking long brimmed piece of shit that that little dipshit in the sandlot wears! Really hate that fucking thing!

Theres a last resort trucker that I think is on sale on coureur skate shop website thats nice

Are the panels stamped "IV" under the sweatband? If they are, they're going to be too steep for five fingers of flat. Your hairline will ghost pop. Look for the "II" stamp, 5 panels, and 3 fingers of flat. Trust me.

I always go for New Era 5950 low profile caps..

I think I now understand where from our rapping cowboy pal of yore, Genital Jones, took his inspiration from, thanks to your illuminating/illustrative post.

This is the correct answer. No further comments will be accepted.
(Though thank you all for the very fine hat suggestions.)

I wish I could wear any dlx brand snapback, but alas my head is monstrously large
-
I have a size 7 5/8 hat size
My favorite hat is the polar lightweight hat, great material and color
For beanies I like the sci fi ones that are two tone
But my favorite one is a similar one from subsect

Plead the fifth, sip wine stiffly
Patiently come up and be spiffy in a jiffy
Gift for the grind, criminal mind shifty
Swift with the nine through a fifty nine fifty

This is probably my coolest hat.

Well folks. 100% cotton. Good form. Antihero DLX support. Local shop support. SnapBack, but eh… good for getting sweaty.
Solid buy. Happy.

Solid hat you got there. Sorry I didn’t say so earlier.
Better loose than too tight! Like trucks.
Tight trucks are like wearing no hat on a hot sunny day: completely useless and bad form.

That hat is the gnar-gnar.
-
Aussie bias, but have always enjoyed the Passport trucker caps, nice shape with really good breathability.
-
I prefer a mellower concave on the bill, not to flat not to steep, somewhere in the middle.
I also stay away from red top caps… shits bad news
-
Carhartt caps were my favorite but they seem to have changed. My new one seems deeper and the material feels thinner. Disappointing, now I can no longer say I have a favorite hat.

Make sure to please pass the hat on when you’re done with it. Done for you might not be done for someone else.
Sounds like you like a (II) or (III) shape.
-
New Era low profiles are cool.
-
I’ve found my love in FTC camp hats, but only the canvas ones.
I tried a tweed one and it’s so over sized I like ridiculous

Thanks pal.
I was wondering if anyone knows the name of the hat john Lennon has?
Which also makes me think I know who has the best hat in skatebloarding. It's that guy who skates with Ritchie Jackson to redemption song.
I can't remember his name rn and I feel like a dick about it. That dude is sick

Quick update. This antihero hat was made for a child. I have to wear it with only the last snap attached, and it makes the back this weird upside “V”.
My head is huge, I guess.
Still love the hat though.

There’s a weird RVCA Quiksilver outlet near me. They have some good cheap unstructured strap backs that you can easily remove the brand labels off of with a seam ripper and put your own patches on.

I know this isnt very helpful but I remember there was a company that had a kickstarter to make helmets that looked like a hat. Unfortunately (for some) it looks like a five panel. I dont mind five panels but its worth looking into if theyre still around

"What hat is best" thread: here's your answer.

As corny as they are, those hats the creature guys wear are likely the best at actually protecting you from the sun…

You mean like the Cody Lockwood look with the big brim? If so, that could be a whole lane. A skateboarding Sia or Marlon Brando from Dr Moreau could really go
