Expensive caps!!!

[Bigfoot]

What the crap. Have you looked at the price of a cap lately? I'm not inclined to wear a cap. They just don't feel right to me. I guess if I was wired to wear one, I would feel differently. They've gotten outrageous. It's $30 plus bucks for a ball cap. On top of that, your paying for advertising.

I've got a BIL and a couple friends that keep me in caps and I don't mind advertising for them either.

don't understand the advertising part,, tractor supply, John Deere, and a few others are really proud of it...

I go through 3-4 caps a year and receive about a dozen for free. Got boxes of them in the closet

I usually get lots free but bought one today that reverses from Camo to Blaze orange. $14 Needed the orange for bear hunting and will never wear it otherwise.

I’m on the free cap program. Must be a thousand of em in my closet.

Yeah caps are expensive but I rarely go anywhere without one. I don’t like the mesh ones they pull my hair so I buy the more expensive ones. When I was around rodeo I use to get a bunch for free.

Same here. I try to stay caught up by giving them away myself. I get one on my head that I like I may wear it til my wife throws it away when I'm not looking. Some are probably expensive but most are made in Vietnam or Bangladesh and pretty cheap.

I cannot get by without one - so I get lots for Christmas.

Hard to believe they have gone up that much.

Cheers

Used to be about all the agricultural places handed them out about this time of year, I reckon a lot have tightened up. Stockyards is about the only place I get a free one anymore. Sometimes cattle meetings have some donated from various sponsors as door prizes, might end up with one that way once in a great while. Kind of goes against my grain to buy one, but lately have been getting a couple from the Angus and Hereford Associations. For hats to work outside in the winter, i like the insulated Carhartts with ear flaps, they ain't cheap, but last a while.

Buy a $50,000 tractor and they will give you a free one.

Ya I make people pick out a hat and take it home every time they come to my house. Most that are given to me are too small. I like all the flex-fit hats.

As a general rule, a free cap will look stupid on your head.

I think its more a case of me, looking stupid under it :kid:

I seldom get a free hat I like the looks of.

 

[ez14.]

I also get lots of free hats! Plus my employers wife runs a small embroidery business so I could probably get free hats with anything I want on them! (I have only asked for hats with the farm logo though)

 

[Brute 23]

I have to watch what I wear some times or I will look like a walking billboard between the hats, shirts, cups, pocket knives, etc.

What really sucks is when its a company I fired and don't care for but they have great hats. When you get one that is broke in and fits right its hard to just not wear it.

You all know why farmers and ranchers don't wear flip flops or Bermuda shorts? It is because feed, seed, and fertilizer companies don't give them away. I have a box full of free hats. And the wife is pretty good at sorting through them and tossing out the bad looking ones. Just got a new one last week from Simplot. They gave me a calendar too.

 

[talltimber]

I don't think I've ever directly paid for one, that I can recall. Get plenty from the feed store, just gotta ask them. They will gesture toward the store room and they have a wall shelf full of them, take your pick. Tall, old school "trucker hats", low pro new style caps, some with the plastic tab/nubbins, some stretch, some velcro. Camo, flames, about all colors really, summer/winter. I dont care for the stretch, without turning it around backwards and looking like a dbag, you'll lose it running the lake/river.

More times than not the problem is with the head. :lol2: :lol: :hide:
