The Chronic Consumer

I don’t have a huge collection of baseball-style hats. I usually just have two or three that I rotate when I’m going to be out in the sun or when I’m too lazy to do anything with my hair other than pull it into a ponytail. I recently had to retire one of my hats because it was just looking disgusting (sweat stains, etc.) and decided I would get a Blackhawks hat this time around. I’ve never had a Hawks hat, but found this cool-looking one with the Tomahawk logo. I love it!

The first thing I look for in a hat is whether or not it’s adjustable. I hate fitted caps because there’s no hole for me to fit my ponytail through, and I cannot wear hats without a ponytail. This particular hat, which is from ’47 Brand, by the way, is adjustable. I don’t especially like the buckle-style strap, but whatever. It works.

Next, I look at the shape of the crown. The one on this hat is perfect because it’s right in the middle of that totally slouched look and the opposite (not really sure what it’s called, but it’s when the hat looks stiff and pre-shaped). This middle ground provides a very nice, comfortable fit.

And finally, I consider the color and logo. You can’t go wrong with black, and I personally love the Blackhawks tomahawk logo. I think it’s great on hats and isn’t completely overused like the team’s main Indian head logo.

I bought this Tomahawk logo hat online for about $23, and am very happy with it. I can totally recommend it without reservation to any Blackhawks fan out there!
