I like the hat (I bought 4 different hats not just a Hamms hat) but I and all of the people I know think “distressed” is WAY over played and the Angry Minnow took it to another level with yellow/brown coloring to resemble dirt and sweat. It’s mildly gross. Distressed is only necessary for costumes and wannaB’s. Those of us that ACTUALLY drink Hamms/Shlitzs/PBR and turn wrenches, work with our hands and drive fast don’t need anything to be distressed. I would have preferred a nice clean crisp hat to enjoy for years and let it become naturally broke in. But I did not see that offered at Angry Minnow. So upon opening my box of 4 hats and kinda being put off by the child like overdone distressed “look” (it’s like having V8 exhaust sounds coming from an electric car =lame) my daughter said “the patch is nice and well done, I can sew that to a nice hat for you dad.”
The hats do fit well. So there’s that.
