    5 Hat Brands You Don't See On Every Guy

Transcript

Five hats that will make people ask where you got your hat. First up is Bad on the Worse. They just did their first drop and the silhouette of their hats is perfect. I love the distressing and the vintage blue color. Definitely a brand worth keeping on your radar. And Represent has been one of my favorite hat brands for a while. Their hats just have a great feel and shape on your head. They've also done some cool collabs with NFL and MLB teams. And then in Gale out of Amsterdam, they have that vintage European energy that's hard to find sometimes in a hat from The US. Next is Arianne, really clean mid crown five panel hat that fits good on pretty much any head shape. And then Freddie Tyler Paul, really beautifully embroidered hats with some fun designs and a ton of great colorways to choose from. I have a giant list of my favorite hats in my shop, Mind, that I'm always adding to. So check it out if you like hats.
