JJC, okay, here's my unbiased take on the subject of this thread.
When I got my TSC hat a few months ago from winning a contest on your site (first winner of the Heisman: Jesse Beranger, U. of Chi.) I thought - cool. We've got a nice hat going here. Good color balance in the shade of green for the cap (not too dark, not too bright) and the tan for the bill (which successfully pulls off the imitation suede appearance). Leather strap in the back, as opposed to the plastic snappies: A+. Quality embroidery in the logo (raised-stitch) not to mention what is a perfect choice of fonts and mix of uppercase/lowercase in the logo itself.
And the best thing is, the hat doesn't suffer from what we serious students of baseball cap design call "high hat" - which as everyone knows is the problem which occurs when there is an excess degree of airspace between the wearers hairline and the cap itself, a dead-giveaway for a poorly designed hat causing all wearers to appear, in the technical parlance, "dorky" (as an aside, there's an ongoing debate in the "community", if you will, over the precise way to quantify high hat -- the Chicago School theorists argue for an absolute measurement, while the work coming out of Berkley argues for a more relativistic approach based on head shape, as best laid out in what was the movement's manifesto, Slothrop and Haller's "Phrenological Arguments for a Post-Structuralist Ontology" published in the Journal of Caps, Hats and Visors). So, the fit is incredibly comfortable.
In summary, I am an unapologetic supporter of the James Cramer hat. It's a first class product that exudes quality and it's the best damn hat I have. It gets the job done in the areas that really matter - look cool, feel comfortable, hide bed head...
Wait a second...this isn't the James Cramer Hat Thread!!!!
How embarassing.
Please accept my apologies.
Two Geno's whiz wit' on me the next time you're back in your old stomping grounds <g>
Good trading,
