Straight brimmed ball caps

-
This guy "Butch" keeps showing up at practice and gigs!! He's a red ***, hard playing, opinionated old grouch who can really pick, and let's you know it whenever he can!! He wears a different hat every week, usually always an 80's style puffy foam front with some Butch-like logo on it!! He was gone this week so I had to do my best Butch imitation in his absence!! I'm wearing my Kendall hat that I got from my grandpa when I was a little kid!! Butch would approve!!!

Straight brimmed ball caps look STUPID!!!! Unless the club is full of teenage punk rock rapper wanabees, don't buy them. Some things are not worth buying no matter how good the price is.
 
I'm not into the straight out of the box look myself.
I think its kinda Gaaaaaaayyyy !!!!! (add emphasis)
If i wore my ballcaps with a flat bill when i was a kid, id be called a geek, or a nerd.
Breaking the bill to the shape you wanted was a normal thing.
Too each their own i guess.

Heres the question though, can you break the bill on em to mould em into a normal ball cap? If so then whats wrong with em? Young kids like the day 1 look, us oldsters like the day 2 look.

Nope, they can't be bent like a regular hat, if you're ever in a hat store or walmart or wherever, grab a bent bill and a flat bill and compare the shape of the hat (not the bill) itself, completely different, you can bend them just a little but no where close to how I like mine bent
 
Oh well it was worth a shot to appease everybody. Maybe buy the hats through cafe press, and buy some of each type.
 
the bill is maybe made of concrete!!!! ha

every generation has its fades. maybe sometimes they go full circle???? some are just dumber than others???

maybe the flat bill is fashion "co ordinating" with baggy falling off the a** pants!??? ha
 
three words about flat bill hats....NEVER NEVER NEVER !!!!!!!!!!
 
Y'all are pretty uptight about your hats, sheesh. I guess it fits, it is a Mopar site after all.

I don't think anybody's uptight at all. We were asked an opinion and we are giving it. Pro or con.

Get the curved brim ones since they come in the box with a flat brim anyways, and if the kids want to wear em as a flat brim "straight out the box" then let em. Tag and all. Then break the brim on yours.

Problem solved

They didnt have flat brim hats in the mid 1980s when this homeboy trend started in the inner cities. These kids wore regular ball caps "straight out the box" eventually manufacturers capitalized on this look.
 
laugh if ya like. I set up a booth at a ??? event, selling flat brim hats and stick on tattoos....... choice of words. 99% of the hat buyers opted for tat that said "stupid", or "dumbass" or "homeboy"..... money maker!! LOL
 
Must be the Thug caps you guys are talking about. You got to sell the shades to go with them also.

Yeah, the soot's a *****. So is burning red hot slag on your bald spot! I like the cheapie disposable cotton ones. they last a few months, and you just grab a new one.
 
What's the purpose of a hat?
I wear a cotton BDU boonie.
It is comfortable with out the cursed one size fits all strap in the back.
(Really, Really Hate That)
It is washable.
It keeps the sun off in the summer.
It is warmer in the winter since I've found it holds the heat around your head unlike a bill cap.
It is crushable and can go in my cargo pockets in a split second.
It is impossible to wear it backwards.

Now if you are wearing a hat for style, all bets are off.
