folks,

Everywhere I go, I am bombarded with clothing items people are wearing with brand names. The most egregious exmaple of this is POLO with their 9"x4" ermbroidered horse.
It used to be only an inch long before... still is on most clothing.

To make the situation worse, I see people wearing "HARVARD" or "MIT" or "PRINCETON" jerseys, as though they are saying they are smarter than the rest of us not wearing them.

So I decided that screw them brand wearers...I am gonna wear this ROLEX logo hat to show my priide. To go head to head with the POLO guys anf ABERCROMBIE guys, and TOMMYYHILLFIGER guys...and the university guys...

I am not doing anything different than the people I am mocking but I am tired of clothing brands being shoved in my face so I am gonna shove ROLEX in their face...

By the way, I have never seen a ROLEX log being worn by anyone in my entire life in the form of a shirt or a hat...so it is definitely unique...
Maybe put this hat on and my DSSD and walk into an AD and see hwo I get trested...

:dud e:

\

If wearing this hat signifies that I am rich and cocky, so be it ...others with their brand name clothing are doing no less..

That hat doesn't say "hey look I'm rich and cocky" to me. It says "hey look I sat on my hat."

My Rolex hat looks the same. They don't have much structure to them...

Yup ... maybe they mean it has a large "hard-cover" part that covers your eyes? But I compared it with others and no diffs found...

I did find the embroidery quality on it just superb..I have seen numerous Rolex hats where it is not the case, especially in the emboridered crown.

Your taking my comment way to seriously. There i nothing "wrong" with your hat. Its a nice hat I just thought you were joking in your post about taking on the fashion snobs. Wear it with pride.

I think we ALL know what it actually says.

He must not wear hats! It's obviously an unstructured style!

I am just curious - what is unstructured style? This hat looks like all the other Rolex hat I see on ebay...

Some hats have rigid uppers in which the crown is pre-formed hence structured. Unstructured is when the hat forms to your head shape such as yours. Baseball players wear structured hats if you want an example.

Aha!! That's a good explanation... Thank you!

But if you are wearing the hat, you can not tell right? And how many times have you run across someone who says "Pardon me sir, that's an unstructured hat your wearing!" HA HA HA !!!

I do appreciate your explanation though... I learned something new.. Thank you

True. If you look at most young guys who wear flat billed hats you know it structured but the flat bill draws the most attention. Not the high crown.

Unstructured vs structured.
If my attachment worked the one on the bottom( or left) is obviously the unstructured one. Or the one I sat on. J/k

I wear this at home post purchase as my wife stands in the kitchen and I take a victory lap around the house. Hey! At my age sometimes I don't mind sleeping alone.

Hahaha! Lovely.
I like you already, and I don't even know you!!

Alcan · 2 February 2014, 12:25 AM

As a lifelong racing sailor I'd like to have that one in my collection

That Rolex oval looks unstructured!

TK-710 · 1 February 2014, 11:03 PM

I know what it is. My wife will tell you I have 100 more hats than any man needs. It's just the unstructured hats never scream rich or cocky. More like I got this for free by being one of the first 1000 people in attendance. I'm simply saying I don't believe people are going to give it a second thought. But if you want to take on the fashion snubs armed with that I wish you good luck as you fight the good fight.

My goal in buying this hat is not to compete with those with other brands or show
others I am into ROLEX or anything...or get angry at them and get into their faces.
The intent is purely that if I am going to advertise a brand, it is going to be ROLEX
and no other. THat's all...

If I can wear women's high heels with the ROLEX logo, then I will wear those too!!
....ok. maybe not ...

Speedbird-1 · 1 February 2014, 11:36 PM

The mugger that steals your watch won't want that hat, irrespective of the structure.

He wouldn't wear it, it attracts muggers.

Good luck.

You definitely have a point ...I will wear my seiko each time with the hat... the mugger will then definitely take off with the hat!

Hahaha!! Well said, my friend!

You could wear a Seiko hat, with the Rolex. That'll guarantee your watch safety, increase your self esteem and poke the hat logo Gestapo in the eye too!
Job done!

Cc1966 · 2 February 2014, 12:39 AM

Wear your Rolex hats with pride! I got a couple over the years from AD's and I love them.
