Anyone wear company hats?
on: February 14, 2018, 02:03:26 AM
I've collected a few knife/tool company hats over the years. Does anyone else have and wear hats that are related to the industry?

Nice hats.  I tend to not wear visible logos anywhere on my clothing.  I did wear a professional sports team hat for a while.

Same here. Having said that though, I like the CRK and MTO ones you have there... I would happily wear them!

Nice collection!  :tu:

Hmmm, I have on for MT.o, a couple of Vic and a Spyderco hat, for MT.o related, and a Weihenstephaner one for one of my other interests. :D

Logos can look dreadful if your wearing tweed or cords. I was thinking, maybe MTo should have some kind of crest or coat of arms? You know, for the more genteel sort of knife nut multitooler!  :think:

I never got why people wear headgear when it is not needed for physical protection and/or thermal insulation. Even then I find anything stuck to the top of my head annoying as smurf! But then again I am considered weird by most of humankind.  :ahhh

I have a Tesla Model X cap and a cap from a simulator helicopter training company, both gifts.

But nowadays I rarely wear any headgear, even when it’s cold, due to them interfering with my hearing aids. Coats with hoods instead!

I wear glasses. A cap is cheaper than prescription sunglasses. Many times cheaper.

I already have prescription sunglasses. Ergo, it makes sense to use them.  :D

(Even then, I barely use them. :facepalm:)

Nice assortment of hats, David!
My job is really dusty/dirty, so I usually wear a cap. Have found the 5.11 hats can be machine washed and dried w/o damaging them. I have the 2007, 2011, & 2016 versions. They have logos, but don't strike me as obnoxious. I get them free from a friend who gets them from the company as promotionals.

Cool, wish I could wear a hat at work. Course I would probably have larger balding spot than I currently have. I wear one on my days off if out and about or spend a bit outside to fend off the glare of the sun.

I did notice my hair is thinner after wearing a hat for a couple of years. But, no hat means metal and saw dust on the scalp all day. :ahhh

Aaaah this thread...
Reminds me of TP's Nintendo cap.
And therefore my ex-brother in law.

Will send him a text how he's doing and where the cap is...

I have heaps of hats... I go through quite a few of them, even though I only wear them while out of the house (which these days is much less than in the past).

I mostly have Montreal Canadians, Team Canada (hockey), Canada, Nova Scotia related hats, but there are some other odds and ends in there too... and I have both MTO hats.

I'd need several photos to get the full collection in, I'm not even sure how many I have now... I tend to buy a couple more hats each time I'm back in Canada, or whenever the ones I have are no longer wearable.
