Default Favorite Hats - Design your own

We're in the process of designing some new hats, one of which I want to be camo-based so guys can wear it in the field. The current hat we've spec'd out has the two front panels camo and the underside of the bill camo with the rest of the hat being a dark brown. The front of the hat has a frayed brown "patch" with our logo in it. I personally think it looks cool, but I want feedback from everyone else on what kind of hats you like.

So tell me, if you could design your very own hat picking any color combination you wanted and have any sort of artwork on it that you like, what would it be?

Keep in mind things like the type of closure on the back - snaps, buckle, or velcro. (sorry, no flex fit). The top of the bill and bottom of the bill can be different colors. You can have a frayed bill for a "worn" look. Embroidery pretty much wherever you want it. Front, sides, back, on the bill, etc. My only real camo options are Realtree AP, MO Break-Up, or some off-brand patterns.

If anyone has photos of their favorite hats, post them up. I want to see them.

You are a woman, therefore your option is null and void.

U cancelled out the flex-fit hats???? Is it not an option?? I personally will only prefer to buy flex-fit or fitted hats anymore.

I hunt with a flex fit bass prohat. Reason being is I can turn the hat around and wear it backwards while on stand and not have those damn straps digging into my forehead! Also it blends well with 3/4 face masks! Plus ya know it looks good!!!

So know ideas.....
----Hunting hat~~ (described above) but otherwise I would go with a standard cotton/poly hat all camo with a Tan color logo maybe stitch in some outlined faint orange around the lettering with a velcro strap(not so rough on the head)! I would also put a slogan/saying/sponsor/name/established 19** /etc.... on the backof or on the strap of the hat.
---- Personal hat~~ I dont think you can go wrong witha standard white,black,or blue with your logo done in a opposing color. It makes the logo stand out better and its simple.If anything I would say to fray up the logo and the bill a tad bit tomake it more noticeable! If you do go the frayed look some people may not like it though? Keep it simple and it should be fine??I would say those three colors are your most common hat colors(white my personal fave)! It does'nt have to be all designed out to look nice, OR maybe im just BORING????

My three favorite hats here in front row! The middle one is my hunting hat! I never thought I would ever line my hats up for a photo op[&:]!

I like the buckle adjustment best. The hat sounds pretty good but I'm not into the frayed look myself, maybe just the logo embroidered on the front panels.

Well so much for my two cents!

I don't really care what it looks like... because I can't see it.... My favorite hat right now is my old Max-4 cap I bought at the college bookstore.... reads "The Citadel" in baby blue letters.... whole thing is dang near black now and its downright disgusting.... but its just getting good and comfortable!

Honestly Justin I thought the ones we have were pretty good looking.... I wore the one you sent me all fall for deer hunting.... even shot geese in it... nice and comfortable.... the non-camo one you sent I gave to Rebecca and she won't give it back!
