Where to find a plain old hat?

The standby, super basic, ballcap has been douched.

I want a basic ball cap. My last favorite one was made by Kavu. It didn't sit so far down on the head to mess with glasses. Other than that, it was a plain old hat, semi cool in dull tone plaid. Kavu doesn't have anything like that on their website anymore.

It has long since worn out and isn't really wearable anymore, though I try. In shopping for new ones I can't find anything that doesn't scream "Look at me for I am a giant douche".

They all seem to be trucker, climber logo, flat billed, 80's neon, or corporate logo, in many cases, a combination of all these.

Where are you non douche types buying hats? Seems simple. It isn't.

Not looking for running or athletic styles. Not looking for sports teams.

Colorado thrift stores yes. Mid west and Texas thrift stores not so much.

Now that the uber christian owner has sold the store, I might be inclined to shop there more often.

This seems to fit your criteria perfectly.

either type "plain hat" into google or stop being the kind of guy who judges everyone based on their hat

yeah, then get them to embroider Kavu on it. Or giant walking duche. Pretty much the same thing here in the sotheast, and now for that fuking Yakima rack on the back of your Subaru......

Its ironic that you're so concern with not looking duchey that you come off as a giant duche.

Flatbill, beany, fedora, cowboy hat, sombrero, turban... You're "plan ass baseball cap"... Do you think wearing any of those make you cooler than the other (maybe the sombrero)?

At least I can take my flatbill off at the end of the day. You're stuck with your crappy outlook for the rest of your life.

I thought this was a climbing website.
