“bought this hat for my husband for christmas, I was not expecting the hat to be as thick and warm as it is. My husband was wearing it for a few minutes inside after opening it on christmas morning and he started to sweat. So this hat is WARM! The only negative would be that is is a pretty large/thick hat so it can look a bit odd just with the size being so much bigger compared to regular ball caps. Don't get me wrong, I understand its so big because of the thermal layer but the size is just something I noticed.”
“I’ve always loved the Lumberjack style hats and own several “regular” ones, the Trapper style ones with the front flap that make you wanna yell, “SH*TTER’S FULL!” like Cousin Eddie from Christmas Vacation, and not that you couldn’t yell that in this one (I would still encourage it), this flat-billed style adds a unique twist where I don’t feel like I HAVE to be drinking Pabst in my tighty-whiteys on the steps of a RV. I get compliments on this hat all the time with both dudes and chicks asking where I got it. Of course I don’t tell them because I want to be the only one around wearing it, but still… Just kidding you guys of course I tell them. That I MADE IT MYSELF! HAHAHAHA HIGH FIVE! No? Ok. I have a pretty good size melon that needs a good size Melin (see what I did there?!) and many SnapBack style hats are either clinging for dear life by one button in the back like Stallone in Cliffhanger and/or the hat only comes like halfway down my dome and I look like one of those booger-eating little kids whose parents put em in the too-small hat as though they’re actually hoping he’ll get beat up every day at school. I wear 7 3/4 in pro-fit hats if that helps. And this hat fits (Ace Ventura voice) “LIKE A GGLLLOOVVEEE!” I mean don’t get me wrong I still have the back strap loosened quite a bit because of said moosehead, but it’s not like to the last millimeter of strap like I was fearing it might be. And the inside fabric is soft but not itchy and keeps your head warm without it feeling like you have a polar bear’s arms squeezing your dome within its 1000 degree fur sauna. Fur sauna could be used to describe other things too I suppose but I digress… I tend to run warm so most beanies etc make me sweat like Santa Claus in a Hot Wings eating contest, even when it’s cold out, but also a regular hat or hood isn’t warm enough, so this badboy is the happy medium my cranium has been yearning for! If my ears are cold: FLAPS DOWN. If my ears are fine: FLAPS UP. It ain’t rocket science but I’m pretty sure some kinda science is involved. AnyHOO, if you like the traditional lumberjack trappers like I do, and you also like flat-billed hats like I do, then add this to your cart right now, numbnuts! I suppose you could also curve the bill if you wanted, but don’t blame me if you release a slew of demondogs from the underworld after you do it. Is it a little pricey? Sure. Are all of Melin’s hats a little pricey? Sure. BUT. This is one of those situations where the product warrants a higher price. I own one of their hydro ones and another one which I’m blanking on the style name, and I can attest that those two and now this flaptastic addition are of pretty F’n superior quality. I own New Eras, Pro-Fits, Flex-Fits, snapbacks, Kangols, Ebbets Fields, Brixtons, even a couple Stetsons, and Melin is very high up the list in terms of quality, if not the very top. So there. How’s that for a review, MoFos?! I never write ones this long. Maybe it’s because I love this hat. Maybe it’s because I just drank 32 ounces of coffee and might sh*t myself soon. Either way, as the eBay kids say, “A+ Highly Recommend!”. — John Cougar Melincamp (I can’t stop, you guys)”
“Dissapointed with the ear flaps. They have a wire trim that won't allow them to lay flat against ur ears. Dont keep ears warm at all. I had to return.”
“All you’d expect it to be and more. Of course it looks cool but it’s made even better than you’d imagine turning it into oddly your favorite hat. If you are afraid to wear this as your favorite hat during summer months then this hat isn’t for you!”
