By FAR, the most expensive hat (I ever bought)

- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- After wearing and trying more than 100 hats, I finally found the cap that solves all of my (hat-related) problems… but it cost me… a lot, so in this video, I want to share why this $7,000 hat is worth every penny.

Signed up for the secret email not because the cap scratched an itch but your videos have always helped me gain new perspectives (albeit not buying the items in review/question) so will be purchasing to support the channel!
My number one interest is making sure that it is a large enough hat to fit my Charlie Brown sized head. We’re talking 7 7/8 or size 8. If that happens, you have this person as a customer! I wear hats all the time as long as they fit and that is the rub.
+1 for this…I often get excited by hats but am often disappointed because my size 8 (65 cm) head…also a sweat factory, requires more fabric 😃
@@hiddenrhythmsmusiccircles same big heads unite!
Melonheads unite!
I wasn't going to mention the brim as I understood why you went with a short one but I agree aesthetically a longer one would look better. I will still get this one in hopes you invest in a longer brim version.
This is the hat I have been looking for! Short brim is awesome and packable. So excited. I’ll def buy one.
Signed up for the early bird! I'm not a traveler, but I'm a sweater and love how I can keep the hat clean so easily without risk of damaging it, as well as the breathability you mention to reduce sweating! Looking forward to October when I receive it!
Make a long brim version. Protecting my face from the sun is the main reason I wear a cap.
Cool, reminds me of those bike messenger caps. Can pocket them, have a short brim, and fit under helmets
Hell ya man! Your channel has been super helpful for me, happy to repay you! Can't wait to try it on!
I did it. I pledged! Looking forward to it! Thanks, Maurice!
I couldn’t believe it when this video dropped as I’ve been looking for YOUR cap for ages! Of course you designed it! 😂👊🏻
Signed up. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼😎
This is perfect. Glad you're doing this. Excited to get one of each.
My only suggestion is to have non Velcro strap options. Velcro is a NIGHTMARE for anyone with curly and/or long hair. Just pain, frustration, and ripping
Hoping you have a “can’t choose” option where you can buy one of each. Love your channel and content - thank you for all the effort you put into it.
Signing up! I ‘scratched my own itch’ years ago, and am always up for supporting other great ideas, especially when people whose opinions I trust are launching them!
What I need to do more of is address my own solutions.
Love your videos and the attention to design details on the hat is awesome - looking forward to getting the launch email 🧢🚀
The brim seems too short to provide enough shade
5:35 Looking at this video again, I can’t get over how small this hat looks on you from the side. Especially when you’re doing the machine work.
How much has the wire brim been tested? Also, looks like you’d need to adjust the curve of the wired brim version each time you take it out of your bag since it looks soft enough to smoosh into a bag in the first place.
Thats a nice Raptors hat! I grew up a big VC and TMac fan. I'm a Heat fan so I also love Bosh obviously. Wish you guys the best of luck.
Please do consider those with larger heads.
As someone who is nearly 2 meters tall and has lived in east and southeast Asia for 35 years, finding hats which fit has been as big a challenge as finding large sized shoes. Personally, I stay away from moto taxis. Taking a tuktuk is not much more expensive and makes it easier to carry a bag. All the shots in the video were using Grab. We have Grab in Cambodia as well as Passapp and several others. Unlike Thailand and Indonesia we don't have many moto taxis. And for this I am grateful. Wearing someone else's helmet is... gross. And most helmets are designed for much smaller heads than mine. I am certain that I would be unable to wear any of the helmets shown in the video.
I'm going to be a backer, just because I ended up getting a 45L Pakt bag, and I love it.
Can't wait to the opportunity to get one!
Nothing about this product applies to me but signing up to purchase just to support you. I'm always nicely surprised by how you find time to come up with things (I e redesigning Eva logo in flight ). You will make difference.
Can’t wait Maurice…great work
Did you try the western rise versa cap? Its also 4 way stretch, machine washable, soft and has a soft eva brinm that can scrunch and pack and pop back
Until I saw this cap I never wanted patches. I’m really bummed your patches are sold out. I just didn’t want them on my bags but wow a hat is a Great idea.
This hat reminds me of a gore-Tex TNF hat I had back in the 90’s I really miss that hat and yours come closest to it maybe a gore-Tex version in the near future? I really like the Velcro patch great idea for personalization 👍👍 fantastic job overall. Everything isn’t for everyone but this hat is def for me looking forward to the launch.
Yes please. Looking forward to it.
Any chance you’ll produce any that fit the big-head individual? Have to buy specialty ones or have eBay alerts set up for dead stock of models that will fit my Size 8+ head.
I have 1 of my many hats that i always wear for 5 years. An old adidas C40 Climachill Carbon. They're not selling the same version anymore.
Things I like about it:
1. Fit. Fits my big head without looking goofy.
2. Material. Super soft and breathable but very durable fabric (without typical running cap "holes"). It's also pocketable (brim is only the stiff part)
3. Versatility. Goes on casual to smart casual outfit. Doesnt look like an active wear (subtle logo color only slightly darker than fabric) and doesn't have that "shine" from nylons and polyester.
4. Handy. Has that thin plastic buckle closure you can easily release so you can hang it EASILY on your bag strap, loops, or rings. (my favorite feature)
5. Look. It's been with me for 5yrs as a daily beater but the color aged so good. I bought it Carbon colored now it's Dark Ash maybe 1 tone lighter. (doesnt collect and no visible lints!)
I ride mototaxi almost everyday and this is promising.
I'll probably buy your hat but would still wear mine indefinitely!
Maybe on the future iterations, I'll see the qualities of my old one and let it retire.
Always loved your channel!
I'll definitively buy this hat
Decathlon, a french brand sells a cap with exact same features for < $10 in India :)
Yesssss! Lol...I have major "ick" having to wear those well-worn safety helmets. I like the design of your caps...easy for ponytails too. Well done!😊
Just backed the Kickstarter project!
Any chance the 2 caps version will be available in both colors? Also would they provide UV blocking with such thin materials especially the meshed black version?
Good point…UV protection
Sooo the hat doesn't actually cost 7K. Thank God!
Hey mourice! Love your channel, since you only use the best of the best! Could you give your honest review and opinions about the XDDESIGN BOBBY SLING? I would love to hear your thought !
The one thing that everybody gets wrong is that somehow the Velcro strip or the Velcro system should be replaceable because eventually Velcro dies, and if you could somehow just replace the whole strip or strap system not just on a hat, but on anything that uses Velcro would be amazing. Obviously it’s not necessarily going to be something you should have to do on everything, but on some things where the Velcro strip gets ruined so fast it would be great. This hat is pretty cool except for some reason I do not like the shape of it and would not wear that thing. If it looked more like a baseball cap and had all the other qualities, I would definitely buy one, but the brim is just too short and it’s not gonna be the style a lot of people want to wear. If I t looks more like a regular baseball hat I will buy it for sure. Not everybody is going to wear their hat under a motorcycle helmet so a larger brim would definitely increase sales if you at least provided another version.
What are you looking for is the Adidas Adventure Trail hat. My personal favorite with all those charateristics, more breathable and much cheaper too. 😂
I have my own requirement... I have a BIG dome... and hats that "fit" often don't have the appropriately sized brim, unless it's a wide brim hat, and they often have such a hard, flat brim edge that it pushes into my forehead and causes pain. How does your hat work for larger heads, and how does it look?
So basically cycling cap! Bit larger
I can already tell you that wire is a weak point and is a matter of time before it breaks
Honestly from the videos I’ve seen about product development I am pretty impressed that you got it right for your needs in only 7k I would have thought it would be more like 17k.
How much?
it seems like a great hat, the main reason i usually wear a hat is to avoid the sun. how would one avoid getting sun burn on the ears and on the back of the neck. I don't know how to solve that problem with the front bream hat when i go for long hikes and my ears and neck are burn to a crisp.
Check out hats from Korea, google Korean sun hats or similar words. They have a solution for avoiding as much as as possible.
Waterproof?
Scratch your owned hitch..
😆😆😆😆😆
Use you fingers
This is one best thing I heard....the price 😄😄😄
With the thousand problems listed, why wear a cap at all?😁
Put removable pockets (with velcro soft side on hat, scratchy side on pocket) inside. You will be amazed how many of us do hat mods to have those. Pockets need to be credit card size.
oh welp it hits all my needs
Need a video on the hats that met all your needs minus the hygiene one!
You took the words out of my mouth with the first 2. Travel with a hat that doesn’t self destruct. And evaporates sweat. Excellent!
I'd 100% wear this hat... If I could. My locs would never let me put this on my head lol
It looks a little ridiculous….The brim is way too short and it looks like a little kids hat.
Good luck, know it all. You’re gonna need it
You know that plastic bit at the back of the hat, that adjusts hat sizes… well undo it completely and then reattach it to the top of your backpack/carry-on. I typically travel with 3 or 4 different hats and carry them that way… never gets damaged.
Nothing in this world can get me to spend 7k on a hat.
coyote and/or olive colorways would be appreciated for those who prefer a lighter color
When are you visiting Taiwan to recreate your father's picture? Will you be making a video about it?
Very cool! I’m in
oh yeah!
I didn't even finish watching and signed up right away!
So early! My guess is it's a different currency.
ah, 7k in development costs. I thought it'd be higher! Good job.
Cool
I personally love the short brim. You may have designed a hat that meets all my wants and needs too.
And now one for the ladies...! _My_ itch. Full brim, adjustable depth of crown (beret/cloche), hide-able chin-line for wind. OK, who's you prototyper? 😂
I just wear a boonie hat for all the reasons you mention in your hat problems. You are not alone.
msrp?
Follow link to sign-ups email.... $39.
These are just running hats. They are $20. I’ve run multiple marathons in this style hat..
should have found a better balance of form and function. right now this is all function with 0 form/fashionability unless youre going for the mars blackmon look. fan of your content, but a pass for me. good luck with this.
😂🤣😂
So this is just a paid commercial
did i just watch a 7 minute add?
No did you get 7 minutes explanation how a product has been created and worth
You are going to get absolutely clowned if this gets out of your bubble.
I wouldn’t go that far. It just looks like a cyclist’s hat
Ни о чём имхо.
Omg im first 🥇
The crown is too short and so is the brim. The crown should be in proportion to the length of your face and the brim to the width of your head and shoulders. As a helmet liner it’s great. Otherwise you have to be small to pull off a hat that looks like it’s the youth uniform of a fascist regime or Cub Scouts.
Ah yes, the de facto hat:face that all hats must comply unless they want to be considered childish. Nevermind the casquette, flat, gatsby, or other examples of short brimmed short crowned hats.
Did you even watch the video? He walked us through the whole design process; he designed it for himself. Don't like it? Fine, don't get one.
It kind of looks like a cyclist’s cap. It looks too small and tight
@@peteradrian9466 yes I watched it and he ended up with a helmet liner because form follows function. I gave my opinion so he doesn’t waste another seven thousand or more. If he doesn’t like my opinion he can still do whatever he wants. It’s not war it’s business.
If you want to look like Junior Sammy Davis Junior at a little league game be my guest. It might be perfect for you.
What a waste of time
i love your videos but you're out of touch with people if you think the hat is worth $7k.
would you purchase this hat if it wasnt something you created? would you be willing to pay $7k for it? i get the whole r&d and time but anyone who makes apparel will spread that over everything.
to you, this hat is $7k, to us its worth $80 tops.
You're a smart guy. This is a great idea. Especially with your UA-cam platform. Congrats I think this will explode
