In the hat world, a baseball cap is a novelty item. When it comes to sun protection, its like a bikini on a motorbike.

If there is one thing that irks me, it's the baseball cap. Sure they can look cute, and they are easy to wear, but they don't work as a hat and are far from flattering. Someone has to stop this madness.

When it comes to wearing a hat well, there is one thing that matters more than anything else - tilting your hat!
