Nitto factory hat!! How cool is that?

[William]

I think it's incredibly cool.  I gotta get one.

I can see the attraction, but it looks too German soldier/Japanese soldier WWII era hat for my taste. Not my cup of tea.

But I do love other Nitto products!!

WWII?  I just see Pittsburgh Pirates, like Grant.  The extra appeal is I'm like Rich with a massive noggin.  Non-stretchy hats big enough for my dome are rare.

I fit 58 (right between 7-1/8 and 7-1/4) and which lets me find good buys on old fedoras, but the hat doesn't look terribly adjustable.  Otherwise, I like it.  Honestly, a Medium is not going to fit too many women.

Now there are new photos of the Nitto Factory.  Now I need a Nitto Factory shirt!  That would be dope (as the kids like to say).

I just got a Nitto T-shirt. Very nice. The hat is a little too square/odd for my tastes, though.

Hmmm, looks like my message was deleted?? Was that automatic or manual? Anyone get it in their inbox (reply to me only if you please)?

I never saw it, and I don't get those every-message emails.  Were you pointing out what a huge dorkus I am for wanting a Nitto Factory shirt?

Trying to remember, I think I wrote...

 

Ha! When I saw the pictures that was my first thought too. If I get the hat, well, I'm going to need the jacket too. [<-- the last phrase included a link to a reference of the book "If you give a mouse a cookie." Perhaps the link caused the delete? Come on Messrs Don't be Evil, it was a link to wikipedia.]

 

Also, I loved the non-plussed look of the three models. Grant, taken Eben to school. [Eben as in Weiss, as in Bike Snob. Those who know, know.]

I like it!

I was thinking they looked like a Devo album cover, like maybe New Traditionalists.
