Once upon a time, baseball hats were made where they were invented, America.


Then globalization happened.


Everything from textiles and apparel to automobiles to building materials to food and medicine was slowly eroded and destroyed.


It's been an absolute sh*t show.


For too long we have sat on the sidelines blaming the corporations or billionaires or the liberals or warmongers.


Everyone except ourselves.


And maybe hats seem like a silly thing to care about but someone has too.


For some reason I've always loved hats. I started 2 hat companies and finally had enough sending my work to China.


It's time to make a change.


To enter the arena.


For God and Country.
