I wanted to start posting my hat collection on
here, so I’ve decided to start with the hat that started it all for me; The
Franchise made by Twins Enterprise. It
was around the mid 2000’s when I first discovered the hat. Before that I owned a couple New Era
fitted’s but I never wore them much. I
wasn’t much of a hat guy because I never felt comfortable with how they looked
on me. Yet in the back of my mind I
dreamed of what the perfect hat would look like; it would be preppy in style,
the body would be canvas-like material and the brim would be easy to bend. I also dreamed that it would be a Yankees
hat, because I loved New York at the time (the city not the team, lol).
Then one day I was
walking around the mall when I discovered the hat that I was dreaming of inside
of a hat store (Hat World). Not only was
it better than what I had been dreaming of, but it also looked good on me and
felt comfortable. The only problem was
the price, retail was $32 Canadian. I
had never paid that much for a hat, so I had to pass on buying it. Yet, when I met up with my dad and I told him
about the hat, he immediately gave me the money and told me to go buy it. I practically flew to the store to buy the hat
because I wanted it so bad.
Ever since that day I
have loved the Franchise hat, and have been an avid collector of the
style. However, this first hat is the
most meaningful hat in my collection not only because it’s the most comfortable
hat in the world, but also because my dad bought it for me. And even though it is now torn, dirty and
stinks it will always be my favourite hat.
