Brethren Hat Poll

Kathy's Smokin' · May 23, 2013

I would buy one to support the brethren but would likely not wear it much. I like the idea of a cotton baseball hat. Glad we had the trucker version explained. I'm not a fan of the mesh hats in panels that remain hexagonal-ish. Thanks for offering your connection, SA.

Hey, hat wearers -- do you find black hats give you a hotter head in the sun? I like the idea of a black hat the best for overall look, just wondering for those who wear hats, if a black hat is hotter. Would a charcoal grey make a difference?

Just make sure there is an XXL option for us melon headed dudes

Ill second that ...I'd need at least a size 8.
I just bought an Atlanta Braves fitted hat for $35...large melon coverage is expensive :-D

I usually wear a black ball cap and I don't find it particularly hot (or hotter than non-black).

Something with "style" would be great!

I don't notice that my head is hotter with a black hat. My biggest problem with black hats is that they show the sweat stains a lot more prominently than most colors.

I also wear quite a few black caps and I live in Florida. While I personally don't notice much of a difference I do believe they will be hotter than other colors. However I still like the black caps. Also black is slimming for those with the melon heads, Something to think about. :mrgreen:

:grin::grin::grin:I vote for "cost is no object" but I have litte interest in a "baseball" hat. The hat should have some style:

Never have trusted those. Sunburn's an issue for me.

silverfinger · May 23, 2013

It would be nice if you could post hats with the dollar amount next to it so we could compare hats and price.

Either way, I would probably buy whatever you had as long as it was black or dark blue:becky:

OK, Back to the woodpile:bolt:

Tsevg9 · May 23, 2013

Ok, lots of talk going on about hats. I want to buy one... Shut up and take my money!! Haha.

Seriously though, should I just keep checking out the store to see when they are in stock?

Drh7003 · May 24, 2013

I would go $25 if it is a decent cap. We have these at work:

Are your caps embroidered or screen printed?

Do you know how many caps your company ordered and what they paid for them (inclusive with imprint or embroidery costs + shipping)?

I am on the event committee for our local chamber. A couple of weeks ago I just started to get into the confusing world of trying to find quality embroidered caps and t-shirts.

It is really a mine field trying to find quality products at the right price from the primary distributor.

I really get aggravated in dealing with middle-men who are masquerading as primary distributors.

Any additional information you can provide would be great!

Slamdunkpro:

Many thanks for starting the Brethren Hat Poll. It was definitely needed.

Also many thanks and hats off to you for all of the hard work you have done in producing quality Brethren banners!

Another hats off to you for spending numerous hours "separating the wheat from the chaff" in trying to find a honest distributor that will sell you a quality cap at a reasonable price!

I am surprised that no on has given this thread a rating yet.

So, as of right now, I am giving your thread a well deserved 5-Star Rating!

Again, many thanks for your dedication.

Sincerely,

Ken

Yep that's a big issue. If you tell me you are the embroiderer there had better be a line of Brothers or Toyo's sitting in your facility when I come by.

The big issue with embroidery is digitizing the art. It's almost more of an art than a skill.

Some of ours are embroidered. It is simple Text. A few are screen printed.
We get ours local to Carlisle PA, Not sure of the company.
