I must say I was a bit skeptical when I pressed the buy now button at Cafe Press
I clicked the button and about a week later I got an unassuming cardboard box in the mail. The packaging was functional if not a little industrial.
After removing the hat from the box, I found that it didn't quite fit. Not to worry. Adjustment was a snap with the hook and loop fastener 'one size fits all' construction. A couple of seconds later and I was sitting at my desk in style.
The second problem I ran into was with the aforementioned hook and loop fasteners. I have pretty long hair and my hair kept getting caught up in the velcro when I removed the hat. Careful inspection of the velcro strap revealed that I had inadvertantly misaligned the straps allowing the hook portion of the fastener access to my hair. I realigned the straps and have not had the problem since.
Since then, the Old School Jaguar hat has become the staple of my everyday wardrobe. I wear it to work in the morning. I wear it to walk my dog. I wear it during presentations at my local MUG meetings.
The Old Shool Hat is perfect for:
*Shading your eyes from the sun
*Cutting the glare from track lighting while you surf the web in your
local coffee shop
*Creating that 'shifty' character look when there are people around that you don't want to talk to.
*Covering your glasses so that your boss can't see your computer monitor in them as he walks by.
The best part is that you are able to be a walking banner for the best Macintosh website on the net!
Everyone needs one of these things. The problems I encountered out of the box where minor and easily correctable.
5 out of 5 I say!
Stay tuned for my review of the 2 Guys Not Your Plain Old White T-shirt. Until then, don't touch your Mac unless you have your hat on.

Amazing! I wonder who makes their packaging, mine is getting old.

Were you drunk at 11 AM when you wrote this? If so, I like your style.

This is the sort of useful thing we need to do more of. And where the hell are the Official 2 Guys brand pants???!?
We could make a killing on those!

I know I'd buy a pair of thems!
Or maybe I lied, who knows?

If you see an animal and you can't tell if it's a skunk or a cat, here's a good saying to help: "Black-and-white, stinks all right. Tabby-colored, likes a fella."
