Fedoras with embroidery or patches

I think we need a new trend: fedoras with embroidery or patches on the front. I'm not talking about fine felt fedoras, but those crushable cloth fedoras. (I can't remember the name of the style right now.)

From time to time, I run into ball caps that have cute slogans or logos on them. Every time I am tempted to buy one, my wife reminds me that I look terrible in ball caps. (I agree with her; I just forget sometimes.)

I am tired of feeling left out and not being able to express myself the way everyone else does :)

New? A trend? I suppose that depends on your definition. Good luck with your posts but hopefully you have noticed that this site is focused primarily on vintage apparel and modern reproductions of the same. You are unlikely to find much activity here regarding embroidery, patches, funny sayings or match sticks on hats, or hats that have been intentionally abused, ripped, torn or burned to make them look old or worn.

Well you know me, always the contrarian...

I just finished making this hat from a new FEPSA rabbit felt (no vintage hats were harmed in this handicraft experiment). Instead of a traditional ribbon and bow, I added stitching in the style of Japanese sashiko embroidery, using the traditional wave motif. My lines could be more perfect, but it was literally the first time I've tried it. The other band is natural indigo dyed.

That's cool.
